If you are searching for a theme for a kids' party, consider a theme that is sure to please everyone. Kids love pitching a tent and sleeping in the great outdoors and you can create a whole theme based around camping and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your backyard. This is a great party option for scouts or children who love being out and about in nature.
First begin by planning a simple menu of campfire favorites. If you have a fire pit, the kids can roast hot dogs over the fire or perhaps create their own foil packet dinners. There are many interesting camping recipes online and you simply just need to find one that suits the tastes of your guests. You can also cook up the hot dogs or foil packs on the grill or using a propane-powered camping stove. Another option would to cook up a pot of chili over the grill or campfire and spoon ladles of chili into bags of corn chips and have the kids add a variety of toppings, such as cheese and onions.
Dessert is always a big party element and with a camping party, you might automatically think about creating some s'mores. An easier option would be to go online to Chocolate Pizza Company and simply order a few of their unique Campfire Pizzas. These are handmade chocolate pizzas topped with mini marshmallows and graham cracker chunks. Kids can just break off a hunk of the pizza and munch, and it's even packed in a real pizza box so kids will enjoy the surprise when you bring out the box and they find a gourmet chocolate pizza inside instead of a traditional pizza, with dough, sauce and cheese.
Games will be a big part of the event, but it's easy to find some outdoor activities the kids will love. Consider games such as a balloon toss, tug of war, sack races and bocce ball are all great options for an outdoor party. Camping and hiking are a natural pair so take the kids on a hike through your neighborhood. Give each child a list of items to find for a fun scavenger hunt or they also could work in pairs to find items such as a dandelion, a leaf, a flat rock, a pine cone and other natural items. When it's dark, set up a ring toss using glow bracelets for some nighttime fun.
You can set up one giant tent or perhaps several small tents and have kids bring sleeping bags or place mats or air mattress and blankets and pillows inside the tents. This can be a great opportunity to show kids how to pitch a tent or you can have the sleeping area all set up before the kids arrive. Be sure to set out a big picnic blanket where kids can eat dinner, munch on chocolate pizza and tell scary stories once the sun sets. There are also some cool phone apps that will help you identify constellations in the night sky and if you have one, bring out the telescope and let kids get a closer look at the moon and stars.
For the decorations, consider picnic-style decor such as gingham-checked tablecloths and napkins. You can place spoons and forks in Mason jars or cleaned-out tin cans. Camping lanterns provide light, as well as enhancing the theme of your party. Hang some string lights on and around your trees for extra sparkle. There are even cool string lights in the shape of camping lanterns that might make a fun decoration.
