Jungle Birthday Party

A jungle birthday party appeals to boys and girls and to kids (and adults) of all ages. This is a good party theme if you are inviting both boys and girls.

Jungle Party Theme

Why wait for someone's birthday?

A jungle party theme is a great idea for your next pool party.

With brightly colored parrots, snakes, hippos and giraffes, there is lots to creative ways to use these animals for your invitations, decorating, and party favors.

Decorate your cake or cupcake with safari animals and use the cake as your centerpiece.

Find hippo swim rings for your pool games or use them as decorations.

Go on Safari searching for wild animals that are hiding among the landscaping or as a dive game in the swimming pool.

Jungle Party Invitations

Jungle party invitations can be purchased on-line or they can be easily made with some card stock and stickers.

I found these cute safari stickers on clearance and bought them all. Now, they can be used for our invitations and cup cake wrappers.

Jungle Party Decorations

Jungle party decorations begin at the arbor before the pool gate. Hang brightly colored snakes, frogs or lizards from the arbor or vine to greet your guests.

I always decorate the pool gate as well with just inexpensive decorations from our local Dollar Store.

This year I hung a brightly colored parrot mask with snakes hanging on either side. The snakes were purchased at Target.

This cute yellow and orange lion was made from two paper plates, a craft kit from Oriental Trading, a painted dowel and some crepe paper for streamers.

Jungle Party Supplies

jungle party supplies Jungle party supplies can be purchased at your local dollar store or on line - my favorite, cheap place is Oriental Trading. It saves a lot of time running around town.

Start with jungle green plates and cups using a jungle themed tablecloth. The jungle cake can be your centerpiece.

Use wild animal figurines to top your cake for a jungle birthday cake. There are many party favors that appeal to boys and girls and to kids of all ages. For more party supply ideas check out the Jungle Party Store. Jungle Party Supplies

Jungle Party Games

jungle party games

Jungle party games need to be age appropriate. We played the parrot race with kids age 3 - 6 years old. A parrot mask was wrapped around a noodle - one for each player. The two players raced across the pool to the other side.

Send kids off on a "safari" scavenger hunt looking for "clues" of wild animals. Or in the case of a pool party a Safari Dive. Buy hard plastic wild animals and drop them into the pool. Have the guests dive for them. See how many they can find in one breath. Or as each player is taking their turn, instruct them that they need to just find the lion or the zebra.

Why not play Monkey in the Middle? Using a beach ball and 3 players. One player is in the middle. The other two players try to toss the beach to each other without "the monkey" getting it. When "the monkey" catches the ball, the player who tossed it goes in the middle. Jungle Party Games

Jungle Party Favors

Using brightly colored gift bags, decorate them with lions, zebras and giraffes.

Or you can use a brown colored lunch bag and top it with bright green paper grass.

This foam lion kit was purchased from Oriental trading.

Ideas for party favors are snakes, lizards, and finger puppets.

I found some tiger watches on line for less than $1 a piece.

Jungle Birthday Cake

Simply purchase plastic safari animals and place them on top of your homemade or store bought cake.

Instead of making a cake, make cupcakes and sprinkle green sugar on the frosting and place a plastic animal on the top as a little party favor.

This cupcake has a green and white polka dot cupcake wrapper that I cut from cardstock paper.
