Jungle Party Decorations

jungle party decorations

Jungle party decorations need to be colorful and age appropriate. We made these bright yellow and orange lions and giraffes out of paper plates. We painted them yellow and glued on the faces that were actually from a gift bag kit.

Paint the dowels yellow and add orange and yellow streamers. Jungle party decorating can be inexpensive if you use a little imagination. Not only are these jungle party themed animals used for decorating we will use them for the jungle parade when the kids arrive.

Each child picks their favorite animal for a jungle dance around the pool to jungle music.

This colorful parrot sits atop a bright colored tablecloth with some slithery snakes hiding in the green grass. The parrot mask was purchased at our local dollar store.

Jungle Party Theme

Hang a parrot or monkey mask/visor onto the pool gate with some colorful snakes hanging from the sides. Using chalk draw elephant or lion prints on the sidewalk to the pool or even starting in the driveway.

You can also cut out paw prints from sheets of colored foam and place them on the sidewalk as a lead into the first game, a Lion Hunt.

The blue green snake is hanging from a hook inserted in the rib of the patio umbrella. I actually bought several of these snakes at the end of the season for our Jungle Pool party over Labor Day, so I 'll be hanging a snake on each rib.

Also hang strips of green crepe paper at the entrance to your pool - at the pool gate or in our case, the arbor that is just before the pool entrance.

If you have an arbor, in stead of green or brown crepe paper, hang a green vinyl tablecloth over a clear string. Cut the tablecloth into strips so that the kids have to "push their way" through the wild jungle plants.

I found a template for these lion foot prints on line and printed out several copies.

Cut them out, color the paws in if you have time ( I colored one set and left the rest uncolored and they looked great.)

Then tape them on the sidewalk entrance to your pool or front door.

The kids loved following the paw prints into the pool entrance and when they left they stepped on each paw print - trying not to touch the cement.

Kids can make anything into a game! jungle party decorations Drape brown and lime green crepe paper at the door entrance or in our case, the arbor is the entrance to our back yard pool area.

First cut some clear string and tie it across the arbor.

Then cut the crepe paper long enough so it almost touches the ground. As you can see from the picture I loosely tied one strand of brown and one strand of green crepe paper together.

Swimming Pool Party Decorations

We purchased a set of twelve Jungle Animal Shaped Beach Balls and had them blown up and floating in the pool when the guests arrived.

We used these fun beach balls for decorations, games and as take home party favors.

Use the masks for a pool party game as well. Have an adult wear the mask and chase the guests. Any one who gets tagged is "frozen."

Monkey Party Supplies

Monkey party supplies, like this cute monkey visor can be used lots of different ways. Use it as a centerpiece with a lime green tablecloth and green grass.

The monkey visor can also be used for a monkey race. Attach the visor to a foam noodle. Two at a time, have the kids sit on the noodle and race to the other side of the pool.

I found these monkey visors at my favorite local Dollar store.

Monkey Cupcake

Let your cake be the centerpiece - in this case these cute monkey cupcakes take center stage. Make your own cupcake liners out of green polka dot scrapbooking paper.

Top the cake with a monkey and then sprinkle green sugar and chocolate sprinkles on the frosting.

Use a cupcake stand to display the cupcakes and you have dessert and a centerpiece.
