Crafts & Activities
Theme related children's crafts and activities for children's birthday parties.

Fish for a Name Tag
Make a fish-shaped name tag for each guest using thick, colorful paper. Decorate with markers and attach a paper clip to the mouth of each fish. Place all the fish in an empty kiddie pool or decorated box. As each guest arrives, hand him or her a fishing pole (sturdy stick with a yarn “line” and a magnet “hook”). When a fish is “caught,” write the child’s name on it or give them the name of their favorite character from the Finding Nemo movie.

Squirting Gallery
Party guests will have lots of fun testing their accuracy with this fun outdoor game! Set up several empty plastic pop bottles at a distance 8-10 ft from the place where players will stand. Lay a jump rope down for the line shooters must stand behind. Give each guest a squirt gun, and see who can knock down the most bottles! For younger children, decrease the distance between the bottles and the shooting line.

Underwater Swim
To begin, guests stand in a circle, facing inward. Choose three underwater creatures and walk around the circle naming the kids in sequence - whale, shark, turtle, whale, shark, turtle, etc., so you have several of each underwater animal standing at intervals.

When you call out the name of a group, the kids in that group go for a “swim.” This means walking around the outside of the circle and listening to your instructions. If you say the sea is rough, they must jog around the circle. When you say it’s getting rougher they run faster and if you say the tide turns, they turn and run in the other direction. When you say “STORM,” they must run back to their original places in the circle. The last to arrive is out and sits in place, facing outward. To make the game more fun, call out more than one group at a time. Continue the game until there is only one player left “swimming.”

Take a Trip Underwater
If time permits, take your guests on a trip to your local aquarium to learn about everyday life under the sea! Many aquariums offer tours and programs especially for children. Perhaps your guests will be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Nemo!

Making Waves
You will need the following for this activity: cooking oil, glitter, confetti, a small plastic bottle for each guest, blue or green food coloring, rubber cement glue, and water. To begin, use a funnel to fill each bottle half full of water. Add blue or green food coloring and mix. Use the funnel to fill the bottle almost to the top with oil. Point out how the oil floats above the water! Next, add confetti and glitter to decorate the liquid. When finished, seal the lid on the bottle tightly with rubber cement; allow to dry. Your guests will love playing with the waves they’ve created!

Sea Shell Treasure Hunt
Use your child’s sandbox or fill a plastic swimming pool with sand. Add different sea shells and cover with sand. Let the kids search for the shells and take them home as party favors. Add unusual rocks or other treasures that can be found under the sea.

Octopus Tag
The birthday child begins as the Octopus in the middle of a large playing area. All other players are Fish who must try to run past the Octopus to the other side of the playing area. If a Fish is tagged, he or she holds hands with the Octopus and become a tentacle to help tag more fish. The last Fish alive, wins!

Fish, Fish, Shark
This game is based on the traditional “Duck, Duck, Goose” game, but instead of a goose chasing a duck, a shark chases a fish. Start with all your little fishes seated in a circle. Designate a leader to walk around the circle, tapping guests on the head and calling each person a fish. After several guests have been tapped, the leader chooses one guest and yells out “Shark” when tapping him or her on the head. The Shark chases the leader and tries to tag her as she races around the circle and back to the Shark’s spot. If the leader is caught, then she remains the leader another round. If the leader escapes the Shark, the Shark becomes the new leader. Repeat the game until every guest has a chance to be the leader.

18" Clown Fish Piñata
A removable sticker marks the hidden location where candy should be inserted. Piñata fillers and pull-string piñata kit sold separately.

Piñatas

Kids love the excitement of trying to break open a piñata and see the treasures rain down. This 96-piece assortment of toys and candy is perfect for eight guests, and will bring even more fun to your piñata activity.

Pull-String Piñata Kit
Turn your piñata into a pull-string for a gentler piñata activity. Kit includes trap door release and 20 pull strings.

Clam Chowder
For an o’fish’al theme-related dish, serve clam chowder topped with oyster crackers! Simply purchase canned clam chowder and warm it prior to meal time. Serve with crackers.

Starfish Cake
Bake your child’s favorite cake in two round cake pans. When cool, leave one layer whole and cut the second layer into five equal triangle sections. (These five pieces will become the legs of the starfish.) Place the first layer in the center of a large, flat serving tray or platter. Trim the curved edges of the starfish legs, so they fit snugly against the round edge of the body piece. Arrange the legs neatly around the body of the starfish and attach with icing.

Frost the entire starfish with bright yellow, orange, purple, or red icing. Decorate with colored sprinkles while the icing is still damp to give it a spiny texture. For extra fun, spread blue frosting on the serving tray to make it look like the starfish is in the water.

Fish Crackers
Set out a bowl of fish-shaped crackers for your guests to snack on during the party, or as an appetizer while you prepare other snacks.

Worms in a Blanket
Don’t be surprised if the little fishes at your party get hooked on these delicious worms! To prepare, purchase your favorite brand of hot dogs, cheese, and refrigerator croissants. Slice hot dogs lengthwise and cut cheese into strips. Unroll croissants and stuff them with hot dogs and cheese. Roll croissants back up and bake as directed, or until golden brown. Enjoy!

Turtle Shell Treats
Your guests will love this treat inspired by Crush, the 150-year-old sea turtle who helps Marlin and Dory find their way through the Eastern Australian Current. This healthy snack can be prepared quickly beforehand, or used as a fun activity during the party! Make one as a centerpiece, or prepare one for each guest.

To begin, spread a large leaf of lettuce on a plate. Set a pear half (canned or fresh) in the center of the plate to make the turtle’s shell. Cut two apricot halves in half to make four legs and place two on each side of the pear. Add an apricot half to make a head. Finish with mini chocolate chips or raisins for eyes, nose, etc.

Shark Punch
This refreshing drink has a surprise “bite” lurking just beneath the surface! A day before the party, make shark ice cubes by freezing bite-sized gummy shark candy in ice cube trays filled with water. Let the trays stand at room temperature for an hour to remove the air bubbles before placing them in the freezer. The candy will dissolve slightly while freezing, tinting the cubes a soft pastel color.

Then, prepare blue drink mix according to package instructions (Kool-Aid® works well). Pour the blue drink into a punch bowl and add 2 liters of ginger ale. When serving, place two or three shark cubes in a tall, clear glass for each child and fill with punch!

Seaweed Slaw
Cook three 10 oz. packages of French-cut style green beans according to directions on the package. Drain and chill for two hours. Prepare dressing by combining 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Stir until smooth. Toss dressing with beans and chill for several hours, or overnight. (For guests who are not fond of green beans/vegetables, consider a completely different "seaweed" alternative: use diced or balled honeydew melon to make a seaweed salad with green grapes, green gelatin, or other tasty ingredient colored with green food coloring.)
