Crafts & Activities

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

Fire Alarm Relay
Sound the alarm and put on the gear - there’s no time to waste! Your fire fighters will need to dress as fast as possible, run to the blazing fire, attempt to put it out, undress, and return to their team line. Before the party, collect two sets of fire fighter’s clothing - boots, oversized jackets, hats, and gloves. Use masking take to mark the start/finish line on the floor. Put chairs across the room with an empty wrapping paper tube on them. This serves as the location of your fire and the hose to put it out. At the party, divide your fire fighters into two equal groups and have them get in two lines. Either you or the birthday child should demonstrate what you want them to do. They will need to run to the chair, pick up the hose, run around the chair with the hose spraying the fire, set the hose back on the chair, return to where they put on the clothes and take them off, and go back to their line. The next person in line then repeats all these actions until all team members have taken a turn. The team that completes the relay first, wins!

Fire Hat Relay
Dash after that fire in this fun relay game. Before the party, cut four large fire hat shapes from red poster board (any cardboard will do, and you can color it). Each hat should be approximately 12-15 inches in diameter. Mark a start/finish line on the floor with masking tape. At the party, divide your guests into two teams and line them up. Give the first person in each line two fire hats. These hats become the only thing they can step on as they travel from the front of the line, around a chair, and back again. Place one hat on the ground, step on it, place the next hat in front, then step on it, etc. This relay game will keep them rolling in laughter as they race to the finish line.

Stick the Hat on the Fire Fighter
Your friendly fire fighter can’t go to the fire without his trusty hat. Help him by trying to stick his hat on the top of his head. Before the party, draw a fire fighter on poster board or butcher paper and hang it on the wall. Use red construction paper to cut out a fire hat for each child. Cut a few extra in case of mishaps at the party. Put each child’s name on the fire hat, and just before it’s their turn, put a strip of double-sided tape on the back. Blindfold the first child, gently spin them around, and direct them toward the fire fighter. The fire hat that ends up closest to the top of the fire fighter’s head, wins! Children this age all need to feel like winners, so prepare extra awards for each participant. You can have fun handing them out by awarding things like closest to the belly button, closest to the eyes, etc. Note: Alter the game to play "Stick the Hat on the Dalmatian" for extra fun!

Balloon Pass
Have the children stand in two single-file lines, facing the same direction. Place a balloon between the knees of the first child in each line. When the race begins, the child turns to face the next person in line, the second child must grasp the balloon with his or her knees and turn to pass it on to the third person, and so on. If the balloon falls to the ground the team must start over. The first team to successfully pass the balloon down the line, wins!

Bucket Brigade
Divide the children into two teams and place a large tub full of water between them. Set two empty tubs a short distance away, one for each team. To begin the game, give the first person in each line an empty bucket. When you say "go" the first two players fill their buckets with as much water as they can, carrying it to their team's empty tub. Each player pours the water in and runs back to the next player in line. The game is over when every player has participated in the bucket brigade. At the end, measure the water in each team's tub to determine a winner.

Put Out the Fire!
For this relay game, you'll need to divide your party guests into two teams. Give each team a blanket and blow up enough ballons for each player to have one. (Make sure your balloons are red or orange to represent flames!) Draw a simple house or car on posterboard and tape your balloons to it, as if it is on fire. Or, simply place the balloons in two clusters. Line the children up a short distance away and give the first person in each line a blanket. When the game begins, the first player from each team runs to the "burning" object, takes a ballon, covers it with a blanket and sits on it until it pops. The game continues until every team member has smothered a flame to help put our their team's fire.

Tasty Treats And Menu Ideas

Hook 'n Ladder Hot Dogs
Eating on the run? Grab a hot dog in a bun, quick and crunchy carrot sticks, and applesauce. Set up a condiment bar for the children to prepare their hot dogs just the way they like them. Include ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, onions, and grated cheese. Have their plates ready to grab, already loaded with carrot sticks and applesauce, all they have to do is add the hot dog!

Red Licorice Fire Hoses
Coil thin red licorice ropes to look like coiled fire hoses. Serve hoses on a tray and let each guest choose their own. Before gobbling them up, your fire fighters can uncoil their hoses and put out a pretend fire with their miniature hoses. Note: for more fun, purchase canned bread sticks and shape the dough into coiled fire hoses before baking.

Firehouse Floats
Bubbling excitement is barely contained in these tasty treats. Fill a tall glass two-thirds full with root beer and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Watch the bubbling action but don’t let it overflow! Serve with a long-handled spoon and straw.

Frothy Fruit Punch
You will need: 1-10 oz. package frozen strawberries (partially thawed); 1-10 oz. package frozen raspberries (partially thawed); 1-12 oz. can frozen lime juice concentrate; 1-32 oz. bottle of ginger ale (chilled); 1-32 oz. bottle of club soda (chilled); and 1 pint vanilla ice cream. Puree fruit in a blender and combine with the lime juice concentrate. Chill for at least one hour. Pour mixture into a punch bowl, add ginger ale, club soda and scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Spotted Dalmatians
Bring a bunch of spotted dogs to your party with this easy recipe! Simply make your favorite sugar cookies and add miniature chocolate chips to resemble Dalmatians. Roll the dough, cut out dog shapes with a cookie cutter, and bake according to recipe instructions. To accompany your dogs, cut out one cookie in the shape of a fire hydrant and decorate it with red frosting. For extra fun, insert sticks into each cookie before baking to make cookie pops. After the cookies have cooled, arrange them on a piece of Styrofoam with the fire hydrant in the middle. Cover the Styrofoam with shredded green paper or plastic Easter grass for added fun.
