Crafts & Activities

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

Duck Swim
Invite your guests to bring their favorite rubber ducky with them to the party! If you have an inflatable pool, or large movable tub, fill it up for the rubber duckies to swim in. If the weather permits, let the children get wet and play too. No matter what, the children will love seeing the other rubber duckies and watching all the ducks swim together.

Rubber Ducky Placemats
Purchase a coloring book with a duck theme, crayons, thin pieces of cardboard (for stiffening the placemats), and a roll of clear Con-Tact paper. Remove pages from the coloring book and cut the cardboard to match the size of 2 coloring pages. (Cut the Con-Tact paper a little larger). At the party, give each child two pages and let them have fun coloring. When they’re finished, lay the pictures on top of the cardboard and cover it with the clear Con-Tact paper.

Duck, Duck, Goose
This classic children’s game is perfect for any party. Seat your guests in a circle and let the birthday child begin as the “Goose.” He/she walks around the circle tapping each child on the head, saying “Duck” with each tap. When the birthday child is ready to choose the next person to be the Goose, he/she says “Goose” when tapping the chosen person on the head. That child must get up and chase the birthday child around the circle. If the new Goose does not tag the birthday child before he/she makes it all the way around the circle and sits in the open spot, then the new Goose becomes “it.” If the new Goose tags the birthday child, then the birthday child remains “it” for the next round.

Duck Pond Game
The object of this game is to toss the ducks into the pond. It is even more fun if you have a yellow rain hat for the thrower to wear. If you have an inflatable baby pool, or large tub, use it as the target. If not, decorate an empty cardboard box like a pond, coloring the inside blue. Take turns and help each youngster try to toss their rubber ducky into the pond from a short distance away. Even if you have to toss the ducks for the children, they will still enjoy the game!

Edible Necklaces
Children will need help with this activity, but they will love making (and tasting) their jewelry. For young kids, Cheerios®, or any plain, doughnut-shaped cereal is the best material to use. Although you can use thread to string the jewelry, a thicker material is easier for kids to hold, as long as it fits through the hole in the center of the cereal. Use thin licorice whips for completely edible necklaces and bracelets.

Storytime
Gather your guests together to listen to a wonderful story! Even though they may not understand all the words, the children will enjoy sitting together and looking at the pictures. This is a great activity for entertaining the kids while everyone arrives, or helping them calm down as the party comes to an end.

Animal Quackers
Fill a bowl with plain animal crackers. Set out for the children to snack on during the party, or send a box home with each child as a party favor. Or, if you prefer, serve “quackers” and cheese instead.

Banana Smoothies
Mash 3 medium-sized bananas in a large bowl and add 1 cup (8 oz.) low-fat vanilla yogurt. Thin with 1/2 cup milk, or more, until the mixture reaches desired consistency. Makes approx. eight 1/2-cup servings.

Simply Delicious Sandwiches
Get the gang together for these fun-shaped sandwiches. Make your child’s favorite kind of sandwich, and use cookie cutters to cut them into familiar shapes, such as triangles, circles, stars, etc. For added fun, cut sandwiches into duck shapes.

Jell-O Jigglers®
Purchase several packages of your child’s favorite flavors of Jell-O brand gelatin. Follow the directions on the package to make the popular Jell-O Jigglers®. To make these fun to eat, use cookie cutters to make fun shapes! Lay them out on a platter and let the kids choose the shape they want.

Sunny Lemonade
Sunshine brings a smile to anyone’s face, so your guests are sure to love this sweet treat! Combine 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup lemon juice, and the juice from 6 freshly squeezed lemons. Stir until sugar dissolves completely. Pour mixture into a 2-quart container and fill with cold water. Add ice to cool.

Creative Cupcakes
Your little tots will be delighted when they’re served their own miniature birthday cake. Simply bake your child’s favorite kind of cupcakes or muffins and let them cool. Since elaborate decoration isn’t necessary to please young children, keep it simple. Frost with a thin layer of icing or top them with sprinkles. Don’t forget to stick a candle in the birthday child’s cupcake!

Cake & Ice Cream Sandwiches
Your ducklings will quack for more after they get a taste of these scrumptious sandwiches! You will need 1/2 gallon of your favorite ice cream (or frozen yogurt), and 16 small angel food dessert cakes, or 8 cupcakes, or 8 muffins. If you choose to use muffins or cupcakes, cut each one in half to make two sandwich parts. Fill a pastry bag with softened ice cream, or use a knife to spread the ice cream on the bottom half of each dessert cake, muffin, or cupcake. Place the remaining halves on top to finish. Wrap the sandwiches in foil or plastic wrap and freeze.
