As a youth librarian, I am always looking for fun program
ideas. I’ve noticed that a lot of our
programs would make fantastic children’s parties. Here are five fun ideas that go beyond the
traditional party themes. (Links are to my Pinterest boards for those themes).
1. Superheroes
A great
theme for preschoolers through tweens.
Design your own superhero, complete with logo and mask. Hold a trivia
contest and run an obstacle course.
This is sure
to delight tweens and teens. Trivia, snacks, crafts and a zombie apocalypse drill.
3. Spa Day
Give manicures
and pedicures, make jewelry, lip gloss, bath salts and more, sip mocktails from
fancy glasses. Tween and teen girls will have a blast.
Upcycling is
all the rage! Crafts made from materials that would normally be recycled or
thrown away, such as egg cartons, bread tags, floppy disks, and cereal boxes.
Show a
whimsical side with a tea party inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Giant tissue paper flowers, brightly colored
sweets, and a game of “flamingo” croquet.
