With warmer weather and longer nights there is nothing quite as exciting as the joy of celebrating outside under the sun.  There are ample themes that lend themselves to the great outdoors.  Kids love outdoor parties, whether it’s a picnic in the park, a beach day or  a camp-out.

First of all, consider selecting a theme can set the tone for the entire event; choose a theme based on the birthday person’s interests.  Once a theme has been selected it is easy to incorporate activities and games to tie in. Consider activities that will keep the children entertained and engaged.  Add a BBQ into the mix, refreshments, party bag fillers or pre-filled party bags and you have the created the perfect summer celebration.

Get ready to throw the ultimate outdoor bash with trendy themes.  We’ve got you covered with decor ideas, fun games, and must-have goodies for themed party bags.

Beach Party

If you can’t get to warm sands and sea, then bring the beach party to you!  Set up a small inflatable pool with maybe sandboxes for building castles and have some water balloons at the ready in buckets.  Set the tone by adding some  sealife themed fillers and beach-themed designs like seashells, waves, or tropical prints for your paper cups and plates.

Jungle Adventure

Swing into adventure with a jungle-themed outdoor kids’ party! From the moment your little explorers arrive, they’ll be transported to a world of lush greenery, wild animals, and exciting activities. Whether you’re hosting the party in your backyard or at a local park, this guide will help you create an unforgettable jungle experience for kids of all ages.

Use artificial vines or palm leaves to create a thick wild jungle canopy and place life-sized cardboard cutouts of jungle animals like tigers, elephants, monkeys, and parrots around the party area.  Alternatively, you could make it a day trip and visit a safari park or zoo.

You could also include a scavenger hunt, face painting or a jungle obstacle course with activities such as crawling under vines (ropes), jumping over logs (pool noodles) and balancing on stepping stones (cushions).

When everyone needs a rest our Jungle Colouring Activity Pack can come to the rescue.  16 pictures of animals to colour, sticker sheets and crayons provide the perfect chill out opportunity whilst lunch is prepared.  Our Jungle themed range includes lots of fun activities that included colour-in jigsaws, animal themed 3D puzzles and tattoos.  The Jungle Animal Filled party bag is a popular choice amongst our wild explorers!  Grab some animal masks to get the kids into the spirit of the jungle.

Garden Carnival

Turn your garden into a carnival venue for the day by adding lights, colour and music.  String up bright multicoloured bunting and add fairy lights.  Reds, yellows, blues and greens help create a perfect setting.  Consider adding balloons and paper lanterns to make the occasion truly festive.  A great way of creating different areas to the garden is to make chalkboard signs or wooden planks and label them, such as ‘Snacks’, ‘Games’, ‘Face Painting’ ‘Photo Booth’ and so on.  Small puzzles with pictures of butterflies, flowers or birds can serve to make a great quiet-time activity.

If budget and space permit you could consider renting a bouncy castle for a day and inviting family and friends to join you in the garden.

Pirates

Activities are the heart of any successful children’s party, and a pirate theme offers a treasure trove of options. Plan a treasure hunt with the treasure map game where the kids can follow clues to find hidden “treasure” around the yard or park. You can create a pirate ship out of large cardboard boxes for imaginative play or organize a “walk the plank” game using a sturdy wooden board and a small kiddie pool. Don’t forget to include some classic pirate games like “Pin the Patch on the Pirate” or a water balloon cannonball fight to keep the excitement high. Our ready-made pirate themed pass the parcel also makes a great addition to a party and can be played anywhere!

Outdoor Themed Filled Party Bags

During summer our outdoor party bags are a huge hit to give to party guests to thank them for coming and leaving them with last memories.  They also provide the perfect opportunity to grab some items that can be taken to any outdoor venue whether it’s the beach or a park and add some fun to the day.  Three of our most frequently outdoor themed filled party bags are:

• Outdoor Fun Party Bag
• Games Party Bag
• Neon Activity Party Bag

If you are creating your own party bags the key is to include items that are both enjoyable and practical for outdoor play.  You will find plenty of items on our site including balls, bubbles, chalk and boomerangs and sunglasses!  A good rule of thumb when creating your outdoor party bags is to group them according to age.  You can also personalise them by adding names and initials, plus tying with a colorful ribbon or tag with a message.

Customizing party bags for Different Age Groups

• Younger Kids (Ages 3-5): Focus on simple, colorful items that are easy to use, like chunky chalk, easy-grip binoculars, or soft toys.
• Older Kids (Ages 6-8): Include more interactive items like DIY kits (e.g., make-your-own bird feeder), activity books, or more detailed scavenger hunt challenges.
• Tweens (Ages 9-12): Opt for slightly more sophisticated items like nature journals, mini travel games, or science-based outdoor kits.

Outdoor Party Games

No outdoor celebration is complete without games, the ideas below are perfect for adding some excitement to the day.

Piñata – select a  themed ones from our range that can be tied to trees, branches, washing lines or even a netball hoop.  Fill it with small toys and sweets, blindfold each player and watch as they take it in turns to break the piñata.

Duck Pond – fill a bowl or paddling pool with water and floating rubber ducks.  Mark the bottom of the ducks with different colours to correspond with different prizes.

Treasure hunt – Create a scavenger hunt around the garden or park

Pass the parcel – check out our range of themed ready-made past the parcels and take one with you to the beach or the park.  Add some music and with each layer everyone gets a treat.

Water gun fight – arm everyone with water pistols and let the fun begin. You can play individually or in teams.

Slip ‘n Slide: Set up a slippery plastic sheet and slide across it. Add some water and soap for extra fun!

Frisbee Golf: Set up targets around the yard or park, and see who can hit each target with the fewest frisbee throws

Limbo: Players take turns leaning backward to pass under a horizontal bar. Lower the bar after each round until only one player can pass.

Croquet: Hit wooden balls through a series of hoops using mallets. The first player to complete the course wins.
