It's easier to plan a children's party if you have a cool theme, and if your guests include kids who love nature and playing outside, consider throwing a backyard camping party. While just about every kid loves camping and sleeping in a tent, hosting a campout party at home is far easier than packing up the car, renting a camping space and hitting the road. Here are a few fun suggestions for your camping-themed even.
It doesn't take long for pint-sized guests to start asking about food, and for this event you will want to plan out a menu based upon foods you might fix on a campout. For instance, perhaps you will roast hot dogs and serve up some baked beans. Heavy duty foil can be used to make individual dinners for each child, as well. These can be cooked right in a fire pit or tossed on the grill, whatever you have. One fun option would be to give each kid a corn chip bag and top the chips with chili, and then kids can add cheese, slices of grilled hot dog, catsup, mustard, onions or other toppings.
When one thinks about camping desserts, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores instantly spring to mind. While you can certainly do this, it might be more fun and easier to simply order a gourmet chocolate pizza from Chocolate Pizza Company. One of their top-selling pizzas is their signature Campfire Pizza, which is a blend of milk or dark chocolate and chunks of crispy graham crackers and chewy mini marshmallows topped with a drizzle of white chocolate. This unique chocolate treat will elevate your camping party into something truly special. It even is shipped directly to you inside a genuine pizza box which the kids will love.
Games are an important part of any party for children, and there are many great outdoor games suitable for a campout party. Consider taking the kids on a "hike" around your yard and neighborhood. This hike can provide you with an opportunity to point out plants, birds, bugs and other creatures and you can even create a scavenger hunt for the hike. Kids can find rocks, leaves, a feather, twigs and other interesting items and put them in paper bags. You can also play games such as bocce ball, set up a ring toss or even have a sack race. When it gets dark, kids love to play with glow sticks, which usually can be purchased at your local dollar stores.
You can set up one giant tent or perhaps several small tents and have kids bring sleeping bags or place mats or air mattress and blankets and pillows inside the tents. This can be a great opportunity to show kids how to pitch a tent or you can have the sleeping area all set up before the kids arrive. Be sure to set out a big picnic blanket where kids can eat dinner, munch on chocolate pizza and tell scary stories once the sun sets. There are also some cool phone apps that will help you identify constellations in the night sky and if you have one, bring out the telescope and let kids get a closer look at the moon and stars.
Every themed party needs some decorations and for a camping party, think about the items you bring camping. Lanterns are not only a helpful source of illumination, they double as a decoration. You can place your food and chocolate pizzas on top of a table decorated with a checked cloth. Tins cans can be used to hold silverware for a rustic look. Place some teddy bears on an outside chair next to a sign that says "Don't Feed the Bears." There are even novelty string lights that you can hang here and there that are tiny little camping lanterns or you could use owl string lights, dragonfly string lights or just a good old set of clear tree lights can be used for a bit of extra charm.
