Throwing a Frog Themed Birthday Party

Are you throwing a Frog Themed Birthday Party for your child? Themed parties are very popular nowadays, and they're often simple to pull off if you have a wee creativity and do a tiny bit of homework. As we know wee boys are made of frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails, such a theme will be right up your wee tadpole's alley! choosing the right decorations and frog themed favors will make his party a smash hit with the rest of the neighborhood. Here are some great ideas for frog themed birthday parties:

Green and Blue - These are the colors to go with when planning your frog themed birthday party. Streamers and decorations should reflect the blue waters of a frog's pond, and the green of the frog and surrounding lily pads. Search for frog themed birthday banners. Checking the internet for frog images will turn up thousands of results - and don't just limit yourself to the green ones. Many exotic African tree frogs come in reds and yellows and even blues! In this digital age most moms people have color printing options available to them, whether at home or by uploading the images to online sites for processing. Print a few glossy 8x10's of these images to hang nearby the party room, and watch the wee ones oogle all the different varieties and colors.

Frog Party Invitations - Again, the web is an unlimited source of great frog images. Frog themed birthday party invitations can undoubtedly be made up to look like fliers, listing the party's date and time in the middle. Cover your invite with beautiful frogs, flies, and lilies. Send them out in green envelopes. Grab a simple roll of frog stickers from a stationary store or cheap online auction, and plaster them on the envelopes and fliers. If you check your local post office, you can even find frog stamps!

Frog Themed Arts and Crafts - Your choices are limitless here. One great idea would be to have each party goer generate his or her own frog mask. Use heavy gauge green building paper or buy plastic visors from a craft or dollar store. Buy a pack of those big googly eyes, and some pre-cut rounded pieces of foam to go behind them. generate some pre-cut black paper 'spots' and then have each child generate their own red frog tongue. A consolidate of glue sticks later, and every person has a simple, fun, easy-to-make frog mask... And you have no mess or cleanup! The possibilities are endless, but always think simple. You're going to be running a party full of kids, and you want things to flow smoothly.

Frog Themed Birthday Games - You can put a frog themed spin on just about any birthday game there is! How about pin the tongue on the frog? Using a poster board and some green paint, build a large frog with an open mouth. Cut some tongue shapes from red or pink building paper and place each child's name on the tongues. Then play it exactly like pin the tail on the donkey, blindfold and all - with the winner being the child who places the frog's tongue closest to the center of the mouth. an additional one idea would be Leapfrog Musical Lily Pads. generate some lily pads out of old green mats or sheets of foam. Play music and have the children frog-hop nearby 'the pond' in circles... When the music stops, every person must find a pad to sit on or they're eliminated - just like musical chairs. Then there's the Frog Bean Bag Toss. Have kids toss green frog-themed bean bags onto pre-cut lily pads, each marked with different amounts of point. Make small pads are worth higher points, and the child with the highest total becomes the winner. With a wee creativity, you always can generate your own game. Leap Frog Relay Race... Frog Bingo (using 'flies' instead of chips!)... Frog-Frog-Tadpole instead of duck-duck-goose... There's no limit!

Frog Themed Birthday Cake - Most bakeries should have no problem production your child a overwhelming frog cake. If however, you'd like to make your own, there are frog-shaped cake pans available on the internet. Using green and white icing, you can decorate it any way you like. Find some low-cost frog figurines from a craft or dollar store, and use them to decorate. For an even more unique idea, find a bakery that will contribute 'frog cakes' - one for each child. These are a fondant sweetmeat in the shape of a frog's head, a parasite base topped in cream and then dipped in green chocolate. A 'mouth' is cut in the top of each cake and then a pair of eyes are added using black sprinkles or toppings. Very cute! Even if you select this, be sure to get a small cake so every person can still sing happy birthday.

Frog Birthday Party Bags - Once again, the dollar store is your friend. Any whole of low-cost frog themed toys and favors can be found at your nearest craft store. Find white lunch bags and have your child pre-color them green before the party, writing each child's name on the bags as well. You get unique favor bags And your child gets to do something fun for his own party to boot! Stretchy frogs, green bouncy balls, plastic frog and fly figurines - then fill the bags with some frog themed candy, like green and brown M&M's or gummy insects. You can even bake some frog cookies beforehand, if you're feeling ambitious enough.

With only a minimal whole of work, your child's frog themed birthday party can be something remembered for a long time to come! It's roughly guaranteed that the wee boys and girls will rush home to their parents with their own themed parties in mind... So be ready to reply questions and offer advice!
