Decorations: Use balloons with swirling, bubble like colors.
Food: Bake a cake in a round mold or a metal mixing bowl. Frost it smoothly with white frosting. Save 3 or 4 tablespoons of frosting to color then swirl the different colors of frosting through the white frosting on the cake, the way colors swirl through a bubble.
Serve punch with round ice cubes floating in it.
Make sandwiches of bread cut in circles.
Activities: Give each guest a large plate covered with bubble mix and a straw. Let them practice blowing bubbles then have a bubble contest.
Give prizes for:
The biggest bubble
The highest pile of bubbles
The pretties bubble
The longest lasting bubble
Blowing a bubble inside a bubble
Favors: Bubble gum, jars of bubbles, candy that looks like bubbles, or balloons.
I found this idea in the book Science Wizardry for Kids by Margaret Kenda and Phyllis S. Williams
How fun! We always have a bubble machine for Amara’s birthday parties and the kids all love them. This would be fun!
What a perfect plan for a summer party! And it doesn’t even have to be anyone’s birthday.
Bubbles can always save the day! Fun summer activity.
No matter the age, every kid loves bubbles! Great idea for the favors. I recently learned (through all the students at the tutoring site I manage) that bubble gum is still loved beyond reason! It’s the favorite treat in my treat jar.
Bubbles are a great substitute for the pied piper. Wherever the bubbles are, the kids will follow. Need new friends for your little one? Just bring a jar of bubbles to the park!
