Creepy Crawly Kids Spring Party

April Showers bring May flowers but the younger crowd may be more interested in what’s crawling out of the ground! Celebrate all of spring – butterflies and worms and flowers – with a simple outdoor party. Everyone will have so much fun, they won’t even care if it rains!

Spring Party Invitations
Choose a colorful personalized bug theme invitation that will make everyone smile. Pick any design, Easter invitations can be reworded and work well for any spring event.

Feeling creative, cut out flowers or ladybugs from heavy construction paper. Write the party information on the back and mail them in coordinating envelopes.

Combine a party favor and invitation in one, especially if your guest list is small. Purchase bug catchers or even child-size umbrellas at your local discount store. Print the party information on colorful tags and tie them on.

Spring Party Decorations and Party Supplies
Start by welcoming everyone with a bug themed personalized banner. You can hang it outside on the front of the house, or hang it inside so the greets everyone as the come in.

Children love balloons and they’re an easy and economical way to decorate. Balloon bouquets in bright tones will look wonderful scattered around your party room or patio. Add a butterfly balloon for an extra fun touch. Don’t forget to hold the bouquets down with foil wrapped weights so they don’t blow away.

Flowers always make wonderful decorations. Use real ones from your gardens if you can. Or, use a fun shower of flowers cascade centerpiece – it will be blooming long after the party is over. Spring flower cut-outs make wonderful wall decorations too!

If you have a few little helpers you can have them create bugs out of construction paper. Bees, ladybugs, dragonflies, and butterflies will be so cute hanging from the ceiling on clear fishing line. Ants, beetles, worms, and grasshoppers can decorate the floor or lower walls. Or hang up giant butterflies! The room will look great with all of the colorful buzzing bugs about!

Spring Party Table Decorations and Menu
Make sure your tables look as festive as your decorations. There are fabulous choices for tableware; choose the one that would be most appealing to your guests. Younger children will love a table set with spring paper goods.

Don’t forget table covers that coordinate perfectly with your tableware. Cloths are available in beautiful pastel or bright colors.

Have fun with the centerpieces. The balloon bouquets can double as centerpieces as well as decorations. Or make centerpieces using a small pail or watering can. Fill it with child size garden tools, seeds, garden gloves and some gummy worms too. At the end of the party you can disassemble the centerpieces and give each child a piece of it – they will love that!

This crowd will probably be happiest with simple finger food. Sandwiches, pizza, cut up fruit and vegetables are all they’ll need. And “bug juice” is a must! Dessert has to be mud pie – what could be tastier than chocolate pudding with chocolate cookie crumble and gummy worms made in a flower pot and served with a garden shovel?

Spring Party Activities
The greatest part about kids’ parties is while they need lots of activities, they don’t have to be very complicated. Depending on the age of the kids, traditional party games are perfect. Duck, duck goose, tag or kickball are always fun. Take a hike, or create a scavenger hunt, and have everyone look for signs of spring – worms, birds and ladybugs.

If you’re planning on keeping everyone inside, craft projects are always great entertainment. Simple plastic flower pots can be decorated with stickers or markers. You can use them as favor bags when it’s time to leave.
