Are you looking for winter birthday party ideas for kids? If you are struggling for party inspiration, then we have plenty of ideas to help. Winter birthdays may not have the advantage of outdoor parties in the sunshine. However, there are still plenty of winter party ideas to make their special day one to remember. Read on to discover some fantastic themes for your seasonal birthday celebration:
Winter Birthday Party Ideas
Cosy Slumber Party
A slumber party is an ideal way to celebrate a winter birthday. So, if you have slightly older children, this could be the perfect party choice.
Preparing the entertainment and food for your slumber party is pretty simple. Firstly, you may want to select an age-appropriate film for the kids and prepare some popcorn and hot chocolate for them to enjoy while they watch. Alternatively, you could make your winter slumber party a pampering event and supply some face masks for the kids to apply and glitter tattoos for them to get creative.
If you want to make the sleepover extra special, add some teepees and decorate the room with fairy lights to create a magical sparkle after dark.
Festive-Themed Party
There is no getting away from the fact that a winter birthday is close to Christmas, so adopting a festive party theme is the obvious choice. You could request that your guests wear a Christmas jumper to the party. In addition, putting up Christmas decorations and paper snowflakes in the party room will add to the festive mood. Creating a festive buffet with gingerbread, pigs in blankets, and turkey sandwiches will make the party even more festive.
To keep the kids entertained at your festive-themed celebration, why not play some Christmas variations of traditional party games? Playing classic favourites such as musical statues and musical bumps, but with Christmas music will bring a festive twist to your entertainment.
Winter Disco
Kids love to dance, which makes a winter disco an excellent birthday party choice. You will also have free rein to make the party as big or small as you would like. If you like the idea of a smaller, inexpensive party, you could host the winter disco at home. Firstly, you will need to push all the furniture out of the way to create a dance floor. Secondly, you need to turn the normal lights off and the disco lights on. If you do not have a disco light, coloured fairy lights are equally effective. Alternatively, for a fuss-free celebration, you may choose to hire a hall and let a kids’ party DJ host the disco.
In terms of decorations, glitter balls are optional! But, if you want to add some colour and sparkle to the occasion, digging out the tinsel is an excellent way to do this with ease. Finally, you will need your child’s help to create their perfect party playlist to get everyone moving and having fun.
Birthday Bake-Off
If the birthday boy or girl loves to bake, why not host a birthday bake-off themed party? Baking is an ideal indoor activity that cannot be spoilt by the weather and is lots of fun, too. Basic cupcakes or sugar cookie recipes are an excellent choice for the kids to make at the party, as they do not require too much time in the oven.
Creating place settings that contain a mixing bowl and wooden spoon for each child, along with a paper chef’s hat, will make the party room look appealing. Laying out bowls with colourful sprinkles, sweets, and icing will ensure that the kids can let their creativity take over and decorate their bakes in spectacular style. Buying party bag favours is not required for a baking party, as children can simply take their creations home with them to show their parents.
