Concoct some fun with this super cute and studious theme!  The creativity is off the charts in this Science Party from Jen Herrema- Jen hosted this adorable party for her son, and it is full of great ideas for your little scientist!

The party table is fabulous- and I love how each guest had their own lab coat!  Details are everywhere in this party!

This tower of cookies with of beakers, test tubes, and element N9 is perfect!

The activities for the party are spot-on and so much fun for the kids!  I love the elephant soap activity and the awesome photo booth!

What a SMART way to celebrate!! Thank you for sharing Noah’s party!!

Here is more about the party from Noah’s mom Jen…

 

As my son gets older, it seems to be getting harder to come up with new and fun birthday theme ideas. He’s in 3rd grade this year and he’s been learning a lot more science.  I came across Lillian Hope Designs printables on Etsy and I showed the science theme to my son, Noah. I asked him if he would like to have a science party for his 9th birthday where we could try experiments and he said YES!!
After much research on Etsy and Pinterest, there were a few ideas that we just had to do, such as radioactive worms (jello filled Petri dishes with gummy worms), science cookies, individual lab coats and personalized badges.
I went online and found the Science Wizard who does assemblies and birthday parties. I contacted him right away and booked him for the party. I’m so glad I did because the kids just loved seeing all the cool science demonstrations. They were having fun AND learning at the same time. Awesome!
I also wanted to do a science experiment with the kids. We decided on the Elephant Toothpaste Experiment. It uses simple ingredients and there’s a lot of you tube videos online. It didn’t turn out quite how we thought it would but that’s the fun of science. There were a few green, foamy explosions that were definitely not on the agenda but the kids enjoyed it!
This was one of the most interactive and fun parties ever!

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN

Wow! My daughter turned into a teen!  Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone.  I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key.  At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate.  I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ).  So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could.  It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover.
