camping party decorations kids image
Melody M
I am in charge of coming up with a theme for our kindegarden and 1st grade mommy-son dance. Last year we did 70s and each kid took home a tie dyed shirt. The year before they dressed western and ate BBQ and got a hat. I need a fresh idea that is relatively easy for parents to dress as, and inexpensive to put on. We have very limited time as a parent backed out and I took over at the last minute. 3 weeks!! We have a DJ, and we have food. I need decoration/costume ideas that young kids will be familiar with and adults will enjoy. Some ideas we have thrown around so far are:
pirates
superheroes
50's sock hop (i.e. Grease)
prehistoric (cavemen)
any thoughts or comments or other themes?
thanks

Hey, Theme dances are always a good time, I used to work at a summer camp for 5 years and we had at least one every session. Of the themes you listed I would go with ether the pirates or super heros. Sock hops just aren't fun for kids these days, they don't get them. Pre-historic could be fun, but you wont get very inventive costumes really. With Pirates or super heros, you can really get imaginative with a costume while keeping appropriate. Some themes that worked well for me that I have used have been beach party themes, Colorful theme (have them dress in their favorite/s colors and you can have odd colored food and such), and another popular one is like a movie theme, where you dress like your favorite actor or actress. That last one might not be great for the age group but its somthing to think about. Those are my thoughts on it, but from your list deffinatly pirtates or superheros.

I am looking for unique first birthday ideas. My son is turning one in September, and since it will be mostly adult friends at the party, i am looking for something that is not cutesy and cheesy! Any ideas or ideas of places to look for crafty ideas? thanks.

What about a camp theme? It isn't too cutesy, and there are lots of fun ways to make it perfect for adults.
The color scheme is easy - green and brown for the woods. There are some new camping theme paper goods available as well - http://www.birthdayexpress.com/browse/_/N-i/Ntt-camp/results1.aspx?AID=10645522&PID=1151654
Serve "camp food", hot dogs, kool aid, granola/trail mix, smores (yum!) and popcorn.
Lanterns and small branches from trees in vases are fun decorations. Wildflowers are great too. Set out any forest themed stuffed animal you have...bears, owls, foxes. Throw a few pinecones around for good measure. Set up one of those fake flame torches (sold usually for Halloween) on the buffet and surround it with wood for a fake fire!
Have a fire if you can (September should be perfect weather for it).
Play good camp music. Almost anything by Bob Denver is great. Or get an audio recording of ghost stories!
Have a camping theme movie playing on the tv - Ernest Goes to Camp, Daddy Day Camp, The Great Outdoors, Meatballs are a few to choose from
Have everyone leave messages for your son to read when he is older by signing something with a camp theme... a canoe paddle, a camp t-shirt, a duffle bag.
Party favors are easy - inexpensive items like whistles, compasses, travel sized bug sprays or sunscreen, flashlights. They work for the theme and are useful too!
We have a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Camp theme party. You'll have to adapt some of the ideas but it has more decoration and favor ideas in it.http://www.party411.com/PlanYourParty/Occasion/BarBatMitzvah/LetsgotoCamp.aspx
We have several more kid's birthday themes here if you'd rather do something different, adults would probably enjoy bowling, circus, outerspace and cowboy too
