2. The invitation to space fun
If you want to celebrate children’s birthday without an invitation card and invitation text, i can’t count on many guests. Invitation cards are necessary and very easy to make.Space motifs are cut out of coloured or silver clay cardboard and provided with the date and time of the party. This looks most beautiful in silver writing. The shapes can be planets, stars or maybe space rockets.
It is recommended to make stencils for this beforehand. If you want, you can also design the whole thing a little more elaborately than a folding card in the form of an astronaut card and, for example, glue it with silver starlets from the craft shop. If you celebrate children’s birthday with a fancy card and a creative invitation text, the little guests will be queuing up!AttentionIf you use rescue blankets as decoration, please only remove them from an already expired first aid kit.
3. How a living space becomes space
The birthday decoration is very important when you celebrate a children’s birthday at home. First of all, a lot of aluminum foil is needed. This allows all sorts of objects to be wrapped and made to shine. This can be the lamp above the dining table, the cake tray or a flower vase – there are of course no limits to the imagination.
If you glue some cardboard with aluminum foil and cut it into shape, you can easily make a rocket. Whether big or small , everyone can participate in the construction of rockets. With some effort you can also build a complicated round rocket yourself, instructions on this advanced form of rocket crafting can be found on the Internet. Such a birthday rocket can befilled with sweets or small gifts for the birthday child.
Rescue blankets (silver ones) commonly used in first aid kits help cover larger items, but they also give off practical tablecloths. If you want to make the living room or children’s room a bit more extraordinary, you can hang furniture such as the couch set or the cupboard wall with old white sheets. This gives the space a little spaceship atmosphere. From clay cardboard you can now make planets and hang them in the room.
You can also print space images to complement your space decoration or model an entire planetary system. It becomes particularly atmospheric when the room is in semi-darkness and is only illuminated by fairy lights or even better a light hose. For some time now, there have also been LED balloons that you can blow up and then use as a planet or spaceship decoration according to your taste. A light hose creates rocket flair and with the LED balloons the children feel the same as in foreign worlds.
4. Tasting the small space children
At a spacy party buffet, there are plenty of options for astronaut food. God’s food is always well received by children. Bumps and craters can be pushed into a round, icing-in-the-middle space cake to make it look like the moon. With the right shape also a rocket cakesucceeds. To complete this effect, it’s a great idea to let small Lego figures in spacesuits walk around on it.
Toast breads, vegetables and cheese stung in star form make space sandwiches, doughnuts and pinwheels can look like aliens and UFOs. To reinforce this impression, for example, toothpicks can be plugged in as antennas. It looks nicer when gummy bears (with doughnuts) and vegetable cubes (with the bulettes) are skewered on the toothpicks.
The popular mini pizzas also look a bit like UFOs.
5. Space costumes
Making a space costume yourself is not difficult. If you don’t have too many guests to dress up, you can make an astronaut costume yourself by putting children in a space suit in no time with a painter’s overall. They don’t cost much and turn every child into an astronaut without much effort.
In addition, the disguise has the positive side effect that the little party guests are guaranteed not to be able to get their normal clothes. Another variant is blue or black garbage bags, into which holes for the head and arms are cut. In addition, there are headgear made of aluminium foil. So dressed up are the children well prepared for the upcoming astronaut games.
6. Space games with children
In order to keep the little astronauts happy, birthday games are themed for a space party for children. Great games create atmosphere and the space games with children are also fun for adults. For example, you can make extraterrestrials or a spaceship outof clay cardboard. You can also design rockets and spaceships with a paint frame together with the children.
There are also ready-made motifs on other topics, try the catchphrase “Coloring Images Space”. Or extraterrestrials are painted by all the children together! Each child is given a piece of paper. When a child has finished the alien’s head, the leaf is bent so that it cannot be seen and passed on to the next child to paint the next part of the body. This is how very strange figures are created! A space quiz with questions about space is a little more elaborate in the preparation, but not only funny, but also instructive. Great games are also available on the internet and special space games can be found online when you run out of birthday party ideas.
Hosting a space party for children isn’t that complicated. Whether you’re building rockets, designing space costumes, or designing children’s birthday games for astronauts, you’ll involve your child in the planning and they’ll be thrilled with their space birthday. With the right birthday ideas, birthday games and chic birthday decorations, your theme party as an astronaut’s birthday is guaranteed a success!
