Party with unicorns

What’s a party without a unicorn? Yes, we’re not crazy, now the birthday kid and all his friends can ride on the back of this fantastic creature. How? Well, it’s very easy! All you have to do is order a pony and add some accessories, a colourful wig and a horn. Everyone can ride a unicorn, take a picture and feel like they’re in a magical world!

You can set the table with rainbow colours and colourful drinks, such as strawberry water. Don’t forget to add rainbows, a unicorn-shaped piñata, a cake with a big horn and workshops for the little ones to colour in pictures of this outlandish animal, which is now so popular.

Pirate Party

Earth is on course! A pirate themed birthday party should include a treasure hunt, lots of creative games such as a pirate sea battle, and pirate food like cookies in chests.

Kids can tie scarves over one eye, make temporary tattoos, find costumes, hats, chokers and stuffed parrots to pose for a photo shoot and have their photographs from this day. And don’t forget to create original invitations and put them in a bottle!

Paw Patrol Party

If there was ever an animated series that made a real splash among children’s audiences, it is undoubtedly “Paw Patrol,” and we’re sure you know what we’re talking about! Because there are no kids today who have not been familiar with these characters since they were little.

Kids will find themselves in a room with all sorts of items and decorations that relate to this patrol of eight pups: Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Rocky, Zuma, Skye, Everest, Tracker, Ella and Tuck, all led by a boy named Ryder. It’s very simple: use the basic colors from these series when you choose your balloons (red, yellow and blue).

How about serving food in bowls as if they were real dog food and water bowls? Kids will be more excited than ever to enjoy cookies shaped like a paw print or a bone.

Hello Kitty Birthday Party

It is easy to create the world of Hello Kitty at a birthday party.

Your allies will be balloons, garlands and photo wallpaper, which, of course, should be have pink and white colors and also some pictures of this kitty. Also do not forget about cutlery, plates, glasses and tablecloths, all of them should have an illustration of this funny kitty.

And don’t forget the cake! Prepare a dessert with an image of Hello Kitty.

Disney Party

This is a very diverse theme because there are many Disney characters, so the best thing to do is to have a party based on their favorite Disney movie theme.

How? There are so many options to choose from: Minnie and Mickey Mouse, Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Cinderella, Tangled, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, Pinocchio, 101 Dalmatians, Pocahontas, Aladdin, Tarzan…

Barbie party

Who hasn’t spent their childhood with this doll? Even the oldest children love Barbie!

For a birthday party in this theme, you can set up a mini spa where they can play and relax, as well as set up a podium, make-up counter, manicure... And don’t forget that pink colour should be everywhere!

And we’ll tell you how to surprise everyone with a very original photo shoot: prepare a giant doll box. Everyone can get inside, as if you were that doll.

Cowboys and cowgirls party

This theme can be used if you are inviting boys and girls to the party, the main thing is to decorate the stage in the style of the Wild West.

The venue will be a scene of endless cowboy and Native American adventures and chases! Simply bring along country music, a mechanical bull, cowboys and landscapes typical of western films…

Also as a decoration for an American Wild West style party, you can make a frame template with “Wanted” written on it and use it for the photo shoot, dressed up in cowboy costumes, and get many cowboy hats and boots.

Pajama party

Don’t panic, a pyjama party doesn’t mean all the kids have to stay at your house overnight.

Just invite everyone to come in their pyjamas, put on an interesting cartoon and prepare some popcorn and snacks.

We’re sure there will be plenty of kids and toddlers who will love the idea of being amongst the many cushions with their friends, jumping around with them. And ask your parents to take them out before going to bed!

But what can be given as a gift to a child turning 6 years old?

At this age, children are constantly learning and developing their social, physical and intellectual skills, so it is a good idea to give them toys or games for children to develop their skills.

If your child loves arts and crafts, you can give him or her paints, markers, pencils, crayons and chalk, notepads, drawing paper and colouring books, as well as beads, mosaics, leather goods, sewing kits…

Simple strategy games, word games, matching and spelling games, puzzles, video games, kits for young scientists or a microscope can also help to develop logical skills.

If your child loves cars and motorbikes, give them small collector cars and trucks, as well as realistic scale sets with functional parts, train sets or simple remote-controlled cars.

If the child likes to build, present a large set of blocks or bricks or complex construction sets of wood, plastic or metal, and if she likes dolls, princesses, plush toys, costumes, cosmetics or kitchen sets are sure to come to her liking.

Besides, if your child is very active, you can always present to him or her a bicycle, roller skates, ping-pong and rackets, a basketball with a basket, a hockey team… Just find out what his favourite sport is!

We’re sure that once you’ve given any of these gifts and organised one of these themed parties we’ve told you about, you’ll be a super parent!
