I am doing a Safari/Jungle 1st birthday and need ideas...
Since we are having the party at the park I need ideas for food, cold food.
Also any ideas out there for decor, games, anything will help
TIA!
Re: I am doing a Safari/Jungle 1st birthday and need ideas...
How about...
Safari hats for the kids. Have jungle/animal sound music playing. Serve the food on large leaf shaped placemats, bright colored bowls, use a coconut/pineapple for a centerpiece with a few flowers in it. Theme each table to an animal; a lion, monkey, hippo, tiger, parrot.
We did a survivor/jungle themed baby shower and had decorated animal cookies as favors. Those would be cute as a favor or as a desert option, especially for the kids. I think we used a monkey, lion, frog... it was a varied cookie cutter set and had some fun ones in there!
I like the pineapple idea and you could also serve pineapple either on skewers with teriyaki(sp) marinated chicken or do a jungle themed fruit salad with pineapple, mango, and some other colorful melons.
My friend did a jungle themed nursery and I found a ton of stuff for her at target in the dollar section. I know what they have varies... but it was right around spring time when I found the stuff. There were cute things like monkey notepads. I'm sure oriental trading would have a ton of stuff as well.
This sounds wonderful! You could serve drinks in coconuts as well.
banana-y foods for the little monkeys. banana splits, banana cream pie
barrel of monkeys is a cheap way to get monkeys that will hang on the side of the cups for the grown ups.
i like the animal crackers or animal cookies idea.
we did a dora theme one year and got the kids the straw hat/binocular set from Oriental Trading - HUGE hit!
A scavenger hunt would be fun! I have also seen cute blow up monkeys @ the party store to hang from the trees...
