Winter Party Ideas for Kids
Level up your Winter Party Game
Let’s take it inside… whether you have room enough in your home or you book a local hall or community centre, indoor parties have so much potential. From crafts and treasure hunts to getting creative with fairy lights and soft play structures, we’ve rounded up our top 10 winter party ideas to keep you entertained throughout the cooler months.
1. Winter Wonderland Disco
Shake off the chill with a groovy disco party! Kids can dance under the twinkling lights of a disco ball to their favorite tunes, compete for best dance moves, enjoy a spot of musical statues (age dependent), and if you choose to add some bubbles to the mix courtesy of Yabadoo watch them go crazy popping the biggest bubbles on the dance floor.
2. Aussie Animal Adventures
It’s a wild ride with Aussie animals as the theme! Teach kids about our native critters and their winter antics through fun stories, an educational scavenger hunt and hands-on crafts using natural materials. Perhaps have a side of face painting too with one of our trusty animal-loving entertainers on hand!
3. Eco-Friendly Craft Party
Unleash creativity with a crafting session where everything’s recycled. Not only pushing the importance of taking care of our planet, but also testing the realms of kids’ imaginations with what they can achieve with a cardboard box, newspaper, egg cartons, and old fabric, it will be so exciting to see what they come up with!
4. Pirate Treasure Hunt
Ahoy, Mateys! Ready for a treasure hunt? Our awesome pirate entertainers are on hook (or hand) to assist you at sea. Set up clues around your house or back garden (or the local park or hall), hand out some homemade maps, and let the kids embark on a pirate adventure scavenger hunt, searching for hidden treasures. For older kids why not up the ante and split them into groups to add a level of competition to the mix! Perhaps the team who find the most treasures get a special reward or get to pick the next game.
5. Magical Princess Slumber Party
Depending on the ages of the children, the slumber element can be optional… but why not invite the youngsters to don their favourite princess ensemble for some fairytale fun, storytelling, craft, beading and colouring. Finished with some princess movie magic and all hosted by one of our Princess entertainers as the real jewel in this party crown!
6. Superhero Training Camp
Have some aspiring heroes at home? Set up a superhero camp with fun obstacles and games that teach kids about helping others and protecting our planet. Why not call on our very own caped crusaders to come and lead the superhero action?!
7. Science Party
Combine fun and learning with simple science experiments. Kids can explore exciting projects like creating mini volcanoes, slime or watching crystals grow, sparking their curiosity about the natural world. We have a great slime recipe we’d love to come along and teach your littles if you’re in need of a professional Einstein!
8. Wonderful Wizarding Academy
Invite little wizards to learn spells and potions. Set up classrooms (or learning stations) and have them brew up magical, non-toxic potions with everyday ingredients, grab some melted dark chocolate, ice cream cones, biscuits and make some edible witch hats, and task them to draw their ideal petronus charm!
9. Jungle Gym Fun
Create a jungle-themed play area indoors with soft play climbing structures and swings. Kids can come dressed as their favourite animal, and you can get a Yabadoo face painter in to add some wild stripes, spots and fierce looks!
10. Sparkling Snow Bash
Turn up the chill factor with a dazzling fake snow party! Create a winter wonderland using eco-friendly fake snow that’s safe for both kids and the planet. Kids can don their winter woolens and enjoy frosty games like a snowball toss, make a snowman, make homemade frozen slurpees, and of course enjoy it all with a side of ice cream!
