Kiddy pools provide entertainment for many different summer party themes.
Summer daycare can be difficult for children because they have to go to a school-like atmosphere while their friends get to play all day. Throwing special daycare parties helps break up the monotony of day-to-day life and provides children with exciting experiences. Regardless of the party theme, basic decorations and entertainment are necessary items. However, since most daycare children bring their own lunches, you only need to provide light refreshments. Does this Spark an idea?
Beach Party
Bring an ocean atmosphere to your daycare with a summer beach party. An invitation informing parents about the party date and required equipment, such as a bathing suit and towel, is vital to ensure every child can participate in the fun. Decorations can include sun-shaped paper garlands, seashell wall hangings, beach towel tablecloths and fish-themed paper dishware. Refreshments for the daycare beach party can include lemonade, fruit juice, sliced watermelon, fruit Popsicles, ice cream sandwiches and fish-shaped cheddar crackers.
Entertainment items can include water-filled kiddy pools, beach balls, sandcastle-building tools and water balloons. Games can include a seashell scavenger hunt, beach ball volleyball, water balloon wars and a crab-walk race. Craft activities can include sand art pictures, where each child sprinkles sand across glue lines on paper, and beach bottles, where each child fills a plastic bottle with sand and seashells.
Carnival Party
Gather some parent volunteers and throw a carnival-themed party to give daycare children the biggest thrill of their summer. Decorations can include colorful streamers and balloons on the walls, plastic flag garlands around each booth and clown-patterned paper dishware. Refreshments can include snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy, roasted peanuts, candy apples, fruit punch, lemonade and pink lemonade.
Entertainment booths for the carnival-themed daycare party can include beanbag toss, ring toss, ball toss, bottle knockdown, duck pond, prize fishing wall, Velcro dart throw, face painting and fortune telling. Carnival game prizes can include bouncy balls, silly putty, friendship bracelets, clown stickers, yo-yos, candy apple lollipops, foam hats and small stuffed animals.
Luau Party
Turn a plain playground into a tropical paradise for a luau-themed daycare party. Decorations can include inflatable palm trees, paper flower garlands, coconut wall hangings, unlit tiki torches and parrot-patterned paper dishware. Costumes can include paper flower leis and grass skirts for each child to help get them in the party mood. Refreshments can include pineapple spears, coconut cupcakes, fruit gummy fish, pineapple juice and tropical fruit punch.
Entertainment items for the luau party can include water-filled kiddy pools for wading, sandboxes for sandcastle building, Hula Hoops for hula contests and long sticks for limbo contests. Additional physical activities can include hula-dancing lessons, water balloon volleyball and a fish beanbag toss. Craft activities can include pine cone pineapples, where each child paints a pine cone and glues green paper leaves on top, and limbo poles, where each child paints a long stick and wraps it with decorative yarn.
