Animal Theme party

Choose animals from the farm, the jungle or the zoo for an Animal theme party.

Animal Party Invitations

Toddler birthday party invitations don't have to be elaborate. These animal invitations were ones I made using supplies from around the house.

For the frog invitation, I used a cookie cutter to create the outline of the frog on a piece of folded paper.

Then I painted them using a sponge dipped into watered down water paint. After the paint dried, the frogs were cut out and the party information added to the inside.

For more animal invitations check out our animal party supplies shop where you can find zoo animal invitations, jungle invitations and some fun animal theme decorations.

Animal Theme Party Decorations

Streamers and paper chains can be hung from the ceiling and doorways. Hang animal pictures or small animal toys from the streamers.

The party table can be decorated with place mats in the shape of your chosen theme animal. I use coloring books to trace shapes from! You can also draw animal shapes on the table cloth and paint them.

Animal Theme Games

Animal Tail Game

Supplies needed: crayons, a ball of yarn and identical containers with wide openings.

Give each child a tail by tying a long piece of yarn around their waist. Tie a crayon to the end of the tail. The tail should almost touch the floor.
Each child stands with the container behind them and tries to be the first to get the crayon into the container without using their hands.

Pin The Tail On The Bunny

Draw the back of a bunny on a large piece of paper. Draw a circle where the bunny tail should be. Draw similar circles on various colors of construction paper and cut them out. Write each toddlers name on a tail circle. Put a loop of sticky tape on the back of the tail. Blindfold the children one at a time and have them try to put the tail on the bunny. You could also use cotton balls for the tails.

Animal Theme Party Favors

Animal masks can be made from paper plates and construction paper. Use a wooden paint stir stick as a handle.

Animal Party Cake and Cupcakes

Shaped cake pans make creating animal cakes a breeze, but you can create many animal shapes without special pans. A round cake or cupcake can become a cat, bear, bunny or dog with just a few additional candies.
Use round candy disks for the eyes and vanilla wafer sized cookies for ears. Candy rope and pretzel sticks can be used for whiskers.
