Pokemon Party Theme

Ages: 5 to 12

Invitations:

Make a simple invitation by folding cardstock in half. Then trace a circle onto the paper so that part of the circle goes off the edge where the fold is (so that it will open like a card). Color it so that it looks like a Pokemon ball. Write the party information inside.

Decoration Ideas

Get streamers and balloons in primary colors. You should be able to find plenty of Pokeman themed items to decorate with. If your child has pokemon cards use clothes pins and string to hang some from the ceiling.

Craft Ideas

Provide the kids with craft items like googly eyes, popsicle sticks, paper towel tubes, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, markers, crayons, glitter and glue. Let them create their own pokemon or make one that looks like their favorite. If this is a bit too messy for you, provide the kids with play-dough and let them make a pokemon out of it.

Game Ideas

Make a bunch of small versions of the invites and write numbers on the inside that correlate with a small prize. Hide them throughout the party area and have the kids look for them.

Come up with a game that fits your child’s favorite pokemon. For example, Shroomish loves apples. You could have a bobbing for apples game. Meowth loves coins so you could hide some and have the guests look for them.

At the end of the party let the kids watch a Pokemon show and pretend play.

Food Ideas

Make a round cake look like a pokemon ball by icing one side white, the other side red and putting a piece of black licorice down the middle. You can also do this with cupcakes. Another idea is our Pokemon Explosion Birthday Cake.

You can make egg shaped jigglers in clear and red Jell-o.
