Polka Dot Theme Birthday Party
Ages: 1 to 3
Invitations:
 Polka
Dot invitations are the easiest to make because of the wide
variety of polka dot print papers available. Almost every
scrapbook collection includes a polka dot prints. Look at our easy
polka dotted birthday invitations created using scrapbook paper.
For non-paper invitations, one of the cutest idea is our edible
M&Ms invitation. Be creative and use decorative marbles, round
stickers etc. on anything that can carry an invitation.
Decoration Ideas
Use stencils or wall decals to create dots of different sizes and
colors on the walls. Either do the walls or the table and other
furniture. Doing both will be over-doing it. Spread a cheerful
colored tablecloth with a polka dot border or place polka dot mats
on the table. You can also go for a polka dot runner and napkins
instead. Draw dots on balloons using a marker pen. For a quick
centerpiece stick cut-out circles to cocktail sticks of varying
heights and place them in a vase. You can also paint styrofoam
balls and insert sticks in them and arrange in vases.
Craft Ideas
Provide toddlers with cut out circles and give them
paper and glue and let them stick the circles wherever they wish.
For kids aged 3, you can hand them punches to punch out their
circles and have them make flowers on a sheet of paper.
They can also decorate plain party hats with circle
cut outs to make their own polka dot hats.
Game Ideas
Polka Dance: Place a large round mat and ask
all the kids to stand within it. Start the music and ask the kids
to dance. Those who step outside the mat are out of the game.
Colored Bubbles: Add colors to bubble
solution and let the kids blow colored bubbles.
Food
Ideas
Decorate any cake with rolled fondant circles to make a polka dot
cake. If you have time, try doing a 'stacked boxes' cake with
icing polka dots on it. Decorate cupcakes and cookies with round
shaped sprinkles. Serve sandwiches cut with a circle cutter. Serve
fruits made into tiny balls using a melon-baller.
