Wild One bear adventure party theme

 

If there is one item in the house that is a constant inspiration for children’s celebrations, it’s the humble Teddy Bear. He’s been to casual picnics, Christenings in his bow tie, and first birthday’s on the arm of his best friend. But if there’s one party theme he really likes, it’s when he returns to the wild and gets back to nature.

This kids party theme is a lot of fun for kids who marvel at the great outdoors, camping or animals. We’ve focused on a more woodlands take on a bear kids party theme to follow on with some of the latest trends we’ve seen for a more modern wild take on a Bear party

 

 

This teepee setup featured in the Celebrating Little One’s magazine is also fantastic inspiration for this theme! See the whole setup in the magazine here.

Bear in the woods party decorations

Why stick to just Ted when there is a whole forest full of friends? Invite them all and take inspiration from the woodland surroundings with lots of green, brown, woodwork, camping inspired pieces and hints of metallic for a special touch.

Bear in the woods party tableware

Whilst Ted and friends love camping and getting a little wild in the woods, they still prefer eating off plates! Luckily there’s some pretty cool gear available from our LLC vendors that will keep the party and guests from turning too wild!

Bear in the woods favours

When it’s time for Ted and his friends to retreat from the wild, send them home with goodies in earthy packaging and keepsakes they can share with their own Ted at home.

And finally something for the birthday boy to wear and keep for fun dress up after the party!:

 

 

This is such a great fun theme, great for any age and interest! Invite guests to BYO Teddy and make it a wild day out in the woods.
