Science and Slime Birthday Party

Has your house been invaded by slime yet?

Ours has – multiple times! Thankfully I was worded up on a handy tip to use vinegar to remove it from any surface (including carpet), so the slippery, slimey fun can continue. It’s since sparked a wave of interest in science experiments and my kids have even been creating more slime at school…and bringing it home (*thank you…not*)!

A science and slime party theme is perfect for inquisitive school aged children, and we’ve found some great items to help pull it all together – and then watch an episode of Myth Busters or Operation Ouch! for some more inspiration!

 

 

 

Science and Slime Party Invitations

Give your guests an invitation to the mad science lab, complete with Bunsen burners, test tubes and slime!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science and Slime Party decorations

Pick your favourite coloured slime and go to town with weird and wonderful textures, shapes and props. You can find lots of things at home to use such as chalk boards and glass jars – just fill with water and food colouring for added effect! You can go with any colours for a slime or science party theme but we have included lots of green items for the typical slime/science party look:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science and Slime Party Tableware

A table amongst the madness set with coordinated slime coloured tableware will be enough to pull the little scientists away from the experiments long enough for cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science and Slime Party Cakes

A party isn’t a party without cake and a few treats, and in the spirit of a science experiment, why not make them in theme too, and see if they are still eaten…bet they are!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science and Slime Party Favours

If sending guests home with more slime, a good tips for parents is to have vinegar on hand to remove it from practically any surface – including carpet!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science and Slime Party Entertainment

Some things are sometimes best left to the experts, and out of the house! So consider a party entertainer that can supply all the equipment or a venue that doesn’t require you to clean up for the ultimate in messy science fun!

 

 

It’s so great to see kids interested and excited in science, so why not encourage it with a science and slime party. Mums and Dads might even enjoy it too!

 

Superhero Kids Party Supplies

There isn’t a kid I know who hasn’t marvelled at a Superhero and their incredible powers, and thanks to the talented folk at Pixar, Marvel, Disney and the like, Superheros have morphed beyond the traditional stereotypes, making them more appealing than ever to both boys and girls.

The best part? Superheros make great kids party themes!

 

Not only is a Superhero party a popular theme for kids, it’s also popular with parents as it’s super easy to pull together. Take inspiration from the Superhero stylists and go beyond the primary colours with girly pastels or monochrome black and white, and insert some comic book fun with speech bubbles, city landscapes and monograms to create something special – maybe even your own Superhero! We’ve also included some traditional red/blue/white superhero partyware in this blog for you if you love the classic look!

As always – the items showcased are all from our wonderful network members that are also listed in our Directory section of our website!

 

 

 

 

 

Superhero Party Invitations

KA-POW! Sending an invitation that packs a punch and makes a statement will have your guests washing their favourite costume and practicing their moves in preparation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Superhero party decorations

Bring your child’s favourite comic book or Superhero movie to life by creating a scene or colour and action using decorations in bold colours, black and white or the traditional costume colours of their hero, and go to town with adding accents of sound effects in speech bubbles, lightning bolts and catchy phrases everyone will be able to recognise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Superhero party tableware

GULP! YUM! Your table can be just as exciting (and easy) to decorate by continuing your colour theme and coordinating the tableware, or using these pieces to add some more punch to your theme with themed items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Superhero party cakes and desserts

If you’re avoiding using anything overtly branded but want to inject a little hero in your styling, your desserts and cake are a great way to do it. Cupcake toppers with logos, a show-stopping cake and colour coordinated treats are easy to source and make a great impact.

 

KA-POW!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Superhero themed party favours

Let the action continue well after the party by sending guests home with something sweet and a Superhero accessory they can play with long after the party is finished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Superhero party extras

Every Superhero needs a surprise or two in their capes! Add props, costumes or photo booths to your event for an event they won’t forget!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your little Superhero will love this party theme and you’ll be surprised by how easily it all comes together by focusing on a colour palette instead of sourcing licensed products. You’ll be guaranteed a good night’s sleep too after all the Superhero action of the day!

 

Adding pops of colour to your kids party!

When you have a colour scheme in mind and are looking for ways to highlight it in your kids party , Christening or baby shower – then using a variety of partyware can easily help bring your colour scheme to life!

Here are 3 simple way to add pops of colour using partyware from Design My Party which is a gorgeous online party boutique housing a range of stylish partyware and invitations for kids parties as well as other celebrations!

Tassel Garlands:

I love these swish decorations as they can easily show off gorgeous colours and make a table go from drab to fab…literally! You can also re-use them after the party in a nursery or bedroom! Here are a few of my favourite colour combinations from Design my Party  but they have even more in their store!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Balloons:

Balloons are one of the most on – trend ‘can’t miss it’ items at events and parties at the moment…! They are the quickest way to add huge pops of colour and impact into any party or celebration! I love these easy packs from Design my Party which already have sets of balloons combined to match a huge range of colour schemes-  and  you can add to these sets from the other balloons available in their online store.

Here are some of my favourite combinations:

 

 

 

 

 

Confetti:

Incorporating colour isn’t about only the big decor…it’s the little details too such as a cake topper, favour bags or…confetti!

Confetti is the perfect item to sprinkle around to add pops of colour to bring a colour scheme alive and add a bit of a fun feel to your table! Here are a few collections I loved from Design My Party:

Disco Party Supplies

Have you noticed how much harder it is to get creative with kid’s parties the older they get?

Much to my delight, the popular disco theme is making a comeback and is a popular choice for both parents and kids alike – either at home, Scout’s hall or purpose built party venue. They remind me of the school discos we loved attending as kids ourselves.

The best part? The inner stylist in us can still be let loose to decorate and style up a storm!

So here’s our finds for pulling together a stylish and fun-filled disco party with the help of a few of our LLC Vendors starting with of course the best disco kids party entertainment out there – Bop til you Drop!:

 

 

Here’s some fun disco party inspiration for you starting with this fun NYE setup which has a “disco” feel to it and elements you could definitely translate into a disco theme! You can see the whole setup here in our magazine:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disco party invitations

This is a great theme for all age groups, even right up to early teens. From simple designs to more personalised invitations, there’s a style to suit all tastes – just like the music!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disco Party decorations

It goes without saying that every disco needs a disco ball, right? But who said we should stop at one bright and shiny object!

Go to town with decorating your space with lots of silver, iridescent colours, and balloons for a modern take on Saturday Night Fever.

Lastly – something memorable for the birthday girl or boy – a ceramic guest ’tile’ for their friends to sign which can be customised to theme theme and colours!:

 

 

Now all that’s left to do is dig out those sequin flares and get your boogey on!
