You probably thought planning your child’s birthday celebration outside would be a snap — until you sat down to make a list. First on the list may well have been to find an appropriate location. However, if you could use your own backyard or property, wouldn’t that be both easier and safer? With help from the team behind Buxton’s Backyard Structures, you can create the perfect setting for your next outdoor party, whether for adults or kids. The Buxton Complex has collected a few outdoor birthday party ideas to help you get started.
Outdoor Birthday Party Ideas for Kids
First of all, don’t forget the games! The Buxton Complex is a family-owned business and we’ve seen our share of birthday parties. Games and activities provide structure and can help channel that excited energy into peaceful, fun-loving interactions. Here are some favorites.
Play Simple Lawn Games
These can range from classic croquet to badminton, paddle games, and pickleball. Create game courts and play areas on driveways or the lawn. Frisbees and Nerf balls are always popular. You can also adapt items like pool floats, hula hoops, brightly colored sponges, and beach balls to create an obstacle course. Rope tug, sack races, hopscotch, jump rope, and other nostalgic games are also good choices.
Creative Expression Through Sidewalk Art
The driveway is a perfect canvas if there are no sidewalks bordering your yard. Brightly colored crayons and chalks that are safe for outdoor use provide loads of fun. Choose a theme from a favorite children’s book or movie. If your party has a particular theme, elaborate on it in drawings, pictures, and words. Be sure to notice and admire everyone’s contributions.
Blow Bubbles
While it’s fun to blow your own bubbles, automatic bubble blowers help maintain a festive mood and add an element of wonder and awe to the atmosphere. Available utensils and tools for creating bubbles are varied and kids don’t seem to get tired of this summertime pursuit.
Cool Off With Sprinklers
You can throw the best summer party ever by creating a beach atmosphere at your outdoor party with sprinklers and beach towels. Kids and adults can refresh themselves by running through the water, and then resume the fun work of playing games, eating snacks, and celebrating the birthday kid.
Playground Activities
Whether it’s for the next birthday party, or every day after school, providing swing sets and play sets means hours of exercise and fun. Parents and grandparents can offer security for the party and their kids when they have a playground set in the backyard. In addition, you can help reduce the chance of accidents by providing soft rubber mulch underneath the structures. We can supply recycled rubber mulch to use as a short-term party surface, or as a permanent addition to your backyard.
