Host the ultimate Jungle Birthday Party for your little adventurer!

Jungle Birthday party supplies are easily found with a little inspiration and effort.  Start out by thinking of your favorite parts of the jungle.  Is it the lush greenery, or is it the jungle wild animals that call it home.  Whether you are hosting a small party for a few friends or one that the neighbors will be talking about for years, the Jungle party theme will certainly delight everyone.

Décor

The décor can be one of the most important parts of any Jungle Birthday Party.  It can also be quick & easy or elaborate & over the top – the choice is yours.

If you want to make it quick & easy, group plants from your own home together in one or two rooms to make a lush jungle feeling.  You can add exotic looking silk flower that can be purchased at a craft store or dollar store to embellish the look.  A few strategically placed stuffed parrots or monkey pinatas are also a great idea.

Buy a green or blue table cloth and proclaim it the Amazon or Nile River.   Hang green streamers over the top of the party area to create the feeling of the jungle canopy.

Order a personalized Bindi the Jungle Girl Birthday Banner to hang behind the guest of honor.  For the boys there is the personalized Jungle Stripe Birthday banner.  Add Green Elephant balloons in amongst the plants or use them as a table centerpiece.

For those who take party planning to the next level, start out by heading to a local map shop.  Buy maps of Africa, South America, Central America & Asia.  Hang them on the wall & have color coordinated color dots indicating which exotic animals like lions, tigers, zebras, cobra snakes, elephants, monkeys, parrots and alligators live where (your guests may be surprised to learn that tigers don’t live in Africa).  If you have enough attendees, designate them into animal groups that can be used as their teams for games later in the day.  Look for some grass skirts at the local dollar store and sew them together to create a thatch hut roof or table skirt.

Again, group your larger or tropical plants together to make the “Jungle Safari” area.  Have an adult or two act as the Jungle guides who will guard the camp from the pride of lions that are certainly hiding just outside the camp area (arm them with a toy air rifle).  If you can, download the sounds of the jungle and have it playing on a loop on your iPod, MP3 player or home sound system.  If you are hosting a party outside, set up another area with tents for the Jungle Safari guests to stay in (what a great way to turn a Jungle Birthday party into a sleepover to remember!)

Food & Drinks

There are many ideas you can come up with for your Jungle Party menu.  Host a barbeque; have shish kabobs or cook a roast on a rotisserie. If you are hosting a party for younger children, host a wiener roast instead.  Add cut up veggies & dip and a fruit platter (think bananas, kiwi & mangos or other exotic fruits).   For dessert, serve Tiger Stripe ice cream with your birthday cake.  To compliment your cake add, add the Jungle Animal Cake Toppers.  The elephant, lion, zebra and giraffe can easily rest on top of the cake or be used as part of the decoration of a much more elaborate cake.

Create your very own Jungle Juice birthday punch for everyone to enjoy.  Simply mix equal parts of cranberry juice, pineapple juice and 7-Up or Sprite.  Just before serving, add one can of frozen pink lemonade.  If you want, you can create an adult version of the punch by adding some vodka.  Just remember to keep the two punch bowls far away from each other.

You could also whip up a bunch of Pina Coladas for guest to enjoy.  Is there anything more tropical than a drink with pineapple and coconut?  Serve with slices of fresh pineapple on the side of each glass.  Brightly colored cocktail umbrellas are always a hit too.

Jungle Costumes and Safari Costumes

For a summer party request the kids come in shorts and t-shirts.  Order Safari (Pith) hats for everyone to wear and

then take home.  You can do the same costume for an indoor party as well – just be prepared to notch up the thermostat a degree or two if necessary.  If you are a bit of a seamstress, head to the fabric store and look for some value priced animal print fabric.  Make headbands, wristbands or neck scarves (think bandanna style) for the guests to wear.

Safari Games

Well, there is always the old standby of “Pin the Tail on Something”.  Depending on the age of the guests, you can create a trivia game, where kids answer questions about the animals found in the jungle & how they live.  You can also do a scavenger hunt in your home or backyard and use items that are related to the Jungle theme like tropical (silk) flowers, pieces of mosquito netting, camp equipment etc.  If you need more of an indoor game, have the kids draw and/or color their favorite jungle animals and hang them up as more party décor or use safari and jungle wall decals to turn your room into an instant jungle.   Keep the entertainment light hearted & funny.

Tropical Invitations

Be creative with your wording.  The Jungle Birthday theme offers many options and it’s just a matter of how far you want to take the theme.  To keep in simple, just use the invitations in the Bindi the Jungle Girl party kit.

To make your own, find a photo of your child’s favorite jungle animal online.  Download it and use it as the front cover of the invitation.  Places like Staples have do-it-yourself invitation kits that are fun & easy.  Use wording like “Ready to Get Wild?” or “It’s Safari Saturday, Are You Brave Enough to Enter the Jungle?” or even “Tim’s 10th Birthday is Going to be a Wild One!”  Tailor the wording to the age of the birthday boy or girl and the guests that are attending.  You want to excite & intrigue them, not potentially frighten them.

For very young children, consider the King or Queen of the Jungle invitations.  Cute and easy, these invitations can be easily coordinated with your Jungle Party theme kit and let guests know that it will be a day of adventure.  Matching plates and napkins are also available so you won’t have to worry about doing a big clean up after the party.

To conclude, remember put up some jungle photos and play jungle animal sounds inside and outside to give the impression the animals are all around.  Some popular animals you would find in the safari or tropical jungle would be  jungle cats such as a lion or cheetah, ape, gorilla, monkey, alligator, parrot and cheetah.  Have a guest or one of the parents play the jungle guide to keep all the guests safe from the wild beasts they may see on the lion safari with their elephant gun (toy version of course).  Rent a movie like Madagascar, The Gods Must Be Crazy or Disney’s Tarzan and Jane and have it playing on a large screen TV in the background.  Make a colossal cupcake birthday cake and decorate it into an tropical island for the older guests and make smaller traditional cupcakes decorated to mimic floating rafts with various jungle animals on each one.  This will create a great table piece until the guests devour it after singing the Happy Birthday song.

Get some old tan rope to mimic the vines of the jungle and have Tarzan, Jane and some toy monkeys hanging from them to really make the theme explode.  For the ultimate party theme that can be carried through the year, have the birthday person wear their favorite jungle costume that can easily be worn during Halloween as well.  Learn the Tarzan yell history and do not forget to download and include the Tarzan yell MP3, your guests will certainly be joining in if they had to much tropical punch.  Put up some Amazon Rainforest and Africa maps will certainly add some great wall decor and give the older guests something to look at to see where the animals are from.  There are many jungle party supplies that you can add to really take the theme to the next level.  Have fun with this jungle theme as the options are endless!
