SpongeBob Kid
Party Ideas for Icebreaker Activities
*SpongeBob
UNO Cards: You can have the kids play a bit of UNO, but there
are even better kid party ideas for cards, such as having them build
card houses with these cool SpongeBob cards and having a contest to
see who can build the tallest card house. Card-flicking to see who
can flick a card the farthest.
*Make SpongeBobs!
This is one of the coolest kid party ideas for a SpongeBob icebreaker
activity… Get a bunch of regular-sized yellow sponges, yellow
and white pipe cleaner (for the legs and arms). Have some markers,
craft paint, glue, white paper, brown paper, red paper for the tie,
and have the kids create their own SpongBobs.
*SpongeBob
painting: Get a bunch of sponges and let the kids dab them
into paint and then on paper to make all kinds of designs. You can
also use this ready-made set of paints and sponges.
*SpongeBob
in a Bottle: Each kid gets a baby food jar (or any other little
jar or clear water bottle for that matter). They then add small sea
beads, glitter, water, baby oil and blue food coloring to create their
own ocean. Then for the finale, you can print out many small SpongeBobs,
laminate them, and have the kids put them into their oceans (hot-glue
the tops on so the ocean doesn't spill on your floor…). This
is one of the best kid party ideas for make-your-own favors.
*Balloon Octopuses:
Draw an octopus body (draw it so that it looks like a sun with 8 tentacles)
on paper and make many copies of this. Then have the kids cut them
out and decorate them with markers, glitter, stickers etc. Punch holes
in the center and inflate small balloons to put their tips in the
holes, securing them to the back of the body with tape. Let the kids
draw faces on the balloons with permanent markers.
*Tropical Fish
Windchime activity: Here's a great fish windchime activity to
get the kids into the under-the-sea mood and also something cool to
take as a favor, show the parents and hang at home.
*Sealife
Beading Kit: This is also a great activity that kids will
enjoy decorating themselves and taking home as favors.
SpongeBob Kid
Party Ideas for Food:
Here
are some kid party ideas for your SpongeBob birthday party cuisine.
Remember to put small signs on each dish just to make sure everyone
understands that they are munching on real SpongeBob food:
*Mr. Krabs Patties
(hamburgers)
*Mrs. Puff fish sticks
*Seaweed pasta (Green linguine)
*Squidward-dogs (Hotdogs that look like tiny octopuses. Cut all the
hotdogs in half - but not all the way - only so that they open. Then
slice halfway up four times on each half so that you have eight dangling
sections and place in boiling water. Watch them curl up like arms!!!)
*Gary's Submarines (Subs!! you can make this a buffet where everyone
makes their own subs)
*Plankton pizza (mini bagel bite pizzas)
*Sandy Cheeks pasta shells
*Tuna Casserole
*Popcorn Shrimp with Shrimp dip
*Seanut and Jellyfish sandwiches (Peanut Butter and jelly-fish)
*Surfer-girl squirrel pal fries
*SpongeBob fruit salad (Make a fruit salad and put it in a hollowed-out
pineapple just like SpongeBob's pineapple house. This is a great centerpiece
and a healthy snack!
*Worms in a blanket (Slice hot dogs lengthwise several times and cut
cheese into many strips. Then, unroll croissants and stuff them with
the hot dog and cheese strips (worms). Roll the croissants back up
and bake as directed (or until golden brown). The kids will squirm
with delight when they taste!!)
SpongeBob Kid
Party Ideas for Drinks:
*SpongeBob
Ocean Slushy - Mix 3 cups of ice, 3 cups of blue sports drink or punch,
and 3 large scoops vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt in a blender.
Whirl until smooth and serve (place the shake in the freezer for a
thicker shake).
*Blue Punch (Put gummy fishes or gummy sharks inside. You can also
freeze the gummy fish and sharks in cubes of ice)
*Pop Rock Punch (This is another variation of the Blue Punch. After
you've placed a filled glass in front of each guest, add some seaweed
dust (a few Pop Rocks candies) to each cup. It will then crackle,
pop, and split when it comes into contact with the liquid.
*Jelly-fish liquid (pink lemonade)
SpongeBob Kid
Party Ideas for Treats:
*Here's
a great treat! A
SpongeBob Squarepants snowcone maker!
*SpongeBob cheese snacks (and more SpongeBob treats most likely found
at large supermarkets)
*Goldfish crackers
*Gary's Snack mix (combine all kinds of nuts and pretzels)
*Blueberry Jell-O (After making the Jell-O, refrigerate and let it
partially set. Then put gummy fish and gummy sharks inside. When the
Jell-O is ready, top each cup with a thin layer of 'sea foam' (cool
whip) and some more gummy life preservers.)
*Bowls full of gummy fish and gummy sharks
*Dole Pineapple Fish (You can find them pre-cut in the can)
*Shell-Shaped Chocolates
*SpongeBob jelly pops
Tip: Put some
of the treats in little beach pails with shovels in them.
SpongeBob Kid
Party Ideas for Favors
You
can create your own favor packs using sand pails. Stuff them with
all kinds of SpongeBob accessories, such as these soak and grow SpongeBob
spongies, fish squirts, shell necklaces, beanie type sea animals,
little watercolor sets,
stickers, sea life bubble bottles, jelly bracelets, gummy
fish, gummy sharks, fish trinkets, etc.
You can also give
each kid one or two REAL goldfish in a plastic bag with water. And
don't forget to put a sponge inside and give the kids some fish food
also. This is one of those kid party ideas that the kids always love!!
