Want a party that doesn't bite? Have an alligator themed party for your little crocodile
hunter! An alligator theme party makes a terrific pool party or backyard birthday

Bindi will think it's a cool party idea too, so don't leave out the girls, mate!

find plenty of alligator toys and games online, like the funny Crocodile Dentist game,
top right. It's not as tough as it might seem to shop online for alligator gifts and
alligator party supplies. Just start your shopping early and you'll have a party to
remember for years to come.

Games and activities
Alligator party invitations
Box an alligator figurine along with your party information in an empty toilet paper or
paper towel roll you paint green. You can mail the tube or hand deliver. On the
outside of the makeshift box, write "Fragile: handle with care" to add to the intrigue.
The kids will love opening their mini present and will revel in anticipation of the party.

remember for years to come.
Consider these alligator and crocodile novelties and ideas for your party:
- Welcome guests with "Crocodile Daddy." If your party is outdoors, you can have
daddy or an uncle play the part of a crocodile chasing kids with his arms This
free form game instantly carries the theme to get party goers in the mood.
- Set up an alligator wrestling photo opportunity. Short of having a real crocodile at
your party, choose an Alligator inflatable, or a crocodile party pool, pictured
lower right. If you really want to impress guests, get the inflatable crocodile,
pictured left. It's 69-inches, and will be the hit of the party even if your birthday
isn't in the pool. Party goers can play out the fantasy by wrestling the crocodile.
And everyone will want to have turns on the ride-a-crocodile costume, pictured
right. These inflatables make wonderful photo opportunities. Try enclosing a
picture of your crocodile wrestling guests with your THANK YOU notes. (Plush
crocodiles will work too. ) You can also inflate the fun with an alligator ring toss
game, also pictured left.
- Get Crikey, mates! Another must have for your party is a Steve Irwin action set.
Place the mini Crocodile Hunter figurines on the cake table for display, then give
them as a gift to the birthday kid. (Hint: Give the set after the party or the
birthday kid won't "allow" you to use it as decoration.)
- Craft a clothespin croc. Entertain the kids with an art project or make a cute
favor bag accent with this sweet crocodile clothespin craft. Start with a wooden
clothespin, paint it green, attach wiggle eyes and paper teeth. It's super easy.
Another variation on the Popsicle stick clothespin crocodile.
- Invite a reptile pal! Party entertainers may be available in your area to interact
with kids with live animals. Herpetology is the science of reptiles and
amphibians. Find your local Herpetological Society (just search Google) to get
their suggestions for handlers. Ask around. You may have a friend who has an
interesting reptile pet to borrow for the party. If you're ready to adopt a pet, a
Bearded Dragon would make a memorable gift for this party theme.
- Serve up the swamp juice and cake.
- For an alligator or crocodile party, it's no doubt that everyone will chomp
up the cake. Search both Alligator cake and Crocodile cake on Google for
cake design inspiration. For an easy birthday dessert, top cupcakes with
Alligator gummy candies, pictured right, or an alligator figurine. - Make a yummy swamp juice by mixing lime sherbet with lemon-lime soda.
It makes an exciting green foamed concoction that kids can't resist. Slip a
few gummy crocodiles on top and your swamp is complete. Remember to
serve up the green GATORade for your alligator themed party, too!
- Read Lyle, Lyle Crocodile! Choose any of the Lyle Crocodile beloved books by
Bernard Waber for story time to read just after cake and before presents.
Published in 1966, "Lyle and the Birthday Party," pictured left, is super option
for the birthday kid to read by himself. This classic book was a part of the
Weekly Reader Children's Book Club Presents. Buy the classic book on Amazon
or ask your local librarian.
- C-rock out! Add a little Elton John Crocodile Rock to your party and the kids will
be in a festive mood. (You'll please the adults.) Use the song for a freeze dance
or musical chairs, or just set your MP3 as background music. They're around .99-
cents on Amazon. Other songs to include in the party mix: Theme from
Crocodile Dundee (featuring Peter Best). The Crocodile Shoes by Jimmy Nail,
Never Smile at a Crocodile and Crocodiles and Rainbows both by Kathy Williams.
Games and activities
- Crocodile hunt. You've probably already thought party can have a hunt for
alligators and crocodiles. You'll find plenty of small crocodiles by Papo, Schleich
and Safari Ltd. You might also have a puppet show featuring the Folkmanis
plush crocodile.
- Turn your backyard into a swamp. With the Jumbo Jungle Animals crocodile pool
your guests can splish and splash and you can stash some tiny crocodile
treasures for them to find. Or you can take an ordinary wading pool and add
some floating crocodile toys for decoration.
