How to have a dolphin theme birthday party for kids
You'll have a whale of a time hosting a dolphin party for the kids. And they'll flip out
when they see all the FIN-tastic dolphin birthday party supplies you pulled together.
The "porpoise" of this party theme is to have fun and that's just what you'll have
when you consider our dolphin party ideas for a memorable birthday:
- Dolphin birthday cake: Borrow Wilton's dolphin birthday cake idea, left, and
create dolphin cookies on a stick then have them float on an ocean of blue
icing. Or use the dolphin lollipops, immediate left. Below you'll find more
dolphin birthday cake ideas, including dolphin sugars to put on cupcakes and
cookies, and mini dolphin sprinkles for cupcakes and ice cream. Want to bake
your own dolphin cake? We've got the cake pan! Use it also to mold dolphin
shaped gelatin with blue raspberry Jello. See more dolphin themed party
foods below.
- Make a huge impression: As a focal point for the party, get the birthday kid the
huge dolphin, pictured right. It's nearly four feet long and ready for a picture
perfect party. Have guests pose with the dolphin, then send the pictures with
the thank you cards. Currently at $26.93, the Melissa & Doug Plush Stuffed
Dolphin ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping. It's a decoration and a toy!
- Make an ocean of balloons: Get your underwater theme started by creating a
sea of balloons in different shades of blue and green. For these balloons, use
a bicycle pump. Then float some helium mylar dolphin balloons -- there are
plenty available to help you accent the ocean starting with the dolphin
balloons top left. Look for pink and silver varieties as well.
- Get cooking with our ocean blue party food ideas. Cool drinks get cooler when
you mix just a hint of blue food coloring to water and pour into the dolphin ice
cube tray, pictured right. If you're serving lemonade the blue waters turn
green as the ice melts for a fun aquatic effect. See more dolphin themed party
food ideas below.
- Make it movie night with Dolphin Tale: Get the kids their own plush dolphin toy,
inexpensive by the dozen, then play the movie Dolphin Tale. Inspired by a true
story, Dolphin Tale is about courage, ingenuity, and never giving up.
Setting the scene for a dolphin-tastic time:
Dolphin themed parties are best at the beach or pool, but you can create an ocean
theme at home too with just a splash of dolphin decor and accessories.
- Make it a splash with inflatables! You can inflate the tun for your dolphin theme
with inflatables. They'll create visual interest for the party as decor, plus they'll
serve as party favors and entertainment. Check out these inflatable ideas:
- Inflatable dolphin decorations: Blow up dolphin inflatables for the party. Left,
the inflatable dolphins, will really help carry your theme when you hang float
them around the party, and they double as party favors! - Inflatable dolphin game: Upper right, you'll find the dolphin inflatable ring game.
It's just as much fun as a pool toss game as it is on the lawn. - Inflatable dolphin pool toy: Here's another idea we'll float by you: a dolphin pool
toy! Right, the dolphin ride on inflatable will provide a fun accent for your pool
party. It has handles and includes a repair kit. It's only around $9 and it's
eligble for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25. You've got to love
Amazon for bringing you these dolphin theme items that are hard to find at
your local stores at great prices to boot.
- Top the birthday kid with a fin-tastic hat! The dolphin hat, immediate right can
go a long way towards supporting your theme. Have Dad can wear the hat
while announcing dolphin safe activities in the water if you're hosting a pool
party. The hat makes a funny prize or favor as well.
- Dolphin mylar balloon. Mix dolphin balloons with blue latex balloons into
bouquets, then create an ocean sea floor by taping balloons on the floor
throughout the party. Just remember that latex balloons are choking hazards
and you should avoid this decoration idea for parties that will have children in
attendance that are three and under.
Dolphin invitations and thank you cards
You'll have to create your own dolphin invitations for the party. Try giving the
Realistic Dolphins stickers booklet by Dover. They'd be ideal as a party favor, and as
an invitation you can include them in a small envelope with wording for your party:
- Dolphin party invitations and wording ideas:
- You're invited to a fin-tastic pool party
- It's time to swim and dive, Jake is turning five!*
- Show times: Saturday, August 22 at 2:00 p.m.
- Dolphin cove: 123 main street
- RSVP: Trainers at 867-5309
Dolphin party favors
- The little squirts will appreciate the colorful dolphin squirt guns top.
- Immediate left, the dolphin lollipops will swim to kids lips.
- Dolphin Color a Pal, upper right, makes a great gift
Dolphin themed food
- Dolphin themed drink idea: Rim party drinks with lime and dip in blue sugar.
Chill party drinks with a dash of blue food color to create swimming dolphin ice
cubes. Choose a clear lemon lime soda and the blue ice cubes will leave a trail
of color as the dolphins swim in the glass. Look for pretty blue striped straws
and vintage-style swirled lollipops in pretty shades of blue.
Dolphin cakes and cupcakes
Want to create dolphin cakes and party foods that will help them doing back flips?
Here are some ideas to get you started.
- On the menu: dolphin safe tuna sandwiches? Sure, you could serve tuna
sandwiches or fish sticks for a dolphin party, but only do it if chicken of the sea
is king with the honoree. A party is supposed to be fun, so serve up the party
foods she likes best whether it's pizza, burgers, or hot dogs.
- Create a "dol-fun" food with party picks. Use them as decoration for
sandwiches.
- The Dolphin pan, pictured left, is a rare find. Most dolphin cakes are only part
of the underwater theme, as with the adorable Wilton cake, upper right. An
easy cake option is the edible image, right. Just buy a sheet cake and lay the
image on top. It melts into the frosting. Dolphin fish sprinkles
Dolphin fun and games:
- Present kids at the party with a dolphin inflatable or dolphin plush toy, then
print "adopt a dolphin" papers and have kids sign the papers.
- Autograph Dolphin: Have all the kids sign and color the dolphin pillow, pictured
above right, to provide the birthday kid with a special memory of the day.
- Dolphin Water toy: Pull the string and watch your Dolphin Micro go:Rainbow
Reef Dolphin Micro.
- Plunge into the realm of wild dolphins: Set your DVD to continual play with
Dolphins, where you'll experience the warm, white sand banks of the
Bahamas where the inquisitive dolphins live and play. Narrated by Pierce
Brosnan with music by Sting this is a documentary.
- Go buy the book: "Everything Dolphin: What Kids Really Want to Know about
Dolphins," by Marti Crisp is an excellent reference and conversation piece for
your party. Toss it around the party and have party goers interject fun facts
they discover.
- Hey, we also have Miami dolphin party ware.
