Hippy Party
How to have a groovy '60s or '70s theme birthday party for kids

It's time to get in touch with your inner being. Make a party and not war! Peace, love
and a hippy party is all you and the kids need. The little mod squad will love an
afternoon of flower power, making tie dye shirts, playing Twister, wearing peace
necklaces and mood rings, lounging in bean bags and grooving to the music of the
60s and 70s. Yes, this kids party idea rocks! Here's how to have a party that's out of
sight, yet within budget:

  • Don't shy from the Tie Dye. Sure, it's messy, but this is an activity and party
    favor in one, and kids will remember this experience for a lifetime. Their T-shirt
    will be a constant reminder of your funky and unusual party. The easiest
    solution is Alex Tie Dye Party, pictured right. In a pinch, you can tie dye with
    Kool-Aid. Start thinking about how you can tie dye your food:

  • Make peace with your budget. Kids will love crafting a God's Eye with yarn and
    Popsicle sticks or making friendship bracelets or Macrame. You might also tie
    dye an old white bed sheet for the tablecloth.

  • Food for thought. Skip the "Oregano" brownies... The kids will love sampling the
    oldies but goodies: Hostess Ding Dongs, Twinkies, Ho-Hos and Snowballs. If
    you're up for something home made try lemon bars and oatmeal cookies. For
    snacks, make it easy on yourself with Lipton onion soup mix and sour cream dip
    and chips. Add a few Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers and Triscuits. For lunch,
    it's grilled cheese sandwiches made with Wonder Bread and Velveeta. Serve up
    the Tang or Koolaid and some Jello. Have a few Space Sticks on hand, along
    with Missile pops and you're good to go for the era. Don't worry, the kids won't
    protest and all these foods are cheap.

  • Get flower powered! You can't get into the sixties funk without flower power.
    Here's how to make flower power balloons and more. Here's a table setting
    that's sure to please your little diva:

More ways to set the Scene for your Hippy Party

  • Make a groovy first impression: A beaded curtain entrance is an absolute must
    for a hippy party! You'll get one for under twenty bucks and the kids will love it.


  • Get thrifty. Start shopping thrift shops for vintage fun. Look for orange and
    chartreuse (lime green) plastic serving containers.

  • It makes perfect insense! Light incense as no self respecting hippy would be
    without the charm of this cleansing experience.

  • Picture perfect. Ask kids to share pictures of their parents or grandparents in the
    '60 or '70s. Kids won't believe what kids wore back then.
