way to top cookies and cakes, pictured left. Another easy option is to
frost safari animal cupcakes. With patches of green frosting accents
and a Wilton Safari animal figurine to lick, kids will have a wild time.

place cards, pictured right. This idea comes from Wilton.

Wilton mold will be King in your kitchen for a wildly popular safari
party. In addition to making Jello, the pan will come in handy for the
cake, mold cheese spreads, candy shaped cookies, and more.
- Cheetah a bit on your diet. A party is supposed to be fun, go for the
Cheetos chips, which will guarantee orange tongues and smiles. Kiss
them with Hershey's hugs (Kisses striped like a zebra, pictured right).
And while you're at it, bake Zebra butter cookies (sugar cookies with
chocolate and vanilla stripes). Let your little one indulge in the lion's
share of cake, too.
- Serve lunch in Safari Animal Treat Boxes. Pack a safari lunch for an
expedition to the park: a sandwich, some chips, a small cookie and a
piece of fruit will make complete lunch on the go. Make it a happy meal
by including a small zoo animal toy in the box:

pull string pinata, pictured upper right at the top of the page, is ideal for the
younger set.
- Safari-gami! Craft a paper animal safari (Family fund shows you how to make a
crocodile, hippopotamus, lion and elephant from construction paper and glue).
Safari Origami is a Parent's Choice Award winner and includes printed paper and
stick on eyes.
- Send the kids on a Safari. Hide small plush safari animals in clear view, but hidden
well in the bush. Provide kids with toy binoculars or craft them from toilet paper
rolls and set them out to find animals as prizes using the binoculars. Kids may
only hunt for treasures using their binoculars to add a measure of authenticity
to the hunt. Alternatively, use your child's plush animals and small award prizes
in exchange for the successful hunt.
- Play Hide-and-Seek Safari: Hide a safari animal and give each child the
opportunity to find it giving only "hot" or "cold" clues. For high tech fun, play
Hide-and-Seek Safari, which includes a seeker wand to track down and catch
the elusive monkey, pictured right. Lights flash to show you're getting warmer
and the seeker will sound when the Monkey is near.
- Good Luck Hunting: Elephants are good luck. Hide mini elephants everywhere
and see who can collect the most luck. Award the lucky winner a prize.

African Safari Party
How to have an African safari themed birthday party for kids
If your little Lion King wants a party to remember, then set on an African safari with a
Serengeti inspired theme Thankfully, there is an abundance of safari themed toys
online and at the local party supply, so a hunting you will go... Take inspiration from
the cake figurines by Wilton, left, as the four staples of a safari party will include
elephants, lions, zebras and giraffes.
Setting the scene:
For the purist look, seek favors and decorations with animal prints, like the favor
purses, pictured right, including cheetah, tiger, zebra and giraffe prints.
- The little Wildebeests absolutely will love it if you top them with a safari hat,
known as a "pith," and a pair of binoculars. Add toy jeeps, you're ready for a
safari adventure.
- Get wild with design! Center the party around the animal your child most relates.
If he's tall for his age, stick to a mostly the giraffe theme. If he's a Leo, make a
Lion's den of the party. If she's horse crazy, concentrate on the Zebra. And if
your little one has a keen memory, head for elephants. You may find more
inspiration in our monkey party jungle party, and zoo party ideas.
- Inflate the fun by decorating with inflatables. Left, the inflatable elephant makes a
fun favor, and imagine their surprise when they see a 71-Inch Tall Zebra (5-foot
-9-inches). You'll also find a 71-inch tall giraffe among other inflatables below:
