Snake Birthday party
How to have a party for kids filled with snakes
Squiggling, wiggling, and coiling snakes abound at snake parties. And while the adults
may want to slither away, the kids will wriggle with laughter and excitement with
snakes for a birthday party theme. Don't let this party idea slither away with your
fears. You can have a festive time and educate kids about snakes.
So have at it! Snake our ideas to host the best ever snake filled birthday. Here's how:
Snake party Decorations
As kids parties go, a snake party theme is a relatively easy party to plan. Party favors
and supplies are abundant with the exception of snake party plates. Likely, party
manufacturers don't want to produce snake party plates because adults have a
natural aversion to snakes and they won't sell. No worries. You can decorate any
party plate with gummy snakes to enhance your theme.

Snake Party Invitations
Snake cakes
To prepare a snake cake, start by baking a few batches of your favorite cake in a
bundt pan. Form a large snake by dividing the cake in half (or in thirds) and forming a
snake as long as you like. Frost your cake to connect the pieces. Form a forked tongue
with fruit rollups. Here are more snake cake ideas:
Snake party foods
You can create a snake themed menu when you cleverly make forked tongues with
everything from pepperoni on a pizza dough snack, to a dessert made of fruit roll ups.

Snake Party Favors
Shopping for party favors will be relatively easy with the availability of rubber snakes
on the market. Look too for gummy snakes and even gummy worms, which could pass
as snake like. Another easy find is wooden snakes, though they may be more
expensive. You can find plastic snakes that behave like the classic wooden snakes,
right. Here are some other ideas:

Squiggling, wiggling, and coiling snakes abound at snake parties. And while the adults

fears. You can have a festive time and educate kids about snakes.
So have at it! Snake our ideas to host the best ever snake filled birthday. Here's how:
- Rake in the fake snakes: It wouldn't be a snake party without a few snakes lying
around, so gather up these fake snakes for your party:
- Inflatable snake: Decorate your party with the inflatable snake that doubles as a
party favor or prize. - Vinyl snakes: Rubbery coiled snakes are sure to please kids, especially the boys.
Classic wiggly snakes are available by the dozen, above, in a colorful variety. - Wooden wiggle snake: Fidget with this classic wooden wiggle snake. At 28-
inches, it might even look real. - Stack of snakes in a sack: The Melissa & Doug Sack of Snakes, above right, are a
rigid selection of snakes that are perfect for hiding in the rock garden of your
otherwise snake-free backyard. Dramatic markings and bright colors will excite
kids and add to the decor of the party. They're thick and sturdy. - Snakes favor pack. above, left.
- Sneaky snake trick. While you should never serve nuts to kids under five, there's
one exception: serve up the fun with the King Deluxe Mixed Nuts snake trick,
left. The old "snake in a can" trick is hard to pull off with adults, but kids will
enjoy the vintage style fun. Shake the can and pass to your unsuspecting party
guest who will hear the nuts (actually small beads). Three 20-inch snakes pop
up from the King Deluxe Mixed Nuts packaging when you pry the lid.
- Another snake trick is rattle snake eggs:

- Put out the mister, sister: If it's a hot day, a mister will help create a tropical rain
forest effect: ideal weather conditions for some rain forest snakes. Best of all,
some misters even look like snakes!

You can create a snake themed menu when you cleverly make forked tongues with
everything from pepperoni on a pizza dough snack, to a dessert made of fruit roll ups.
Here are our favorite party food ideas to serve up:
- Snake snacks:
- Sneak in some snake veggies with the adorable cucumber snake snack idea
from Family Fun, pictured left. Kids will enjoy eating their snake as they dip into
vegetables with hummus.
- Slithering snake juice: Rim a glass with a wedge of lime and green sparkling
sugars. Serve a lemon-lime soda with a drop of green food coloring, or sparkling
water with a dash of lime Italian syrup. Rim the glass with a gummy snake!
- Make a snake napkin ring from a pipe cleaner. Wrap a green pipe cleaner around
a rolled napkin, then bed the end up and glue two black beads for eyes. Finish
with a forked tongue made of red paper.
Snake Party Favors
Shopping for party favors will be relatively easy with the availability of rubber snakes
on the market. Look too for gummy snakes and even gummy worms, which could pass
as snake like. Another easy find is wooden snakes, though they may be more
expensive. You can find plastic snakes that behave like the classic wooden snakes,
right. Here are some other ideas:
- Rattlesnake eggs. This is a sort of trick or gag that will easily entertain the older
kids as they play pranks on friends and family. Give them a little instruction so
that they can surprise parents at pickup.
Snake Party Game Ideas
Goodness, gracious, snakes alive! Invite live entertainment for the party and you
won't need much in the way of games for your party. Even so, we thought we'd sneak
in a few snake game ideas as inspiration for your party:
- Hisss Snake Card Game: Playing this snake game is elementary! As each Hisss
snake slithers its way across the playing area, it introduces color identification
and visual logic to young children: Does it make sense to have a snake with two
tails and no head? Are those two colors the same or not? It's under ten bucks,
and is eligible for free super saver shipping. Best of all, it has more than 96
customer reviews with a near perfect 5-star rating!
- Pass the snake: Set music to play and have kids pass a wiggly rubber snake in a
"hot potato" fashion. Prizes: snakes of course! Make everyone a winner as they
exit the game with snake gummy candies* or a small snake favor.
