How to Have a Clown Themed Kids' Birthday Party

Michelle M. Guilbeau
A clown theme kids' birthday party is one of the easiest types of kids birthday parties to pull off successfully because there is such an abundant availability of clown related items and materials.

There are so many fun things you can do with a clown birthday party theme and most kids really like clowns, finding great excitement with seeing anything clown related.

Here you will find some items of interest that will help to make a clown themed birthday party for kids a great success without a ton of stress on the adults. Let's face it, kids' birthday parties can be quite stressful and parents are looking for the least stressful ways to hold fun birthday parties for their children, having a themed party that has items that are easy to find and not too expensive may just make the birthday party planning a little easier.

Clown Birthday Party Treats

Simple cupcakes with a bright colored frosting such as red, blue or yellow is a great base. Then adding the small plastic clown heads that are specifically made for cake decorating will make the cupcakes professional looking and fun. The plastic clown heads can be purchased at the larger craft stores or discount retail chains, most likely the plastic clown heads can be found in the cake decorating section of the store and they are typically a reasonable price.

Clown Birthday Party Decorations

Lots of different colored balloons and streamers on display make for a really festive and circus type atmosphere. Balloons and streamers are reasonable in price and multiple colors of balloons and streamers interweaved makes the area of the birthday party very colorful.

Clown Birthday Party Games

One of my favorite games for a kids' birthday party is the Bozo buckets game. Simply line up 6 buckets in a row and make a line for the player to stand at, the player should start with the closest bucket and throw a ball in the bucket, ping pong balls work great. Each time the ball lands in the bucket, the player gets to throw the ball into the next bucket that is a little further away. If the player makes it all the way to bucket number six, then he or she gets a prize. Bozo buckets is perfect for a clown birthday party and kids just love the Bozo buckets.

Clown Birthday Party Entertainment

Hiring a professional clown to entertain at a kids' birthday party is the ultimate fun for kids. However, if it proves to be too expensive, an older teenager dressed as a clown who is good with kids may be up to the task if he or she is in need of some extra cash.

Clown themed kids' birthday parties are really lots of fun and there are so many creative things that can be done with a clown birthday party. The most important things to remember as a parent is to not get too stressed over a kids' birthday party, have fun and it is one day out of a year that the craziness takes place!
