Tinker garland yourself
This garland for the pool party for the children's birthday is made quickly, looks funny and fits perfectly with the topic. It represents colorful beach balls that are made from just a few materials. You need the following things:
- Polystyrene
- Craft color in red, blue and yellow (or other colors) - inquire about colors that can adhere to the styrofoam!
- Paint brush
- Pencil
- Painter crepe tape or paper tape
- Cord or yarn
- Hot glue gun
First, take the balls for the decoration. The balls probably have points at the top and below. You should first use this as a orientation as shown in the image above in order to divide the ball into six individual sections and to mark it with a pencil. Along these lines, stick the ball off. Once you have taped a section, you can paint it with the first color. While this is drying, simply continue with the next ball. The next section then remains white and the next one is colored in a different color. This also has to dry again, whereupon you leave a section free and paint the last one with the third colors. The first ball is already finished.
You can use the balls or some of them for the table decoration and on the table or make a garland from the remaining materials. To do this, simply stick the yarn on the balls with the help of the hot glue, designing about the same distance between the individual balls. Alternatively, the cord can also be pierced through the balls with a needle. Before and after each ball, however, a knot should be tied so that the styrofoam balls do not constantly slip. The garland is ready for the pool party!
Decorate with crafted fruits
These two craft ideas are made even faster and easier. Simply get paper cups or party hats in a yellow color for pineapple or in red for strawberries. Furthermore, you need colored paper or crepe paper in green, glue, scissors and felt pens in brown for the pineapple and in black for the strawberry with which you can record the patterns. Finally, cut out green leaves and stick them to the hat or cup. So you quickly get the perfect decorations for the party, which are also useful.
Water features for children's birthday
Water spenders, water slide, water gun, wet sponges to throw: These are just a few of the things that should not be missing at the pool party for the children's birthday and are guaranteed to be a lot of fun. Soap bubbles are also well suited to provide fun and look forward to children at all ages. In the following we have other pool party ideas for games:
Shoot the mug
A few cups, thick cord and water pistols and you can quickly and easily make a super fun game for the pool party for the children's birthday and prepare, where the children can compete against each other. The cups each get a hole in the floor through which the cord is threaded (one cup per cord). They then bind the fabric somewhere in the garden - for example between two trees or columns. After that, every child, the start, has to equip themselves with a pistol and the competition can start. The first thing to do is to get to transport your cup to the other side by water splash. It is best to put together teams or couples instead of letting everyone play at once. The winners of each opponent couple then compete against each other until only one winner is left.
Water bombs game - darts
Water bombs are not only suitable for throwing, but can also be used differently. If you would like to try another game with water bombs, darts is great. You need a large cork plate where you can attach the balloons filled with water with tears. Then set a litter line. A distance of 3 to 4.5 meters should be sufficient for children. From there, the children should now try to burst the balloons with darts. To make the game more exciting, you can also label them with digits for points and everyone has only a certain number of throws. The more water in the balloon, the easier it is to burst, which of course also means fewer points.
Water bombs play with “blind cow”
Blind cow are you as an idea for pool party games paralyzed? Certainly not this variant! Instead of simply letting water bombs throw together, tie their eyes to them beforehand. And only now can the throw be started. Be sure to make sure that there is enough space to play, not in the way and nobody can fall into the pool. After all, you do not want to risk any injuries at your pool party for the children's birthday.
Swimming pool games with water bombs
If your pool has a springboard, you can also choose this game. One child should jump into the pool. At the same time, however, a water bomb is also thrown towards him that the jumper has to catch before falling into the water. Sounds pretty simple, isn't it? But not if the water bomb shouldn't burst. The game works even without a springboard. Then the children have to jump forward and be careful not to slip away so as not to injure themselves.
Games in the water
If you are looking for water features for children who are played directly in the pool, there are numerous options. All dance games are suitable as pool games. How about if you play music and ask the children to dance, bounce and romp in the water. As soon as you stop the music, the children have to keep still. Anyone who moves as the last thing or who is finally losing their balance is ruled out. That also sounds easier than it is because you are moved by the water, whether you want or not.
Ball games can also be played in the water with the näig accessories. A volleyball network for pools, for example, can be obtained in advance. Or the children play basketball and use water bombs again instead of heavy basketball. Maybe you spontaneously remember an idea.
Ringing and swimming makes you hungry and thirsty. Drinks, snacks and food should not be missing at the pool party and should always be at hand. Everything that is healthy and refreshing is allowed.Children's punch or bowl, Lemonade or iced tea, for example, are very well received. Eis should of course not be missing and can alsobe self -made. Also offer snacks. So that they can be easily nibbled outdoors, you can put together portions in paper cups. Cookies, fruits, salt sticks and much more can be chosen. In the picture above you can see, for example, finished cookies that are simply decorated for the topic. So it doesn't even have to be baked if you lack the time for it. Also think of a Motto birthday cake!
