For a circus theme kids’ birthday party, you could create a mini-circus in your yard or nearby park. Start off by organizing personalized clown invitations that would make a huge impression on the minds of the young invitees to ensure they come to the event.

Alternately you could make invitations as big tops with flaps that open to reveal the invitation. Arrange for a real clown to be present. You could either hire or some family member could do the honors. Create a banner stating a slogan related to the theme, for instance – Greatest Show on Earth!

Set up personalized party banners wishing the birthday kid. Do up the place with streamers, balloons, stuffed animals, funny paper clown faces and organize festive music to be on through tapes or CDs. Fun games and activities that you could organize to make the event unforgettable would be to include circus oriented activities. These may be to hold circus parades, pin the clown’s nose, balloon stomp, tossing balls and rings, jump rope games, relay races and teaching simple juggling.

Other fun crafts ideas for a circus party that would keep the children happy would be to decorate birthday banner or giant card, paint a circus mural, make paper clown hats, face painting and so on. Other fun things would be to include magic tricks, yo-yo’s, jump ropes, punching balloons, whistles and animal crackers.

Finally fun foods for a circus party theme would go down well with popcorn, peanuts, clown cupcakes, animal cookies and a huge clown face birthday cake.
