15 Kids Party Themes to Try When They’re Over Minions
School‘s way out. And with your kids home for the summer, chances are that you hear “I’m bored” at least a couple times a day. To avoid getting burned out on the seemingly endless number of play dates and pool trips, why not keep your kids happy and occupied with a themed summer party? Not only will the party activities entertain them, but the personalized theme will give your little one the chance to share what they love with all of their friends. From vintage detective to carnival, here are 15 party themes that guarantee a celebration for all kiddos (and adults) to enjoy.
1. Angry Birds Party: Getting kids to embrace the outdoors rather than a tablet doesn’t have to be hard, especially when you introduce them to an outdoor version of the game they love. All you’ll need for a life-sized backyard game of Angry Birds is a few plushies, some cardboard boxes and a rubber ball! (via Kara’s Party Ideas)
2. Sailor Party: Photo booths are popular with most guests, especially when they incorporate kid-friendly DIY elements like that newspaper hat. Along with some backyard water games, this sailor party is sure to be a summer favorite. (via Diaper Style Memories)
3. Vintage Superhero Party: With the superhero craze at an all-time high, it’s about time to take a trip down memory lane back to where it all began — with comics! Featuring capes and skyscrapers galore, this vintage superhero party is, well, super. (via Anders Ruff Custom Designs)

8. Under the Sea Party: With Finding Dory coming out next year, there’s never been a better time to introduce young kids to the movie that started it all. A simple “under the sea” party theme is perfect for all ages, and you can even screen Finding Nemo as a part of it. (via Chickabug)
