The Batman logo is such a breeze to make, you can easily DIY a lot of the little effects at your child’s party, personalizing it to them in a unique way.  If you have a large venue area and some pop-up tents, you can create a miniature Gotham City for the kids to play in, poster board can be crafted around the tents with the city drawn on them. You could also put the poster board building artwork on the walls, making the room look like it is inside Gotham City.  Use the dark colors for your table cloths to create a darker imagery.  Bundles of balloons can fill the room up too, giving it a cozy feeling.

For fun foods that blend well with a Batman theme, try raisins on a peanut butter and celery log, you can call them Bats on a Log!  If you have a Batman logo jello mold you can make fun jello treats. Of course finger foods are best for your superhero to keep his Batman ensemble from getting dirty! Pigs in a Blanket, mini-deli sandwiches and a fruit and veggie tray all work well and you can come up with epic names for each that showcase your Batman theme splendidly.  Turn a two-tiered round cake into a Batman silhouette for a memorable dessert option.  You could also create a sheet cake with Gotham City and include some of Batman’s other pals like Robin.

For some action-packed Batman excitement, have your guests all wear fun capes and set up a picture of your child’s favorite villain. Then, give out silly string and let everyone save the day! Although a bit messy, it is sure to be a win. Another great activity is to have a Batman pinata and have everyone take turns swinging for the delicious treats inside.

A favorite parting gift for Batman parties is either a mini flashlight, or a standard size with a Batman sticker on the end.  When they turn it on, suddenly it is a beacon calling for their favorite superhero!  Another fun memento would be to fill up little Batman pails with accessories or candies, letting everyone enjoy a special treat.

For colors, you can use brown and green emphasizing the deep tones of nature.  You can also incorporate yellow with bananas to bring a bright touch in.  Hanging green streamers, or garland/vines overhead in the venue area will create a warm and cozy atmosphere with a wild element. You could even dangle some monkeys from them to add some fun. For a personal decoration creating wild frames with poster board to go around the birthday child’s pictures gives a fantastic and unique option for spicing up the party.  You can string the pictures along a clothesline and hang with ribbon or clothespins.  This would be a fun theme to have a photo op set-up for everyone to pose in. You can make tree branches with monkeys or hang monkeys from an actual tree to create the wild adventuring look.

Monkey Birthday theme treats and snacks include bananas in any form, banana slices, pudding, add a little peanut butter and you can even have banana sandwiches!  Create a fruit platter with a tree by putting pineapples on top of each other, add some leaves and top with a monkey! This makes a lovely centerpiece that you can surround with fruits of any kind to add bright color.  A tiered cake opens up a large variety of decorating options that you can top with a monkey or a banana to really blend with the theme perfectly.

 

Some fun activities that you can do a Monkey Birthday party include a unique banana race. Each participant gets a banana to peel and whoever gets it done the fastest wins. The only catch is, they have to do it with their feet!  Another fun game to play is Monkey in the Middle, everyone gets in a circle except the chosen monkey who has to try to catch a bean bag that is tossed around. If they get the bean bag, another monkey is chosen.

Thank-you gifts can include a lot of fun different options. A goodie bag of monkey accessories like, monkey rubber duckies and monkey necklaces, offer a theme-based way to remember the festivities. You can always offer a sweet treat too, sugar cookies or monkey cake-pops with personalized wrapping and tags.
