Answer
Face paint -- draw spongebob on kids cheeks or arms! You can get some pretty decently priced non-toxic face paint in the makeup section in a place like Party City.

"Pin" the shell onto Gary! Or "Pin" the squarepants on Spongebob! :) -- Print out a picture of Spongebob in his undershorts... (You know there are plenty of these moments!) then print out a second picture of his pants. You can use velcro (buy from Michael's or Jo-Ann's) since pins may be too much... Or even print out the pants onto a sticker sheet. :) The person who gets the pants closest to the target wins!

You could have a color themed goodie bag... Yellow and Black (banana and licorice) salt water taffies, for example... or yellow and black pencils! If you check out Spongebob's main "colors" and stick to that, (rather than worrying about getting the products that have the actual characters on them), this could cut down on price. Instead get spongebob print bags at the 99 cents store or Party City (again, this is a great place, though it can be pricey). The bag will be spongebob but contain the little color coordinated favors. :) These can be prizes!

You can print out spongebob coloring book pictures and have some crayons for a color-free-for-all.

Spongebob cupcakes! He has a simple design so this shouldn't be too hard. You could even provide the icing and have people decorate their own plain cupcakes! :) Either that or a spongebob cake... you can probably get this for cheap at any supermarket (special order ahead of time!) for a decent price.

For the booths, you can easily construct them out of cardboard -- it would just take some time. Long table cloth or even some cardboard draped down in front of a table will help create the illusion of a booth. You can have shelves behind you to give that carnival feel.

Make spongebob! I listed a tutorial below on how to make Spongebob out of sponges and colored paper. :)

Other things I can think of are -- pipe cleaner Planktons (He has an easy design too so you could make him easily I think), Spin Patrick (also added below are tips on how to make your own prize wheel). I hope this helps! :)

Spongebob birthday party ideas?




Dahlia


My daughter wants to have a spongebob birthday party for her 6th birthday. I think we're going to have a guy in a spongebob costume do the party because she really wants that and there is a really cool spongebob cake at the local grocery store, so those are taken care of, but now I need other party ideas.

We did a pirate party for her 4th birthday and we did a mini treasure hunt with treasure maps and one of the treasures were plastic gold coins buried in the sand box. I think that would fit this theme too so I may do that again, but any other ideas for the party? Either ideas for games or decorations or foods or anything. :-)
Ooh, clarinets would be neat, but I think I might be cursing you by the end of the party! The kids will make sooo much noise with them! :-)



Answer
Invitations: cut the shape of a pineapple from yellow cardstock and glue the green crown cut from green cardstock. Write the party details, put inside blue envelopes along with a small amount of sand or sea confetti, seal and mail out, or if possible, hand-deliver inside plastic bottles.
Decor: outside place a sign (use cardboard) saying âBikini Bottomâ with an arrow pointing to the party area. Have lots of blue, green and transparent balloons (to resemble bubbles), hang blue streamers to resemble waves and green streamers to resemble marine algae. Scatter seashells, sea cookies, faux pearls or just sea confetti on the tables. (If you find big seashells, use them as centerpieces). Rent a bubble machine, if possible, it will add a nice effect. If your daughter have sea toys (fish, shark, sea horse...) use them as decor also (or you can diy from construction paper, cardstock, any paper. You can also tape them on the walls). Play SpongeBob soundtrack or episodes of the show (in mute or no) in the background.
Food: make Squidwarms treats - take gum balls with a bit of frosting, then cut twizzlers in 2 or 3 inches and stick ten pieces in each gum ball. Draw little eyes with black or brown icing (or even smaller candies).
serve goldfish crackers inside sand pails, Mr. Krabs patties (hamburgers), mini sandwiches (p&b, cream cheese, deli meat) in the shape of sea creatures (and even SpongeBob) using cookie cutters (do the same thing with the cookies). Seashell-shaped pasta with spinach strips (to simulate marine algae) inside individual bowls. Bake cupcakes with yellow frosting and stick SpongeBob toppers. For drinks, serve a blue or green punch, pink lemonade (call it "jellyfish's drink"), pineapple juice (of course!) inside pineapple sippy cups: http://www.amazon.com/Hawaiian-Pineapple-Sipper-Cup-Pack/dp/B004GBGG5M/ref=pd_sbs_op_2
Games: the treasure hunt is a good idea, but instead of just plastic coins, also put in a box (the chest) chocolate coins, candy necklaces, ring pops.
Favors: fill little yellow boxes or bags (or small sand pails) with SpongeBob related stuff: small bottles of bubble, stickers, coloring books, mini squirt toys and mini water games (you find everything in discount stores). If you want to give out something different, this one was at my cousin's party: cut sponges into shapes of squares, circles, rectangles, triangles and starfish, added some little bottles of washable paints, a small sketch pad and a paint brush. Put them inside blue cellophane bags and tied with a green ribbon. Everyone loved it.
