Candyland Birthday Theme

Fun Candy Land birthday party ideas for kids parties.   Mix and match these ideas to create your own special party.  Candyland Invitation Ideas Use solid color colorful invitations in bright colors Copy the game board to the invitation or make your own by gluing small squares of construction paper or square stickers on the card. Use extra playing cards from the game or make larger versions and ask guests to dress in that color for the Candyland party. On large colorful lollypops (6” or bigger) place a large white address label with the party information. Attach party information to a candy cane (Candy Cane Forest) or a small bag of gumdrops (Gumdrop Mountain).

Use colorful helium balloons tied to the backs of the chairs at the cake table. On the table place a white tablecloth and scatter fun candies, gumdrops and striped lollypops on the table.

Buy several different colors of plates and cups and mix and match for table settings.

If you can find an after Christmas sale stock up on large candy canes and use them to decorate.

Fun Ideas
Buy hats the colors of the game pieces … or use colored t-shirts and turn the guests into their own game piece. Place squares of construction paper on the floor in the shape of the game board trail.  Use the color cards from the game and let the children play a life size version of candy land.

Candyland Party Games

Prize Walk Birthday Game
Have a birthday prize walk instead of a cakewalk. Place construction paper with numbers written on the front on the ground in a circle or oval.  Start the music and the birthday party kids walk around the circle until the music stops. Pick a number out of a hat or roll a dice to decide which number wins a prize. The child that is standing on the number that is picked gets to choose a small toy from the birthday games prize table.

Candy Land Jar
In a large clear plastic jar with a tight lid place lots of different types of candies … skittles are a good colorful choice. Count the candies as you are placing them in the jar. When guests start to arrive ask them to guess how many candies are in the jar. Write down their name and their guess. The person closest to the number in the jar wins the jar!
