Nemo Birthday Party
Drinks and Cake
For the drink, you might want to serve shark punch. This is very easy to make. All you have to do is to pour any kind of punch into a punch bowl. Take gummy sharks, freeze them in the ice cubes, and then place those into the punch. As far as the cake goes, the party would not be the same without a Nemo cake. You can order one from your local bakery or you can create your own by using one of the many Nemo themed cake recipes out there. If you are thinking of serving some snacks, you can serve cookies that look like sandy beaches. Simply coat the tops of sugar cookies in light blue frosting. Then dip half of the cookie in sugar. Once you are done, the cookie looks like is a sandy beach and ocean.
Games
One fun game would be the Nemo Memory Game. Get a tray and fill it with a plastic sharks, fish, seashells, seaweed and anything else you can find that reminds you of the sea. Take the tray around and show all of the children. Then have them each name as many items as they could remember from the tray. The child that remembers the most is the winner. You could also have them play "Fish, Fish, Shark". This is played the exact same as "Duck, Duck, Goose, except of course that it is a shark that is chasing some fish.
Decorations
Streamers and balloons are still a great way to decorate. For the Nemo theme, you might want to stick with the colors orange and white. If you want to go a little further, you could always get some Finding Nemo fabric to cover the furniture, if this is an inside party, and hang some twinkle lights for an extra special effect. Another great idea would be to hook up a bubble machine and let it sent bubbles throughout the room. It is an easy way to get the kids to feel as though they are really in the ocean. For party favors you can use these sea life candy bar wrappers which are sure to be a cute addition to your Nemo party.
As you can see, there are many different ways you can put together the perfect Finding Nemo themed party. With just a little imagination and some time, you and your birthday boy or girl will have a blast.
