How to choose a birthday party theme by age
Seventeen themes is a lot. Here is which ones land best for 3 to 6, 7 to 9 and 10 plus, and why.
Every theme has a version for each age band, so nothing is off limits. But some themes shine at particular ages.
Ages 3 to 6
Go for big, visible reactions and short steps. Slime Birthday, Fantastic Dinosaurs and Science or Magic are the crowd favourites. The experiments are hands-in-the-mess and the results are instant.
Ages 7 to 9
This age wants a mission. Search for a Buried Treasure and Forensics: The Investigation Team turn the experiment into a story to solve. Caution: Electricity is a hit with kids who like building.
Ages 10 and up
Older groups like to be treated as scientists. Chemical Reactions Laboratory, The Science of Animation and Become an Engineer and Architect give them real tools and a result they can show off.
- Tell us the birthday child's age when you book and we adapt the experiment.
- You can change the theme up to a week before the party.
- Not sure? The party scientist can suggest one when you call.
