My boy turns four at the end of the month and it seems like the second half of the year I will be busy with menu planning for my kid’s birthday parties! This year he has asked for a “Rocket Theme Birthday Party”!
A four year olds birthday party does not have to be mayhem with things quickly getting out of control – my aim is to make this party as stress free as possible! Firstly 5 friends are invited and the party will be short and sweet! It will be at a local park for only 1 hour! That way everyone can leave wanting more rather than the festivities ending in tears {let’s face it we have all been to those parties!}. If you have any more great ideas for a four year olds party – please let me know!!! Especially what works and what doesn’t!
Here is my quick brainstorm for my boy’s party!
The Rocket Birthday Party Menu will be healthy with a few sweet treats thrown in.
- Rocket Sandwhiches
- Rocket Low Joule Jelly Cups
- Colorful cupcakes
- Star cookies
- Veggie Sticks
- Rocket Birthday Cake
Rocket Birthday Party Games
- 1. Planet Race {Egg & Spoon Race}
- 2. Splat the Stars {throw beanbags onto cut out stars}
- 3. Rocket Running Race
- 4. Pass the parcel on the mat
- 5. Parachute
Rocket Birthday Party Timeline
- Kids arrive and place present into birthday present box

As a full time working mom of two who is also going to school, anything I can do to simplify my routine (and budget!) is a winner for me~
