Kids Eco-Friendly Birthday Party Ideas – Awesome List!

Kiwi Magazine, dedicated to organic family topics, published this wonderful list of eco-friendly birthday party ideas.

Here are just a few:

“Bookworms: Have each kid bring a new or gently used book for a book exchange. Then have everyone sit a circle and contribute to making up a story. Write their tale down on recycled paper, and let the kids decorate it with green paints, soy crayons and markers.

Support the Community: Call your local fire or police station and ask for a tour. Perhaps in lieu of gifts, the families could donate money to the station.

Birthday Olympics: Set up a series of fun activities including relay races, jump rope and kickball. For treats, hand out organic cookie “medals” or energy bars for kids such as Clif Zbar.

Backyard Eco-camping: Start the party at dusk. Set up tents in the backyard, tell spooky stories, gaze at the stars and identify constellations. For treats, have kids make their own organic s’mores and trail mix. Older kids can have a sleepover in the tents.

Finger Paintin’ Fun: Use eco friendly paints and recycled paper to let the kids create their own masterpieces. The kids can take these home as favors or you could hang them up in your child’s room.”
