The Creepy, Crawly Birthday for Boys

In the last blog post, we wrote a bit about throwing a perfect party for the little princess in your life, but what about the boys?  The majority of little men won’t be quite so impressed with glitter-covered foods and cardboard castles.  They would, however, love a day of creepy, crawly encounters.

Snakes on the Dance Floor start the event by ushering in the young friends into a room with a floor covered in fake snakes.  The moms (and even some of the dads) in the crown may not be big fans, but you will surely get a lot of giggles from the guests of honor.  When the boys leave at the end of the event, give them a bag of these little creatures as party favors.

Spiders in the Balloons Just as the snakes on the floor are sure to be a sensation, you can get a great reaction if you release helium-filled balloons, and allow the boys to see the spiders contained within.  It’s the perfect addition to a truly creepy party.  You can add to the effect by hanging fake spider webs and keeping the lights low.

Dirt Cups Instead of a cake, you might want to consider dirt cups.  Chocolate with cookie crumbles will be a tasty treat.  Add a gummy worm and it will look just like a cup of dirt, perfect for boys celebrating the dirtier side of life.

Buckets of Ickiness We’ve all heard of the hand in the bucket of spaghetti or skinned grapes at Halloween, but this trick doesn’t have to be reserved for the holiday.

Reptiles Making Rounds There are also many reptile experts and zoos who are willing to make birthday parties even more outstanding.  Invite one of these professionals to bring along a selection of his creepy, crawliest possessions.  Little boys will love the chance to touch and hold lizards, turtles, snakes, and more.
