Amazing Party Ideas Inspired By Artscapes

by

These amazing artscapes are the perfect inspiration for your next party. Sometimes it is what you don’t do that sets you apart from all the rest. So forget about traditional party decorations and take inspo from this collection of photos. I have to say the hanging tassels are my favorite and I just wish I had a big tree to hang them all from.

I think the pool ring igloo is the perfect idea for a backyard party. The kids can hang out inside whilst keeping the Pool party theme. All you need is some string and some large inflatable pool rings or tubes. Just make sure this one doesn’t end up in the pool as it might be a hazard. This would look really cool done out of white inflatable tube rings for a Winter themed snow party or done out of inflatable tyres for a Cars or construction party for boys. So many possibilities for decorating your party with these ideas.

The balloon tree is a great idea too, I would do that one on a smaller scale just because I hate blowing up balloons, would be nice for a park party though. You could save time by stinging them together and then just wrapping the tree when you arrive at your DIY party venue. How amazing would the photos look with that DIY Balloon backdrop?

The flower doorway is so over the top that it is AMAZING! It would, however, cost a small fortune for all the faux flowers, but when it’s a unique look you are after then money is no object. You could easily bunch up the back of the garland with fresh branches from your garden to bring down the costs.

Learning about the Moon for Kids

The moon is always a fun topic for kids because it’s around all the time but always changing and there are lots of educational and crafting activities available to learn about the moon. 

I’ve shared a few in the past, including this phases of the moon flip book and a project about coding the phases of the moon. 

Check out some cool pictures of our moon, other moons, and what it might be like to live and work on the moon with these images from NASA. And you can learn about the moon landing from National Geographic Kids.

Learn about the phases of the moon and do these dot-to-dot worksheets for the different phases from Kids Activities Blog. I also love this homemade moon phases puzzle form What We Do All Day.

I Can Teach My Child has a fun experiment illustrating why there are craters on the moon, made with “moon dough” (flour and baby oil). Or you can make a clay moon and give it craters with this activity from Gift of Curiosity. 

There are lots of fun ways to make moon rocks, including this dough and glitter version from Kids Activities Blog and fizzing moon rocks from Little Bins for Little Hands. 

Speaking of fizzy science, Montessori from the Heart has a fun moon craft project that’s made with baking soda, vinegar and glitter. So you can talk about the acid/base reaction and learn about the moon at the same time you make a cool piece of art. 

Or make this fun aluminum foil moon from Mom Brite.

Cinta and Co. has a cute phases of the moon art project and information you can download about the phases of the moon. 

And of course you’ll probably want to make the classic Oreo moon phases craft/snack, which you can find at Teach Mama if you don’t know it already.

Add in some books about the moon (The Moon Book is a great one), a sensory bin with moon sand and astronaut characters, maybe a little walking with big steps like you’d take on the moon (and a discussion of why they walk like that) and your moon day will be complete!
