Wild Safari Animal Party Supplies - Roar!
by TerriRexson
A collection of wild safari animal party supplies to make your birthday party go with a roar! These party supplies work well for jungle and zoo birthday parties too.
A Safari Animal Party
My nearly five year old son is fascinated with wild animals, especially African animals - he got this from watching Go Diego Go! and lots of animal documentaries. The carnivores are his favorites. For his fifth birthday he has asked for an African birthday cake (I'm still designing that) and safari animal toys so I've been looking at wild safari animal party supplies to fit the theme.
On this page I'll include lots of ideas for creating a wild-animal themed party.
The Zoology Deluxe Party Pack for 8 is a perfect design for my son as it features a gorgeous leopard and other African animals. It's brightly colored but grown-up enough for my 5 year old animal lover.
The basic set includes: 8 invitations, tableware for 8, 8 activity placemats (that's a nice touch), 18 balloons in Safari colors and a tablecover.
The deluxe set adds more matching decorations, candles, confetti, centerpiece and a foil balloon.

Safari Party Favor Boxes - Filled
You can also get these prefilled party favor boxes to match the Zoology range: Zoology Party Favor Box.
The kids will love those binoculars and you could hand those out at the beginning of the party and use them in a safari (treasure) hunt game where kids have to find hidden safari animals.
Do check the description as items do get substituted (for something appropriate) from time to time.
Safari Jeep Photo Prop
I was thinking of making the front of a Jeep from cardboard as a prop. I'm not particularly artistic but could probably come up with something reasonable.
This Jungle Safari Photo Prop is cheap and effective though. And it's available from the same place as the Zoology party supplies.
Taking a photo of each child on safari to use in a thankyou note would be a nice touch.

Pith Helmets for Safari Rangers
Every Safari Ranger needs a Pith Helmet! If your budget runs to it then the kids will have a lot of fun wearing a Pith Helmet and they can take it home as a party favor too. I've also got my son a Safari Ranger Vest for his birthday so we can wear it at his party.
Buying a set of 8 keeps the cost down.

Foam Safari Stickers - Decorate a Field Journal
A craft activity always goes down well with kids. Nothing too complicated or messy for this age group though.
I'm going to make the kids simple field journals and let them decorate them with foam safari animal stickers. I'm using the foam animal shapes that are sticky so we won't need glue.
This is a good activity to offer as the children are arriving.

Lion Sleeps Tonight - Hippo
Musical Safari Rangers
My boys love the Lion Sleeps Tonight video with Hippo and Stan. It's very funny. We'll use this for musical safari rangers.
This is like musical statues except you're a park ranger who needs to keep still when the music stops so the animals don't see you.
Getting kids to copy Hippo and Stan's dance moves is very funny!
Backyard Safari Camouflage Net

Create a Hide for Watching Wild Animals
We're going to use a camouflage net to create a hide in an area of the room. Five year olds love any kind of den.
The backyard safari net in gold is perfect for camouflage on the Savannah! The kids can hide behind it and look for animals.
The picture shows it draped over a play tent. That could work if you have enough room.
African Animal Sounds
We found a great African animals sounds album on MP3. You can use this as a soundtrack or turn it into a game where the kids have to guess which animal is making the noise. Some of them are quite tricky!
African Kids Party Music
If you want to creat a real African atmosphere then this African music kids album is brilliant. The title track Drum like an Animal could be used as an activity to see who can do the best drumming - on tables, knees, pots and pans, the floor!
