Birthday Concession Stand Party Kit for Kids | Editable Canva Signs
A Birthday Party Idea They’ll Actually Remember 🎉
Another birthday theme? Been there.
Another pile of toys they’ll forget about by next month? Every parent's been there, too.
Turn their next birthday into their very own Birthday Concession Stand. a fun, different way to celebrate that works indoors or outdoors, any time of year.
Here’s the idea:
Instead of traditional birthday gifts, ask each guest to bring a few small bills to spend at the birthday kid’s concession stand. Fill the stand with candy, treats, drinks and other goodies, let the kids “shop” for their dessert and at the end of the party, all of the money earned goes to the guest of honor.
It’s part birthday activity, part pretend shop, part dessert bar and a whole lot more memorable than another pile of toys.
Even better? The birthday kid gets to play shopkeeper, run their own little business and watch those dollar bills add up. 💵🍿
IT WORKS WITH ALMOST ANY PARTY
The concession stand doesn’t have to be the party theme. It can go right alongside whatever you’re already planning.
🏊 Pool party
🎬 Indoor movie night
🌙 Outdoor movie night
🏃 Field day or backyard games
🎮 Gaming party
🏀 Sports party
😴 Sleepover
🎈 Backyard birthday party
…and just about anything else you can dream up.
Host your main activity, serve your regular meal, and then open the concession stand for dessert!
For our party, we served pizza and fruit as the main meal. After that, the concession stand opened and the kids used the money they brought to buy their candy and treats.
Simple, fun and something completely different.
LESS STUFF. MORE FUN.
Let’s be real: by a certain age, kids already have a lot.
It can be hard to come up with another birthday theme they haven’t done and even harder to think about bringing home another 10 or 12 toys that may only get played with for a few weeks.
This gives friends something fun to participate in while still giving the birthday kid a gift.
Instead of arriving with another toy, guests arrive with a little spending money.
The kids get treats.
The birthday kid gets the proceeds.
And everyone gets to be part of the experience.
