Jungle Party Idea

SPECIAL FEATURES of THIS WILD JUNGLE PARTY:

A perfect fit for fans of The Jungle Book and Tarzan too!

Keep it loose and primitive and you’ll be the hit of the jungle jive!

Personalized Safari Banner

Lion Photo Standeelion photo standee

Create a jungle habitat with light and dark green streamers hanging about the walls and ceiling. Add some yellow or orange too, for some contrast and a lighter look. Make palm trees from used carpet tubes and large construction paper leaves. Or make a cool jungle canopy with palm leaf patterned green gossamer.

Cut animal footprints from construction paper and tape to walls and floor. Construction paper chains and brown crepe paper make great vines too. Drape stuffed toy monkeys - the kind with long hanging velcro arms, about your jungle, along with stuffed or rubber snakes.

Grass mats, palm leaf thatching, camouflage netting, and burlap sacking are all great materials to use to create a jungle habitat. If outdoors, start with a tent canopy and improvise. If the party is indoors, add a fog machine for a real jungle/rainforest effect! Play jungle animal sounds of rain falling, frogs chirping.

Make zulu warrior masks and hang them about or let kids use them for free play.  These cute tiki mask cut-outs will do in a pinch.  Matching spears can be easily fashioned from bamboo rods and cardboard spearheads decorated with raffia and craft feathers. Lean these here and there for a fun and fierce accent.

For the party table, raffia skirting and festive palm tree cups get you off to a great start. Then, drape tiger patterned gossamer over the backs of chairs, and use animal print slap bracelets or safari springs for napkin rings.




Is Elephant Poop the Largest Poop in the World?


Make a COOL HUT in which party guests can play - Start with a large cardboard appliance box.  Drape with animal print gossamer, tearing the ends to look ragged. Use palm leaf thatching draped over the top for an authentic look. Surround with silk or real plants or green palm-leaf patterned gossamer.

At a given time, the party child can invite each guest in turn into his hut to open presents. 

For little ones, cordon off an area of the party room and hang a sign labeled "Jungle Petting Zoo". Instruct guests in advance to bring their favorite stuffed jungle animals to place in the zoo. Or, make your own zoo with this inflatable giraffe and zebra.

Bunch these cool patterned safari print balloons - cheetah, leopard, zebra, and tiger latex - throughout the party area.

Jungle Party Costumes -

Dress the party child in khakis, tan shirt and a pith helmet. Or, let your party child be "king" or "queen" of the jungle with one of these animal masks: zebra, tiger, or giraffe.

Provide simple visors made to look like jungle animals.  Or, give each guest a pair of animal print retro sunglasses and an animal print bandanna to wear.  How about this cool zulu warrior feathered headpiece..... for Mom!

Set up a "Tribal Face Painting Station" where you’ll add whiskers, stripes, spots, or a black nose to complete the look. You could also just face paint on spiders, snakes, ladybugs and butterflies.

Jungle Party Food

Serve safari party food on these cute jungle animal plates.

Wild Zebra Sandwiches - Use a slice of light and a slice of dark bread for each sandwich. Stuff with your choice of turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, etc. Cut the sandwich into 4 or 5 strips, each about ½ to 1 inch wide.

Carefully flip over the first strip so the different-colored bread shows. Skip the second strip, then turn over the third. Keep going, skipping every other strip. You now have a striped sandwich!

Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches cut into animal shapes with cookie cutters.

Bananas for the monkeys, Peanuts "elephant snacks", Broccoli "treetops" for the giraffes, Cheetos "tiger tails"

Hershey Hugs are striped like zebras

Animal Crackers of course!

Ostrich - Chicken Nuggets

Trail Mix

Jungle Juice

2 (12 oz.) cans frozen cranberry juice concentrate
1 1/2 c. orange juice
1 1/2 pts. club soda or seltzer
Orange and lemon slices

Freeze orange and lemon slices in ring of water. Thaw cranberry juice concentrate. Combine with orange juice and chill. Add club soda or seltzer just before serving. Add orange and lemon ice ring for garnish. 18 servings.

Here's where the fun starts... place a piece of dry ice in a sealed plastic container. Punch or cut holes in the container lid. Before serving drop the container into the punch bowl. Very cool effect!


Variation: Smoldering Swamp Water - Float the dry ice container in a green beverage such as 7-UP.

Important: Always use caution when handling dry ice! Use tongs or heavy gloves so it does not touch bare skin as burn will result. Do not put the dry ice directly in the punch; it should NOT be ingested.
