Little kids love cookies, and what better way to indulge their sweet tooth than by decorating them? All you need are some basic sugar cookies, frosting, sprinkles, googly eyes, and other decorations of your choice. Set up a table with all the necessary tools and let the kids unleash their creativity. Remember to have enough cookies for each child to decorate multiple cookies, allowing them to perfect their skills throughout the activity. And guess what? The cookies they decorate become their built-in party favors!
Variation: You can also decorate cupcakes or have everyone decorate a giant white birthday cake together.
2. Nerf War
If you have a collection of Nerf guns or if your child's friends can bring their own, organizing a Nerf war in the backyard is guaranteed to be a hit! Let the kids divide into teams, set up obstacle courses, and embark on an exciting battle. Provide them with safe zones and establish rules to ensure a fair and fun experience.
3. Pictionary
Pictionary is a classic party game that never fails to bring laughter and camaraderie. Grab a large piece of paper or a whiteboard, and pre-write some fun clues. Split the kids into teams and take turns drawing and guessing. Remember to work together to avoid unnecessary conflicts - we all know how competitive birthday parties can get!
4. Movie Night

One of the simplest yet most enjoyable activities is hosting a movie night. Lay out sleeping bags or blankets, pop some popcorn, and turn off the lights to create a cozy atmosphere. This works especially well for small groups. Choose a movie that your child and their friends will love and let them enjoy a cinematic experience together. The best part? It requires minimal effort on your part!
Variation: Take the movie night outside and snuggle up on an outdoor blanket.
5. Piñata

Nothing adds excitement to a party like a piñata! You can easily find piñatas at party stores or even Walmart. Hang one up, blindfold the kids, and watch them take turns trying to break it open and collect the candy inside. Consider getting multiple piñatas if you have a large number of children attending the party to ensure everyone gets a chance to participate.
6. Treasure Hunt or Scavenger Hunt
If you're feeling adventurous, organize a treasure or scavenger hunt for the party-goers. Make it even more exciting by aligning the hunt with the party theme. Hide clues throughout the house or backyard, leading the children to a hidden treasure. Let their imagination run wild as they solve riddles and work together to unveil the mystery.
7. Paint & Sip

Turn your home into a Paint & Sip Art Studio! Provide the kids with canvases, paint, paint brushes, and fruit juices or soda. Let them unleash their artistic side while sipping on their favorite beverages. You can even offer a new paintbrush or watercolor set as a party favor.
Variation #1: Plein Air Painting - Take the painting outdoors and let the kids create masterpieces inspired by nature.
Variation #2: Mud Painting - Get messy and have fun with mud painting. It's a budget-friendly alternative that guarantees lots of laughter.
8. Backyard Campout

Simplify your child's birthday party by taking it back to basics with a backyard campout. Encourage everyone to bring their tents and sleeping bags for a night under the stars. Add some extra fun with a campfire, flashlight tag, and s'mores. If you want a shorter version, have a campout under the night, where the kids enjoy the evening activities and get picked up before bedtime. Just make sure to check with parents beforehand in case younger children feel spooked by sleeping outside.
These are just a few of the many incredible activities you can plan for your child's 7th birthday party. Remember, the most important thing is to create a fun and memorable experience for your child and their friends. With a little creativity and a lot of enthusiasm, you can throw a party that will be the talk of the town - or at least the playground!
Happy birthday to your 7-year-old! We wish them a day filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
