I;m not totally “green” savy. But we have made tissue paper flowers. They are really neat and pretty easy. You can make them pretty big too. We used white paper and dipped it into a bit of watercolor. They looks like peonies.

I just used this company for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. They are located in the greater toronto area in Canada. The girls made jewelery using glass beads made from recycled material and sterling silver wire. The jewelery was the children’s loot bag and because the jewelery was so beautiful and made from glass material the girls still wear it and treasure it as a keepsake. The company was very eco conscious, they spoke to the girls about recycling and reusing. I was very impressed.

we are having a simple, low key ice cream social (my husband is making the ice cream!) for my daughter’s second bday party. and i would like to find alternatives to balloons. i really like the paper ball decoration in the photo you feature (it’s aqua blue), do you know what this is called and where i can get them? thanks!

I love the ideas for the Green B-day party! We will be celebrating Emma Jewell’s 1st bday next month. I am in search for a small eco friendly play set, with a slide for her bday, any ideas?

this is so timely as my oldest is turning 4 in two weeks. we are having a kitty cat themed party at our local park. invitations were made from recycled construction paper scraps. no paper products here – using reusuable plates, cups and cutlery from kids IKEA. the guests are asked to bring cat food to donate to the local animal shelter and the gift bags will be miniature plants (“cat nip”) so no “bags” required. we will be playing old fashion games like “cat, cat, dog” (duck, duck, goose) and pin the tail on the kitty. I love all your suggestions and will make sure we incorporate as many as we can to make it another green party!

I just discovered your site and love it. We did many birthdays at the beach, clean up is so easy there. We did a dino party and had kids-all under 5- dress up as cave people. Cake was homemade carrot cake with cream cheese icing and was loved by all. It was shaped like a harry(coconut) mamoth. Games were hit the bolder (paper bages stuffed with goodies) Goodies can be crayons, natural candy, etc) We had a race of huffalumps and woozels. It was very sweet.

Oh my goodness…all these ideas are fantastic!! I am loving the plantable paper. We did this years ago at a “Garden Tea Party” for Katie’s birthday. I love how you think. Thank you so much for sharing.
Warmly,
Tracey

Great ideas! We’ve tried very hard not to fall into the extravagant party trap and have so far succeeded. A big thing in these parts is a craft project which can be fun and green though messy.
