Invitations

When there's something fishy going on, make sure everyone knows to be there! Try these kid party ideas for inviting friends to your Finding Nemo party.

• Print coloring pages of your favorite characters from Finding Nemo and let your child color them. Affix to ocean-blue cardstock with the caption "Just Keep Swimming…" On the back or inside, add the phrase "…to (name)'s house to dive into fun!" Include Nemo Birthday party details.
• Under a picture of party-dude -- and movie favorite – Crush, mounted to cardstock, write the caption "We'll be CRUSHED!" Inside, write "We've found Nemo, and now we hope to find YOU!" Add date, time, and location of the party.
• A piece of orange cardstock with large google eyes glued to the front will resemble the close stare of a clown fish. When guests flip the card open, they'll learn that "We hope to see you at (name)'s (age) birthday party! We'll just flip if you join us in the ocean at (time) on (date) at (location)!

Decorations

Welcome guests to your Finding Nemo birthday party by installing a rustic "wooden sign" outside that reads "Sydney Harbor" with an arrow pointing toward the party. A piece of corrugated cardboard and a marker will make a simple sign much like the one that gave direction to Marlin in Finding Nemo.

Inside, recreate the Great Barrier Reef. Hang varying lengths of blue streamers from the ceiling to represent the blue waters of the ocean. Add clumps of green streamers for seaweed and marine plant life. Hang white and blue balloons everywhere.

As my favorite kid party ideas, they make perfect bubbles for a Finding Nemo birthday!

On the floor, craft waves of seaweed with wire hangars or heavy florist's wire. (Always curve wire ends around so they do not pose a hazard). Use green crepe paper to cover wire up one side, over the top, and down the other, attaching streamers to the wire periodically with tape. Use a flower pot filled with florist's foam to "plant" the seaweed, and then bend the wire to shape.

Your Nemo birthday party wouldn't be complete with the coral of the Great Barrier Reef, and you can easily make stunning coral creations with stings of balloons. Tie balloons to string to make long lines of coral, or arrange them in bunches. Use an archway or wire to make a coral arrangement that kids can walk or crawl through.

Kids will have a blast with this idea to recreate the drainage pipe from which Nemo made his escape. Get several large boxes from a grocery or appliance store. Cut access holes on the short ends and then tape them together with packing or duct tape to create a long tunnel. Include a few smaller holes for window grates. If you have a lot of room, consider making a maze from the boxes by adding connections to the sides.

Your Nemo birthday party wouldn't be complete with an appearance by Nemo himself, so try these kid party ideas to bring your theme to life.

• Use poster board or a roll of craft paper to draw a large Nemo outline. Cut out the shape and attach it to the wall. Allow guests to add the bright orange color with markers or washable paints. Add pictures of Marlin, Dory, and Crush, the giant lovable sea turtle, to complete the picture.
• The Finding Nemo personalized birthday banner is a fun way to bring Nemo into the room, and your child will be so proud to see his name in bold print on the wall! Ask guests to sign it for a memorable keepsake.
• The Nemo and Dad 3D jumbo mylar balloon is a perfect addition to your under water theme! Fill this impressive balloon with helium and Nemo and Marlin will look like they're suspended right in the middle of your makeshift ocean!

Get your table started with the Finding Nemo party supplies. This convenient set contains a complete table setting for up to eight guests, with additional supplies available for purchase. Streamers, balloons, ribbons, and a centerpiece are also included.

Kid Party Ideas for Food

When a clownfish gets thirsty, he needs something fun to drink! Try these kid party ideas for beverages.

• Cool ocean water – Dye milk blue with food coloring or offer a blue kool-aide or Gatorade for this refreshing treat.
• Seaweed juice – Start with a flavored green drink, then add seaweed ice cubes for an instant favorite! To make these, fill an ice tray with water. Before freezing, place one half of a gummy worm in each cube, allowing the other end to remain out of the water. Freeze the ice and pop one or two into each drink before serving.
• Clownfish Cooler – Layer softened orange sherbet in cups with whipped cream or partially melted vanilla ice cream for this Finding Nemo birthday party treat.

Clowning around is a lot of work! These fun, easy kid party ideas are perfect for big fish appetites.

• Fish food – Goldfish crackers, of course!
• Fish eggs – Grapes or cherry tomatoes make great kid-friendly "caviar."
• Sea cucumber sandwiches – Thin cucumber slices with cream cheese and shredded cheddar are great on bite-size crackers.
• Tuna sandwiches – Tuna salad is a perfect addition to any fishy menu! Offer chicken salad as an alternative for land lubbers.
• Peanut butter and Jellyfish sandwiches
• Blue Crush Jell-o – Serve in cups or dice into cubes.

When it's time for dessert, these fun and easy cake ideas are sure to be the hit of your Finding Nemo birthday party!

• Cupcakes are easy, no mess kids party ideas. Start with white (not yellow) cake mix and add blue dye before baking. When cooled, decorate the top with black, yellow and orange to match Nemo. Large dot eyes are sure to bring on giggles as kids take a bite of this clownfish!
• Stick with the under the sea theme by icing your cake blue. Pipe in fish, octopus, and jellyfish outlines and let the birthday kid add detail with small candies.
• If you're an advanced decorator, start with a large sheet cake. Then trim out the shape of Nemo and ice the cake to match his coloring. Carry the color scheme over the sides and all the way down to the tray for a true likeness.

Party Favors

Fish favor boxes are a great way to send your school of honorary clownfish off after the party!

Easy to assemble oceanic boxes include everything they'll need to remember the good time they've had, including a sticker sheet, plastic starfish, two gummy candy sea creatures, a squirt fish, a candy gumball machine full of "fish food", and a plush 5" fish of their very own.

If you really want to blow them away, include a small bottle of bubbles for each guest.
