What do I need to do to prepare for a kid’s birthday?
Planning a fun party for kids can be simple when you focus on the essentials:
- Decorate the space with bright balloons and turtle-themed plates or napkins.
- Organise activities that keep the kids engaged, such as:
- A scavenger hunt
- Pizza-making (a nod to the Turtles’ favourite food)
- Party games inspired by superheroes
- Prepare goodie bags or small treats to send home with guests.
- Finish it off with ordering the Ninja Turtles Drip Cake as the centrepiece — bold colours, playful toppers, and a striking drip design that ties the whole theme together.
This way, the party decorations, activities, and cake all work in harmony, making the celebration both memorable and easy to host.
