Kids love the adventure of an airplane, so an airplane or fighter jet party can be a great choice for kid party ideas. Here are some ideas to get you started!
Make your invitation to look like an airplane ticket or boarding pass (you know, the kids we used to get?)
If you don't want to purchase airplane themed partyware, pick up plates, napkins, etc. in a pretty sky blue. You can even add clusters of white balloons to your party area and call them clouds!
Teach the kids how to make paper airplanes and fly them in a race.
For a cake, use an airplane cake pan, or use a rectangular sheet cake to look like an aircraft carrier.
Another cute airplane cake idea - using a round cake and decorating the sides with fondant.
Visit your local airport for a tour of an airplane.
Pretend to board an airplance and visit fun, exotic destinations such as those listed in our Around the World Party Ideas. (Don't forget the passport stickers!)
