Rainbow party ideas for 5 yr old

[Gingerbics]

Just wondered if anyone has any rainbow themed ideas for my daughters bday.
So far we've thought of a rainbow piñata from Amazon, rainbow drops (retro sweets) to take home, just not sure what to do in between!

Try the Party Pieces website, I think they might do a few rainbow coloured bits like strings of balloons, etc. Or Yellowmoon, they mIght do. I'm sure you could find some streamers to make rainbow banners with and get kids to draw rainbows on old tshirts or make a giant rainbow poster with bits of coloured paper.

Sounds lovely, have a nice time!

A few people on here have made a fantastic rainbow cake -I'll see if I can find a link for you

Rainbow cake

I recently did a rainbow themed party for my 6 yr old dd
We did - everyone come dressed in their favourite rainbow colour
Pin the colour on the rainbow (I painted rainbow on large piece of card, they then chose a coloured dot sticker from a sheet and stuck it to colour of their choice - sheet of rainbow stickers to everyone who managed)
Did a rainbow sweet treasure hunt. Bought sweets in red, orange, gree, etc, etc and hid them all over house. They had a little sandwich bag and had to find all the colours of the rainbow. When got the full set, got a prize.
Did rainbow cake which was just normal cake iced, with different coloured smarties to make the rainbow - really easy!!!
Did a couple of craft activities and some traditional party games as well and worked really well for a mix of girls and boys

Decorate fairy cakes rainbow-style?

Dressing up game using clothes in rainbow colours, ie. now find something RED to put on....now something INDIGO etc

Hang rainbow coloured sweeties off a piece of string & they have to eat them off with their hands behind their backs.

Variation of musical chairs but using large sheets of paper (we've used newspaper before) but you could have some rain cloud shapes, some sun shapes & one rainbow & after each go, one sheet is taken away till you have only the rainbow left.

Try some Rainbow Biscuits/Cookies - all sorts here www.thebiscuitsblog.com/category/rainbow-biscuits/, Rainbow biscuits, rainbow and cloud biscuits, dinosaur rainbow pinata biscuits, butterfly rainbow biscuits, unicorn rainbow pinata biscuits, rainbow fudge. They'd be perfect

Ahhh my DD had a rainbow party when she was 6 I think.

We had cake with a rainbow on it (dead easy); children all did craft where they decorated a picture of a rainbow (printed out a blank one from internet) with stickers, crayons, glitter or what they wanted; I judged them and the best two won a prize; also can adapt any game really, eg musical rainbows instead of musical islands, pass the parcel wrapped in rainbow paper, food was all bright colours (rainbow iced biscuits etc), party bags were in rainbow colours (those plain paper ones); prizes were all bright rainbow colours etc etc.

Loving those rainbow layer cakes!

We did rainbow fairy party, so mixture of rainbows and fairies. We did rainbow jelly in clear shot glasses from poundland, I made them a layer at a time, freezing them inbetween. I used the cheap plastic plates and cups from IKEA, 90p for 6. I used their bowls and filled each with colour coded fruit (e.g. Strawberries and raspberries in pink bowl) the table looked really colourful. We made rainbow marshmallow crispies (though make them in advance and freeze as they were a bit of a PITA). I used balloons of the different colours on sticks, and had them arranged in jam jars. We also used mini food to fit in with fairy theme, but I would recommend it anyway as they still took three mini sandwiches but didn't waste them, also used mini jammie dodgers, mini choc fingers, mini party rings etc. Found some rainbow lollies in 99p shop too. Hope she has a lovely tiime.

Rainbow treasure hunt - children have to find things from all colours of the rainbow. At the end, they can be awarded a chocolate coin from the pot of gold!

Corners game with a different colour in each corner.

Kim's game with all different coloured things on the tray.

I'm sure you could have fun compiling a Cd for party music: yellow submarine, 99 red balloons, purple rain. Ooh I wish I was having a rainbow party!

Wow what a rainbowtastic response you lot are amazing! Now I have cake ideas, food ideas, games, party bags etc. I'm
Really excited about it now and still got plenty time as not until 9 July. Plenty time to practice rainbow jellies in shot glasses etc. thanks again for all your great ideas I really really appreciate it Xx
