Planning a 3rd birthday party and want something fun, playful and easy to pull together? A “Wild Three” party is a cute jungle-themed celebration that’s perfect for little ones — combining animals, greenery and simple decorations for a relaxed but memorable day.
Whether you’re hosting at home or in the backyard, this theme is easy to style and works beautifully for toddlers. Here are simple ideas for decorations, food, games and party bags that actually work for a 3rd birthday.
Wild Three Set Up
Let’s start with the gorgeous set up pictured. Here’s how Marah pulled together these party decorations:
- The teepee has been sewed from an old bedsheet – what an amazing job!
- The dreamcatcher was purchased from Facebook marketplace.
- The backdrop was created using leftover wood and paint Marah already had on hand. She then painted using leftover paints as well.
- Palm leaves and banksia were sourced from friends.
Balloon Decorations
How gorgeous is this balloon set up! Marah already had all the balloons she needed at home from previous celebrations. She put together the balloon garland herself.
She also made the number three from scratch, cutting and painting it herself at home.
Cake
