12 Summer Birthday Party Activities for Kids

Birthday Muddy Fun

If you've got a rambunctious group of tots heading over for this year's birthday celebration, consider making a fun obstacle course, like this one featured on Under the Sycamore.

Much like the Wipeout course, this cool DIY activity offers up a variety of dirty messy challenges, including a romp through tires, oversized cardboard boxes to crawl through, a string maze, and a finale of digging through a pool of mud for plastic insects to take home as party favors. Mom Ashley says that both of her boys agreed that this was by far the best party ever, and we're sure there are plenty of little ladies out there who would also concur! Check out the rest of Ashley's full post to see their creative course ideas.
