Is your child a fan of the ninja turtles? If so, you could throw them a ninja turtle party for their next birthday. Whether their favorite turtle is Leo, Mikey, Raph, or Donatello, we have some ideas to make their party totally tubular! Read on to learn how to easily turn your home into your kid’s personal dojo for a day—or at least it will probably feel that way to them.
Ninja Turtle Party: Decorations
1. Ninja Turtle Balloons
If you’re into DIY decorations, try buying some light green balloons and then using different colored paper to fashion headbands and eyes for them. Then you draw on a smile with a sharpie or the like, and you have festive and on theme balloons for your child’s party. They will be so unique that they can even double as a party favor and be taken home by the kids when they leave. If you don't have the time to make them yourself, there are ninja turtle balloons that you can buy.
2. Ninja Turtle Tablecloth
You will likely have a table dedicated to treats, presents, etc. If you are wondering how best to decorate said table, look no further. A great idea is to find out the birthday boy or girl’s favorite ninja turtle and then decorate the table to look like that turtle. You have to get a light green tablecloth and then put a large bit of fabric over that which is the corresponding color. So red, light blue, orange, or purple. After you manage to make the material appear like a mask, once again, add some cartoonish black and white eyes, and you are set. Or, if you are a busy parent, you can buy a ninja turtle tablecloth.
3. Ninja Turtle Pumpkins
If you can manage to lay hands on a few pumpkins, you can pretty easily paint them green and create decorations that look like the turtles' heads. You can use fabric to make masks for them.
4. Ninja Turtle Birthday Banner
A birthday banner is a great decoration choice. It shows that the focus is on the person having the birthday for the day. And luckily for you, there are ninja turtle birthday banners that fit your theme nicely.

5. Ninja Turtle Mask
Kids love to play and use their imaginations, so buy some red, blue, purple, and orange pieces of cloth and cut out DIY Ninja Turtle masks for your child and all their friends. Each kid can masquerade as their favorite turtle for the duration of the party. Or if you don't feel like going to the trouble, just buy some ninja turtle masks.
6. Pool Noodle Nunchucks
In addition to the masks, you can cut up green pool noodles to make ninja turtle-themed nunchucks. That way, the pretend martial arts that are sure to ensue won’t end in actual injuries.
7. Foam Swords
As a parent to a ninja turtle lover, you probably already know that not all the turtles use nunchucks. To mix things up, you can buy some foam swords for the kids to whack each other with. It will end up being the lesser evil as it will most likely keep kids from being tempted to fight with sticks or other, more dangerous imaginary weapons found around the house. We wouldn’t want dad’s golf clubs getting into the mix, for example.

8. DIY Turtle Shells
In addition to the masks and foam weaponry, you can make DIY turtle shells for all the kids using disposable roasting pans. You can easily spray paint them green and attach some strings so that the kids can strap them to their backs like backpacks. This is an idea that is sure to be a lot of fun for your kid and their guests, but I would recommend making them beforehand and just handing them out instead of trying to get the kids to make the shells themselves mid-party. You don’t want a bunch of kids to spray paint your house green or complain because the paint on their turtle shell isn’t drying fast enough.
9. Ninja Turtle Goodie Bags
If you want to send your guests away still smiling about the ninja turtle party they just attended, try giving them these ninja turtle goodie bags when they leave. You can easily fill them with candy or other treats.
Ninja Turtle Party: Food Ideas
10. Pizza
No ninja turtle party would be complete without pizza. Anyone who knows the turtles knows that they love a good New York slice. This should be easy as pizza is a staple for kids’ birthday parties anyway.
11. Sewer Lids
For dessert, you can serve a neatly stacked pile of Oreos, labeling them “sewer lids.” This might sound unappetizing to the average adult, but any true TMNT fan—or any child in general—will appreciate the imagery. Just trust that kids are weird like that. They love to use their imaginations.
12. Ninja Turtle Watermelon
If you want to make a healthy snack for your kid’s b-day party to balance out all the potential junk food, an easy solution is to make a ninja turtle watermelon centerpiece. Just cut a mouth-shaped hole out of a watermelon, fashion a ninja turtle mask for it, and then heap a selection of cut-up fruit or other ninja turtle-themed snacks around it. You can put some of the fruit in the mouth of the turtle to complete the centerpiece.
13. Ninja Turtle Cupcakes
Cupcakes are great treats for a kid's party—or any party, really. And you can stay on theme by using ninja turtle cupcake toppers!

14. Ninja Turtle Piñata
Since you are almost certainly going to have a lot of hyper kids practicing “the art of ninja” around your house, you should try to funnel some of that energy into something productive—or at least not purely destructive. Similarly, you might want to encourage them to attack something other than each other. That is where a ninja turtle-themed piñata comes in handy.
Piñata Tortuga Ninja
Esta piñata inspirada en la Tortuga Ninja mide 16 pulgadas x 16 pulgadas x 4 pulgadas (L x H x W) y puede contener hasta 10 libras de caramelo (¡eso es más de 200 barras de risitas de tamaño divertido!). ¡Está diseñado para durar para que todos en su fiesta puedan disfrutar de vencerlo antes de que se rompa!

15. Musical Manholes
This game is basically musical chairs but you create poster board manhole covers instead of using chairs.
16. Sensei Says
Try playing Simon says, but call it “sensei says.” You can even dress up like Master Splinter if you want to commit, or if you are taking a more laid-back approach, you could wear a master splinter shirt to convey that you are the sensei in this dojo.
17. Ninja Pizza Party
You could play Ninja Pizza Party, a board game where the kids create different types of board game pizza with the ingredients they are given in the set.

26. Cowabunga Invites
These invites are great if you are looking for something for a very young child. They are cartoonish, not because they are based on one of the official cartoons but because the designs are simple and colorful. Plus, they feature the turtle puns and surfer lingo characteristic of the ninja turtles.
27. American Greetings Invites
These invites, which feature the version of the turtles from the 2012-2017 series, come in a set that includes thank you cards, which you can send to your guests after they have attended the party. You'll get points for being thorough, I am sure, and you won't have to go through the hassle of finding additional thank you cards after the fact.
Ninja Turtle Theme Party: Conclusion
Now you know everything you need to know to throw a bodacious ninja turtle party for your child. Their love for four giant turtles who were taught to be ninjas by a similarly huge rat might mystify you now, but this party may create memories that last a lifetime for both of you. So as the turtles say, “cowabunga, dudes!”
