Canberra Kids Party Ideas: The Ultimate Guide to Outdoor Fun!

Welcome to September, Canberra! The days are getting longer, the sun is shining a little warmer, and the city is starting to burst with colour. For parents of young children, this feeling is often accompanied by the looming question of birthday party planning. What do you do? How do you keep everyone entertained? How do you avoid the mess and stress?

With the Spring school holidays just around the corner, now is the ideal time to start planning a fun outdoor celebration in one of Canberra’s beautiful parks or even your own backyard. If you're searching for kids party entertainment in Canberra that is both exciting and hassle-free, you've come to the right place.

At Mollycoddle Parties, we are your mobile party service in the ACT. We believe that the best parties are filled with sparkle, laughter, and a touch of magic. Forget the stress of setting up, hosting a crowd, and cleaning up the inevitable mess. Let us bring the party to you!


Why an Outdoor Party is the Best Idea This Spring

Moving the party outdoors offers a host of benefits that make it the perfect choice for a spring celebration.
  • More Room to Play (and Sparkle!): Children have endless energy, and an outdoor setting gives them the freedom to run, play, and be themselves. Our Mollycoddle hosts can set up a vibrant face painting station under a shady tree or a special pamper area, all with plenty of space for active party games. It's the perfect solution for keeping a large group of children entertained without worrying about them getting underfoot in the house.
 
  • Soak Up the Sun (Safely): After a long Canberra winter, everyone is craving some sunshine! An outdoor party is a great way to get everyone out and about, embracing the pleasant spring weather. We always recommend setting up in a spot with plenty of shade, and we encourage guests to apply sunscreen and wear hats so the fun can last all day long.
 
  • Hassle-Free for Parents: This is the most popular benefit for parents! The stress of entertaining a room full of children can be overwhelming. Our experienced hosts will arrive with everything needed to create a magical experience. They'll set up their professional table and stool, manage the activities, and keep the children engaged for the entire booking. This means you can relax, socialise with other parents, and simply enjoy your child's birthday knowing the kids are being expertly entertained.


The Ultimate Party Experience: What We Bring to the Fun

Our experienced hosts are the most sought-after children's party entertainers in Canberra. We specialise in birthday parties for children aged 3 to 10, but we also love to face paint older children and even adults who want to join in the fun!
  • Dazzling Face Painting: Our professional face painters in Canberra will transform little faces with whimsical designs. We use only high-quality, professional-grade, hypoallergenic paints that are safe for sensitive skin. From courageous superheroes and graceful fairies to playful animals and fantastical creatures, we make every child's imagination come to life with our stunning creations.
 
  • Glitter Tattoos & Balloons: What's a party without sparkle and colour? Our temporary glitter tattoos are a huge hit, offering a touch of bling that is safe, simple to apply, and lasts for days. We also come prepared with a variety of vibrant balloons to add to the festive atmosphere. Simple but effective, balloons are a fantastic way to instantly lift the mood and add a pop of colour to any outdoor setting.
 
  • Interactive Party Games: We keep the energy high with a range of engaging games that are perfect for outdoor play. Our hosts will lead classic favourites like pass the parcel, interactive music games, and fun-filled parachute activities that get everyone giggling and playing together. These activities are tailored to the age of the children to ensure everyone is involved and having a great time.
 
  • Stress-Free Add-ons: We know that party planning can be a lot of work, from invitations to catering. To help, we also offer pre-made party bags filled with goodies to send your little guests home with a smile. It's one less thing for you to organise, so you can focus on the memories being made.
