A space themed party for kids is a timeless idea that sparks curiosity and fun. For ages 5–10, this theme works great for an at home party, keeping things simple while still feeling special. With thoughtful decorations, easy activities, and a menu that’s kid-friendly, you can create a party that feels magical without going over the top.

Decorating with Space Party Decor

Decorate with fun party decor that brings the galaxy indoors or out. Think navy or black tablecloths with pops of silver and gold. Balloons in clusters can double as planets, and glow-in-the-dark stars are perfect for walls or ceilings. You can even set the table with themed plates, napkins, and cups to tie everything together. A simple rocket cake topper or star candles on cupcakes adds just the right finishing touch.

Activities Kids Will Love

When planning a space themed party for kids, focus on activities that are easy and interactive:

• Moon rock hunt: Spray paint small rocks silver and hide them in the yard for kids to find.
• Astronaut training course: Use hula hoops, cones, or pool noodles to create a simple obstacle course.
• Telescope night: If your party runs into the evening, set up a telescope for star-gazing. Kids will love spotting the moon or planets.
• Space movie night: End the party with popcorn and a showing of Space Camp—a family favorite that fits the theme perfectly.

A Simple Space Party Menu

Keep the food playful but approachable. Some easy ideas:

• Cupcakes with swirled “galaxy” frosting
• Fruit kabobs that look like rockets
• Cheese balls or popcorn labeled as “moon rocks”
• Star-shaped sandwiches or cookies

Serve sparkling water or juice in clear cups with striped straws for a festive touch.
