If you prefer, you can use shaved white chocolate or coconut the next time you add the “cheese.” Place your cheese on top of the cake. Cover the top of the cake with red and brown M&Ms. Serve the birthday cake in the form of a pizza box. No time to make a cake, use an ice cream cake instead.

These are the birthday party activities for children, tweens, and teens for a fun birthday party or group activity! Pick your favorite birthday party activities to go along with your party theme!
T-Shirts
Kids can take home a fun activity and a birthday party gift. Before the party, buy T-shirts (I’ve used Hanes T-shirts in a package or bought them for as little as $2 each at craft stores) and wash and dry them. Set out fabric markers and fabric paints to decorate the shirts with. Iron-on letters come in a variety of styles. Combine various styles to spell out their name or a funny saying. Tip: Place large grocery sacks, cardboard, or poster boards inside the shirt to keep the paint from bleeding to the back. Teens and Tweens have a great time making and wearing these shirts.
Scrapbooking
It is a fun activity for birthday sleepovers or extended parties where the kids can print out photos. Make a scrapbook for each partygoer. Set out scrapbooking supplies for them to make a page about their friends and the party. Add pizza stickers too!
