4 Easy Steps to a DIY Axolotl Party

1. Prepare the Axolotl Party Decorations!

Kids love decorations! We need to "wow" your young guests as they walk through your door.

Banner and Posters

No prep option- FREE banner and 3 axolotl posters. See here.

To make your own banner or posters...

You will first need an image of the axolotl amphibian.

Go to Pixabay on the internet and choose some images you like. Read the license terms. Many, if not most, of them are available for personal use.

Many beautiful images can aslo be found for free through the "Creative Commons" on the internet. To find images that you can use, do the following:

"Google search" Axolotl images, then click on "images".

Look for and click on "tools", and then "usage rights."

In the dropdown menu, choose "creative commons licenses".

A whole new set of images will appear that you can likely use for your own personal use.

Next, open up a document such as Powerpoint (my go-to) or something similar, and place the images on 8 or so different pages. Add text if you would like.

Finally, cut each page into a pennant shape and string them up on the wall or bulletin board. So fun!

To make your own posters, simply add a caption to the images above, and you are good to go.

OTHER DECORATIONS

Perhaps streamers and a few balloons?

2. Axolotl Party - Create Excitement!

Your learners will love to learn about the Axolotl, and may love sharing what they are already know about them!

Here are just a few amazing facts about them...

They are a type of salamander, and part of the amphibian class of animals.

Axolotls are critically endangered in the wild.

They can regenerate many parts of their body, including limbs and some internal organs.

Axolotls are native to lakes in Mexico City.

 

For more amazing facts about the Axolotl, search the internet, "Axolotl facts for kids", and you will come up with a wealth of information.

You are now prepared to have a lively discussion about Axolotls with your group of children.

3. Party - Choose the Main Event!

A main event at its finest, is an event that learners will remember for years to come.

For the main event, there are so many ideas I can think of. For no prep options take a look at this Axolotl Bingo game which I created or this group Directed Drawing lesson.

A few other ideas for a main event...

Watch a documentary about Axolotls

Make an Axolotl craft.

Make some Axolotl posters together

4. Party - Choose some Prizes or Party Favors!

Learners love a take-away, also known as a party favor, to take home after a party.

For a homemade option, present each student with a badge to wear or a certificate. You can make these through the same process as for the banner above.

If you want, you can ask each child to say something that they have learned about the Axolotl as you are presenting the prize.

No prep prizes are included in this Axolotl party bundle.

Wishing you a fabulous party with your kiddos!
