A kid’s party is just not complete without some delicious cupcakes. This is a great idea for some galactic cupcakes that kids could even decorate themselves as a fun party activity. With some colored icing, a few candies, and star sprinkles the kids will have their very own mini galaxies to bite into.

How would we arrive in outer space without some rockets? Fruit rockets are the perfect addition to your space party. Some simple cut-up fruit including bananas, strawberry, and melon on a skewer and you have a healthy outer space snack that guests of all ages will enjoy flying straight into their mouths.

Astronaut Ice Cream

Many people have had the joy of trying astronaut ice cream at space or science centers and you can have your very own sweet treat as part of your party. Astronauts eat freeze-dried food in space and while you may not be able to freeze-dry your own ice cream you can make some yummy meringues in their place. 

Astronaut Pudding

In addition to eating freeze-dried foods in space astronauts also use dried foods that they rehydrate. Astronaut pudding is a fun activity that you can do with the kids where they can watch and learn how astronauts eat-in space and then get to make their very own astronaut pudding by “rehydrating” it and eating straight out of the bag!!

Enjoy Playing These Great Outer Space Games

Grab A Planet

This game gives a new outer space spin on musical chairs. Grab a planet involving balls decorated as planets in a hula-hoop with one less planet than the number of players. The music plays and when it stops everyone grabs a planet, whoever does not get one is out. Each round another planet is removed until there is a winner. Such planetary fun!

Hot Moon

I am sure most people have heard of the game hot potato and hot moon is a great space version of this. Everyone stands in a circle and the players pass the ball or as is the case for your outer space party, the moon, to another player as fast as they can while the music plays, once it stops the player holding the ball is out. 

Weightlessness Race

Looking for a great team game? Look no further, weightlessness race is the one for you. You will need 4 bowls, 2 spoons, 40 cotton balls, and 2 blindfolds. The first players in each team need to use a spoon to move as many cotton balls from a full bowl to the empty one while blindfolded. The lightness of the cotton balls makes this a fun challenge!

Black Hole

Your outer space party will be the talk of the town with your very own black hole. Paint a box black and tie it into the tree with one side open. Get the party guests to try and throw frisbees into the box (black hole), the one that gets the most frisbees in the black hole wins! This competitive game is sure to be an intergalactic hit. 

Don’t Drop The Asteroid

If you are looking for a game that keeps everyone entertained, don’t drop the asteroid is perfect for you. You will need different color balloons known as asteroids each containing a different challenge written on paper inside. When the music plays the asteroids need to stay in the air when it stops everyone must grab an asteroid, then color is selected and the chosen player needs to complete their challenge. 

Moon Walkers

Another fun team game is moon walkers. Taking some coffee cans and string you can make your own moon boots. Players then go one at a time racing around a course in the moonwalkers until one team is the winner. What outer space party would be complete without a little moonwalking. 

Conclusion
