Wild Kratts Birthday Party
My son Sullivan loves the PBS show Wild Kratts so this year we threw him a Wild Kratts birthday party. We kept the party super small because we hired Extreme Animals of OKC to bring some fun animals over to help us celebrate. A middle-aged mother who is skittish around house cats can only handle so many wild animals and people in her backyard at a time. Ha! As it turns out, I could have probably handled a dozen kids.

The animal handler was terrific and really put me at ease. Except for snake. The snake completely undid me at the seams. It was a compromise since among the creatures Sully wanted to select was Madagascar R*aches. I can’t even type the word. Blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I had a lot of fun making T-shirts for all the kids.

Anyway, for a boy who loves this show,it was super fun!
Since I don’t have a crafty bone in my body, I scored some awesome Creature Power Disc printables from a Mommy Blogger, YellowMums. I really appreciate moms like this who share all their stuff with moms like me! She saved me a ton of time.

Sully is a wonderful boy who makes everything better every day. He is a blessing to our family and worth a million Wild Kratts birthday parties.

Wild Kratts Song Lyrics
Sully sings the theme song to the show every time it comes on:
On adventure with the coolest creatures
From the oceans to the trees
The brothers Kratt are going places you never get to see
Hanging with their creature friends
Get ready, it’s the hour
We’re gonna see some animals today with creature power
Gonna go wild, wild, wild Kratts
Gonna go wild, wild, wild Kratts
Cheetah speed and lizard glide
Falcon flight and lion pride
Happy Birthday, Sully! Creature Power!

I love your hair?
Can u email me the fact sheets please? Love your party ideas.
just found your blog post and it’s giving me great ideas for my son’s upcoming birthday- he’s obsessed w/wild kratts! curious if you remember what you used for the ‘bat’ favor bag???
I think I may have skipped that bag or might have possibly used rubber bats from Dollar Tree or somewhere like that. My son is 11 now and doesn’t watch Wild Kratts much anymore. He’s moved on to Jeremy Wade and River Monsters, which feels like a logical next step from Wild Kratts. LOL. I’m glad you found this post useful. I love celebrating my kids’ birthday and the Wild Kratts one was the best. =)
I’m curious about the animals. What company brought them?
Hi,
Thank you so much for posting all of these ideas! My son LOVES Wild Kratts and he is having a wild kratts party in a few weeks. I was just wondering where you got the (or did you make) the creature fact sheets?
Thanks!
Carrie
