Frozen Birthday Party Ideas
Invitations and Decorations
Frozen party invitations and decorations set the enchanting tone for your celebration. From Frozen-themed invitations that capture the magic to stunning snowflake decorations, create an immersive wintry atmosphere that will transport your little guests to the beloved world of Elsa, Anna, and their Frozen friends.
Start with Frozen-themed invitations to set the tone for the celebration. These movie ticket-style invitations can be customized with your specific party details and they're great whether your party involves a movie screening or not!
Create a Frozen look with snowflake decorations - this website shows you how to craft your own snowflakes with cardstock and hang them. She uses Cricut, which I would highly recommend, but you can also purchase snowflakes already cut out from the Dollar Store or Amazon.
Hang a balloon garland in Frozen colors to add a touch of whimsy to the party space. You can follow this affiliate link to this set I found on Amazon, or gather your own. If you want a balloon arch that will really make an impact, you'll need a LOT of balloons.
Decorate the venue with fake snow or snowflake decorations for a wintry atmosphere. This tutorial will show you how to make your own snow using baking soda and shaving cream. You could also buy a few bags of "snow" like they sell at Christmas-time. A handy shop-vac works wonders when it's clean-up time, by the way. LOL.
Add a thematic touch to your party table! Here I used Cricut to cut out some glittery snowflakes and bejeweld them with stickers. Then, I assembled the decoration on top of a toothpick for Frozen-themed cupcake toppers. Of course, they work great in mini chocolate cream pies, too.
Food and Treats
Enchant party guests with these frozen-themed treat ideas. From snowflake-shaped treats to a castle cake, delight your little guests with a scrumptious menu inspired by the beloved characters of Disney's Frozen.
If you like playing with fondant or marzipan, make these adorable Olaf cupcake toppers out of modeling chocolate or set up modeling clay and have party guests make their own little Olaf character!
Set up a dessert table adorned with themed treats and this show-stopping ice castle cake front and center.
Bake your own snowflake cake or add snowflake decorations to a bakery cake!
Make darling "Sven" cupcake toppers out of modeling sugar or fondant like we did with Olaf!
Offer a variety of Frozen-themed snacks, including snowflake-shaped cookies.
Is there anything cuter than these "melted Olaf" yogurt cups? No? I think every Frozen party should have melted snowman themed treats.
Make some Jello jigglers and cut out with cookie cutters or how easy is this idea? Simply cut into cubes and you have an on point "ice" cube jello snack.
Provide Frozen-themed paper plates and cups OR draw Olaf onto plain white cups to add an extra touch of magic to the table settings.
While you're making blue Jello, why not pour it into a bowl and showcase Olaf taking a dip?
Everyone loves a good snack mix. Here, they've mixed in some blue and white M&Ms or candies and presto, your snack mix coordinates with the Frozen theme.
For these Olaf graham cracker snacks, the author will walk you through every last step to make your own. There is a great picture tutorial on the post.
Prepare an ice cream sundae bar or a hot cocoa bar with various toppings, including marshmallows, chocolate chips, and snowflake sprinkles. If it's close to the holidays, you might even be able to find snowflake-shaped marshmallows, too!!
Have you made popcorn balls before? Here, they add in some snowflake sprinkles, blue and white candies and turn these tasty treats into popcorn snowballs!
Continue the winter wonderland ambiance with snowflake-shaped pizza or a snowman pizza for a frozen twist on classic party food.
Who can resist turning their ice pitcher into a melted snowman water station complete with a carrot for Olaf's nose. Here's an easy how-to.
You can turn just about any favorite party food into a Frozen theme by adding a bit of color or some snowflake sprinkles. Try these ombre rice krispie treats!
Party Favors and Accessories
From Frozen-themed jewelry and crowns to personalized goodies, make sure your little guests leave the party with a touch of the frosty magic and happy memories that will last long after the celebration ends.
If you or Grandma loves to sew, this Elsa Dress tutorial is easy peasy and will make your little one feel like a QUEEN. An absolute necessity for your little one if you love to make costumes like me.
My kids absolute favorite takeaway from our party were the party favor jars of GAK – I labeled each mason jar SNOWK because I have no imagination and snow+gak=snowk. I added peppermint extract, blue and clear glitter, and blue food coloring (in some). Big hit, BIG!! I never knew how easy GAK is to make, but you can find the recipe at the link.
One of my favorite projects we ever did, these crowns made from lace and starch will be a huge hit with your little princess.
Making Frozen-themed necklaces using little toy animals was one of my favorite crafts ever. If you have older party guests, this might even make a great activity for doing during the party. I have a full picture tutorial for you if you follow the link.
Here is another tutorial with a fun way to make snow globe rings! I can't even stand the cuteness. I want one for myself.
This snowflake wand is so cute and the author shows pictures of the steps needed to make one from a wooden dowel and ribbon.
My girls would have loved to craft some snowflake barrettes or hair clips using felt and jewels.
Here is another adorable sewing project - with just a few stitches, you can make an Anna cloak using fleece, pom pom trim, and some lace.
This project might be tough to make for all the guests, but if you're having a pool party, surely the party girl or boy needs an Olaf hooded towel! Amber has the full tutorial for you.
Activities and Games

I used this tutorial for sponge water bombs to make snowflake shaped water bombs! Since our party was in the summer, these kind of snowball fight was loads of fun in the pool! Adults and kids loved these.
Set up a crafts station and use this tutorial to make Olaf finger puppets. She shows that they also make great pencil toppers when not in play and we love any excuse to use googly eyes!

Offer a DIY Frozen-themed jewelry-making station using beads, charms, and string.
Printable coloring pages and worksheets are always a hit - Sara has you covered with a whole host of activity sheets.
The glitter in this Frozen silly putty is absolutely magical! Teach the kids to make the silly putty as a party activity, set some out for sensory play, or simply bag up batches for the kids to take home!
Offer a DIY snow globe station where little ones can create their own magical Frozen scenes like these glowing terrariums.
Set up an indoor snowball fight using soft, plush snowballs or these crocheted snowballs (use something soft insde) for safe and fun play. You could also use them for a snowball toss - a twist on the classic cornhole game!
DIY Pull sleds for ice blocks is genius. These look pretty simple and inexpensive to build with a huge party fun payout!
Use toilet paper tubes for this fun Olaf craft.
While you can buy a carboard Olaf on Amazon, this tutorial will show you how to make one yourself for just $5 out of foam board, construction paper, and spray adhesive. This would be fantastic for a game of Pin the Nose on Olaf!

Stephanie says
I love all these cute ideas!! I will definitely be using some of these great ideas for my son’s 2nd birthday party with an Olaf theme. I do have one question with the melted Olaf what did you use for the nose & how did you make the arms? (Thank you so much!!)
JJ says
I made the Olaf nose out of a cut in half orange jelly bean, we made the arms with chocolate dipped pretzels and instead of making Snowk we put the melted Olaf cupcakes in small mason jars with a plastic spoon attached to the ouside of the jar with blue raffia. Thanks so much for your free ideas. How will you ever top the last party.
