How To Create A PAW Patrol Birthday Party At Home

Planning a PAW Patrol birthday? Use our step by step guide for decorations, table styling, kid friendly games, snack ideas and a tidy run sheet that keeps the party running smoothly.

If your little pup knows every hero in Adventure Bay, a PAW Patrol birthday is the perfect theme. This complete guide shows you how to plan the day, style the table, run games that keep kids busy, and stick to a sensible budget. All ideas work in Aussie homes and backyards, and everything is easy to source from Who Wants 2 Party.

Party colours and easy decorations

Start with a bright colour palette inspired by the team. Think police blue, fire engine red, sunny yellow and a touch of pink for Skye. Build your backdrop with a sky or city scene and add a paw print trail that leads to the party table. Keep it simple and photo friendly.

  • Backdrop idea: sky scene, city skyline or a simple blue sheet with paper clouds
  • Paw prints: cut black paw shapes and tape them from the entry to the table
  • Balloons: mix character designs with stars, hearts and a giant age number
  • Table accents: confetti, ribbons and a centrepiece made from toy vehicles

Party colours and easy decorations

Invites and dress code

Keep invites bright and bold. Ask guests to arrive in pup patrol colours or add simple dress ups at the door. Paper badges, cardboard hats and plastic firefighter helmets help kids feel part of the squad from the moment they arrive.

Set a pawsome party table

Layer a solid colour tablecover with themed plates and napkins. Add a runner in a contrasting colour, then anchor the look with a toy fire truck or police car. Keep food labels fun and easy to read.

  • Place settings: stack dinner and dessert plates, wrap cutlery in a napkin and tie with ribbon
  • Centrepiece: toy vehicle parked on a cake stand with paw print confetti
  • Candles: match the age number and colours for a tidy cake moment

Essentials to add to cart: Plates, Napkins, Tablecovers, Candles & Cake Decor.

Games that keep pups busy

Find Chase’s Badge

A classic pin style game. Print a large poster of Chase and cut sticker badges. Blindfold, spin, and let kids place the badge. Closest to the correct spot wins a small prize.

Rescue Mission Relay

Set cones or cushions as obstacles. Kids carry a plush pup to the “tower,” ring a bell, and return. Adjust for age by changing distance and obstacles.

Pup Training Course

A mini obstacle course with a crawl under a table bridge, hops through hoops, a balance along a taped line, and a high five at the finish.

Piñata Time

A pull string piñata suits mixed ages and keeps it safe. Fill with wrapped treats and mini toys.

Snack ideas with paw themed labels

  • Pup corn bowls
  • Marshall’s Firehouse fruit cups with berries and watermelon
  • Chase’s Badge cookies with a star on top
  • Skye’s Cloud cupcakes with pastel icing
  • Rocky’s Recycle friendly trail mix in paper cups
  • Rescue Fuel drink jugs with paper straws

Photo moments that feel easy

Set a small selfie zone with a simple backdrop, a few props and good light. Snap a group photo before cake so you capture every guest while energy is high. Print one favourite shot after the party and pop it in the thank you notes.

Party bags kids will actually use

Pack favour cups or bags with stickers, stamps, pencils and a mini notepad for mission logs. Add a small treat and a name tag for easy hand out at home time.
