The best birthday party ideas for kids aged 5 to 10 in Perth are the ones built around what your child loves right now. At Faire & Co, our art and craft parties in Kalamunda and North Perth are tailored to your child’s age and interests, and we plan, host and pack down, so you actually get to enjoy the day.
Whether your little one is turning 5, 7 or hitting the big 10, here are our favourite party ideas by age.
5 Year Old Birthday Party Ideas Perth
At 5, it’s all about colour, imagination and something fun to get their hands on. Think painting a mini canvas, decorating a treasure box or making a simple keepsake they can proudly carry home.
Why it works for 5 year olds: short, simple steps they can do themselves, which means big “I made this!” moments.
Our pick: the Get Crafty Party (2 hours). It’s the right length for this age, with plenty of time for the project, the photo wall and cake.
6 Year Old Birthday Party Ideas Perth
At 6, kids love making things to show off. Photo frames, bright painted keepsakes and anything with their name on it are always a hit.
Why it works for 6 year olds: they’re getting more independent and love the pride of making something that’s completely theirs.
Our pick: the Get Crafty Party, with a project themed around their current favourite thing.
7 Year Old Birthday Party Ideas Perth
At 7, slime is basically a personality. A slime party lets every guest create and customise their own batch with colours and sparkle, and it’s the kind of thing they’ll talk about for weeks.
Why it works for 7 year olds: it’s hands-on, social and gives every child something to take home.
Our pick: a slime-themed Get Crafty Party. We look after the setup and pack down, so no slime ends up on your couch.
8 Year Old Birthday Party Ideas Perth
By 8, kids are ready for a bit more of a creative challenge. Think painting fabric, designing dreamcatchers or making their own accessories.
Why it works for 8 year olds: a great mix of creativity and independence, with a project that feels a little bit grown up.
Our pick: the Arty Farty Party (3 hours) if they love art and want more time to create, or the Get Crafty Party for a shorter celebration.
9 Year Old Birthday Party Ideas Perth
At 9, kids love making things they can wear, use or share. Designing accessories, decorating tote bags or a slime session all go down well with this age.
Why it works for 9 year olds: they want something cool enough to keep, and they love doing it side by side with their friends.
Our pick: either party, tailored to your child. Every party includes a photo wall for group shots.
10 Year Old Birthday Party Ideas Perth
For 10 year olds, it’s all about the cool factor. Projects with a bit of style, time to chat with friends and a photo wall moment all tick the box.
Why it works for 10 year olds: it feels social and grown up, while still giving them something creative to be proud of.
Our pick: the Arty Farty Party (3 hours), which gives this age more time to create at a relaxed pace.
Girls birthday party ideas in Perth
Some of our most popular girls birthday party themes include slime, painting with plenty of sparkle, jewellery and accessories, and decorating keepsakes. That said, every one of our parties suits any child who loves to create. Tell us what your child is into and we’ll build the project around them.
