If you’re planning a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle birthday party and looking for some inspiration and free printables, you’ve come to the right place!
My son wanted to have a Ninja Turtle party, which was really fun because:
My husband had a Ninja Turtle party when he was little.
The 90’s are back, and as a 1990 baby, I’m loving every minute of it.
Planning the Ninja Turtle Decorations
I’ve been trying to use more recyclable and less wasteful materials for birthday parties, and since I have a printer that can print many, many sheets, I design a lot of printable decorations, including a pizza pendant banner, a turtle shell banner, a sewer lid on the ceiling with a ladder coming down the wall into the Ninja Turtle’s hideout, and homemade Ninja Turtle party hats.
I have some free downloads for you at the bottom of the post, so you can print out your own copies to use if you’re planning a Ninja Turtle Party!
Making a Ninja Turtle Cake
When I saw this cake I was hit by nostalgia at the star-tip style of decorating, it reminded me of the cakes my Mom made for us when we were little, so I set about creating my own version of it with Michelangelo, my son’s favourite Ninja Turtle. I made 3 layers of home made Fun-fetti cake, stacked them together, crumb coated it in a thin layer of icing, then drew the face design on with a toothpick. Once I had that done, I used black icing to pipe out the outlines and then got to work with a simple star-tip on my icing bag to fill in the cake.
It took longer than I expected but it was very straightforward and pretty easy. I absolutely love how cute it turned out, but mostly I loved how much James liked it!
The Perfect Ninja Turtle Party Menu
Since the Ninja Turtles love pizza, it made planning the food incredibly easy! We picked up pizza right before the party started and added a tray of fruit and a tray of vegetables. We went with green, orange and red produce to create Ninja Turtle faces, using whipping cream and ranch in little white bowls to create the eyes, with a raisin dropped in for the pupils. I love the Ninja Turtle fruit and veggie platters, I think they’re hiliarious!
We used some Margarita mix and citrus soda to make some green coloured punch and voila! Easiest party menu ever.
Ninja Turtle Birthday Party Games
We had this many party games:
I made origami Ninja stars and the kids had to try and aim and throw them into a bucket, they kept coming back to try again and again, a definite hit!
We printed off sewer lids out of cardstock and played “Musical Sewer Lids,” played just like musical chairs. Music and dancing is always a hit at a party.
I printed off some extra Ninja Turtle masks and taped them in hidden locations around the main floor, then the children had to find them. We played this one a few times through, they loved it!
We played “Pin the belt buckle on Michelangelo,” my kids request a version of this for every single birthday, nothing gets everyone giggling more than this one.
