Younger kids are generally easy to please when in the company of friends, especially when they’re celebrating a 6th birthday party. Some parents go all out with expensive blow up rentals for jumping, rent-a-clowns, and even ponies, but expensive activities aren’t necessary for a memorable time. Kids will have fun at a 6th birthday celebration on a budget as long as activities, simple prizes, and tasty treats are provided. Here you’ll find unique ideas for a 6th birthday party on a budget, and best of all, the kids are guaranteed to have a blast!
Treasure Hunt Party
A 6th birthday celebration with a treasure theme isn’t as expensive as it sounds, and 6 year olds absolutely love it. Everyone loves treasures, and they don’t have to be expensive to be valuable to kids. When selecting prizes for goodie bags and budget birthday party games, visit your local dollar store for deals on small toys and goodies that kids are sure to love.
It’s easy to create a treasure chest using a cheap foam cooler that’s ideal for storing goodie bags, wrapped treats, or cheap birthday party prizes. Spray paint a small foam cooler any color you prefer, line it with a towel, and embellish it with inexpensive faux gems. Have your child help you decorate the treasure chest with inexpensive items that will turn it into an impressive chest of treasures, and it won’t break your budget.
Fire Fighter Theme
When my friend’s son celebrated his 6th birthday party, guests were visited by the local fire chief and a fellow firefighter who arrived in a fire engine. Some fire departments are willing to do this for local kids, and they pass out safety information while talking to kids and parents about fire safety. This is perfect for those on a budget since it’s a free activity that will take up a considerable amount of time, and kids will be thrilled by the experience.

Kids love carnivals, and this is a fantastic theme for a 6th birthday celebration. Best of all, a carnival theme is ideal for a 6th birthday party on a budget because the games and food are inexpensive. Games typically played at a school fun fair are fun and very exciting, and they’re great for a 6th birthday party with a carnival theme.
