A luau is a Hawaiian feast that features many types of food, entertainment and music. A luau theme is a fun way to make a summer children's party fresh and exciting. Providing luau themed crafts for the kids to work on helps promote a festive and entertaining atmosphere for the party.
Lei
Make Hawaiian lei to wear during the party. Cut colored plastic straws into 1-inch pieces. Cut craft foam or paper into flower shapes and make a hole in the middle with a hole punch. String the straw pieces and flowers alternately onto a string or cord. Tie off the string to make a necklace.
Tissue Paper Hair Flowers
Stack four pieces of tissue paper measuring 8 inches by 16 inches. You can use multiple colors or a single color. Fold the stack of tissue paper lengthwise, like an accordion, and tie a piece of string or thread around the middle. Tie a bobby pin or barrette to the string. Fan out and scrunch the tissue paper to look like a flower and pin it into your hair.
Seashell Mirrors or Picture Frames
Provide small mirrors or picture frames with very basic, blank frames. Glue seashells onto the frames. Collect shells from a beach or buy them from a craft store.
Fiji Fans
Purchase woven fans from a craft or imports store. Decorate them with assorted craft supplies such as beads, shells, glitter, craft foam and plastic craft gems.
Flip-Flops
Have each guest decorate a pair of flip-flop sandals. Provide craft supplies, including glue, glitter, silk or plastic flowers, plastic gems, feathers and seashells.
