Whether you stay simple or go elaborate, one thing is for sure: the bright colors will automatically bring a smile to your child's face. And that's really what it's all about isn't it? Enjoy your party and these Rainbow Party Ideas!
Here are some of the different things we did for our rainbow party. If there is a link then it means I also have a blog post that explains the how-to aspect.
Decor:
Tissue Paper Pom Poms
Streamer Curtain
I attached streamers of various colors to some packing tape and hung it up using thumbtacks.
Food:
We had a sweets table at our party and I made sure to have plenty of candy on hand. I tried to buy candy that was colorful and then sort it by color to make more of an impact. I found some glass jars (the type pretzel sticks might come in) a few months ago at a yard sale and used those to display the goodies. For the day of the party I added some scoops I found in the kitchen section at Target.

Candy Balls
Sprinkle Marshmallows
These were super easy to make and a big favorite with the kids. Get some lollipop sticks and place a marshmallow on top. Dip the top part of the marshmallow in water and roll in sprinkles. Display in some Styrofoam. That's it, you're done!
Rainbow Swirl Lollipops:
I got these at Oriental Trading and tried to dress them up by placing them in styrofoam and covering the stryrofoam with some rainbow party streamers.
Goodie Bags
I ordered some rainbow colored plastic bags from Oriental Trading and they worked out perfectly especially after we added our stickers. To print out these stickers for yourself click here.
For the inside I ordered some rainbow Twizzlers online and got some rainbow pads and crayons from Oriental Trading.
