Throwing a memorable 6th birthday party for your little one can be a delightful experience, especially when you have a fun theme like sweets and Squishmallows! With the right decorations and activities, you can create a magical day your child will cherish forever. Here’s how to plan the perfect party using supplies from Oriental Trading Company.


Set the Scene with Pastel Sweet Treat Decorations
Start by transforming your party space with pastel decorations. Think soft pinks, blues, yellows, and greens to create a sweet, whimsical atmosphere. I found a fantastic selection of pastel and vibrant sweet treat decorations, including:
- Balloons, plates, napkins, and cups: Mix and match pastel colors to create a vibrant, festive look.
- Tablecloths and centerpieces: Choose coordinating tablecloths and adorable centerpieces to tie everything together.
- Banners, garlands and signs: Welcome guests with a personalized banner and fun signs that celebrate your new 6 year old’s big day.





Create a DIY Ice Cream Bar
What’s sweeter than an ice cream bar? A DIY ice cream bar lets kids (and adults) get creative with their sweet treats. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Ice cream flavors: Offer a variety of flavors to please every palate. Consider classics like vanilla and chocolate, along with a few unique options.
- Toppings galore: Stock up on toppings like sprinkles, crushed cookies, candies, fruit, and whipped cream. Oriental Trading Company has a wide range of cute candy options that are perfect for topping ice cream.
- Syrups and sauces: Chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, and strawberry topping are must-haves.
- Bowls, spoons, and cones: Make sure you have plenty of colorful bowls, spoons, and cones for everyone to enjoy.
Set up the ice cream bar on a table with a pastel tablecloth and fun decorations to match your theme.

Incorporate Squishmallows into the Fun
No Squishmallows-themed party is complete without the Squishmallows themselves! Here’s how to incorporate them:
- Squishmallows decorations: Use Squishmallows plush toys as decorations around the party area. They can double as adorable centerpieces!
- Squishmallows party favors: Give each guest a small Squishmallows plush to take home. Oriental Trading Company offers bulk options that are perfect for party favors.
- Squishmallows activities: Plan a Squishmallows scavenger hunt or a fun game where kids can win Squishmallows-themed prizes.




Capture the Memories
Don’t forget to capture the special moments! Set up a photo booth with pastel backdrops and Squishmallows props. Oriental Trading Company has a variety of photo booth accessories that will make your pictures extra fun.
Throwing a sweet Squishmallows 6th birthday party is easy and enjoyable with the right supplies from Oriental Trading Company. With pastel decorations, a DIY ice cream bar, a delectable sweets table, and plenty of Squishmallows fun, your child’s birthday will be a hit!
Happy partying! 🎉🍦🧁
