20 Creative 4th Birthday Party Themes For Your Little One

We want our four-year-olds to have as much fun enjoying the party as we did planning it. One of the best ways to ensure your kid’s birthday party is a success is by choosing a theme to tie it all together! Will you send out some four-nado warnings? Let them be four-ever young? Explore 20 of Peerspace’s 4th birthday party themes and pick one that best fits your youngster.

1. Remind your kid that they are 4ever sweet

Let her know she will always be 4ever sweet, no matter how old she grows with this birthday party theme! We want the venue to have a real Candyland feeling. You can make that real with an over-the-top cake decorated with ice cream cones, massive candy pieces, and bright pastel frosting!

2. Let them be four-ever young

We don’t want our kids to ever grow up. They will anyway but we can enjoy the years we have at their littlest with a four-ever young birthday. This party theme is best held in a boho-chic venue, or a venue you’ve re-designed using boho-chic decor, like an open-concept event loft. Peerspace has plenty of event venues just waiting for your signature creative touch, like this flexible event space in Chicago, IL!

3. Send out some four-nado warnings

Let everyone know a four-nado is around the corner with some custom 4-year-old birthday invitations like these from Etsy! A four-nado party theme might mean a storm cloud outfit for the birthday kid or a cake with a twister rampaging across it.

4. Bring Bluey and Bingo to the birthday party

Bluey the Blue Heeler is the cartoon many four-year-olds turn to when choosing a birthday party theme. So why not make it happen with a Bluey Birthday party? Some decorative cutouts of Bluey and Bingo are a good beginning. For more tips, check out Peerspace’s Bluey party ideas and food ideas to really excite your four-year-old!

5. Let them be four-ever wild with a jungle party

Let your little animal get back to nature with a four-ever wild jungle birthday party! Be sure to ask them which animal is their favorite so you’ll be able to place lions, giraffes, or hippos all over the venue. Dress the birthday kid up in safari clothes or animal masks so they feel right at home in your jungle birthday venue!

These fun-filled pool party ideas for kids may be the perfect accompaniment to your jungle party. Check them out!

6. Head to the park with a made four adventuring party

Is your four-year-old a true adventurer? Celebrate his or her love of discovery with a “made four adventuring” party! Take the kids to a local park that they love. If it’s an indoor park, great venues are trampoline parks, indoor pool facilities, or obstacle courses. Best of all, many indoor party venues for kids have private rooms you can reserve for the day!

7. Get four and fancy this year

Four and fancy. Four and fabulous. Celebrate the cheeky, un-selfconscious style of your youngsters with some truly bold fashion choices! Tiaras, leopard print shirts, crowns, backward hats, feather boas…Let your kids live large as they celebrate being four.

8. Discover the magic of an enchanted four-est

Discover a whimsical world of mushrooms, fairies, and magic with an enchanted four-est birthday party! This is a 4th birthday party theme you could add to a party with princesses, dragons, and other fantasy themes as well. 

An enchanted four-est party does best with an outdoor venue, like a garden space, something that Peerspace has hundreds of. Have you seen our lush garden event space in Oakland, CA? The garden beds and fruit trees are perfect for an enchanted forest theme; simply add some cute signs and decorations like giant mushrooms and gnomes to make it your own!

9. Bring all of the fruit over for a Tutti 4-rutti birthday party

Celebrate your child’s four-year milestone with fresh and colorful fruit! A Tutti 4-rutti birthday is a deep dive into the fruit bowl with appetizers, snacks, and a cake to match. This party theme also includes healthy snacks like smoothies and slices of apple and watermelon.

10. Take the kids out to jump 4 joy

We wish we had the energy of a four-year-old! Let your birthday kid and their friends get as much out as they like with a Jump 4 Joy birthday theme. Set up trampolines and a huge bouncy castle where they can safely celebrate 4 years on Earth. Jumping games for kids like a sack race, leapfrog, or bunny hop make this theme even more exciting.

11. Roar four a dinosaur birthday party

Roar! He’s Four! Dinosaurs are cool, no matter how old you are, but we’d be hard-pressed to beat a child’s enthusiasm for them. Your 4-year-old probably already has a favorite dinosaur. So be sure to include it in the decorations, game, and birthday cake! Use some of Peerspace’s dinosaur party ideas and food ideas to bring this theme to life.

12. Enjoy their youth with a “4 Goodness Sake, Donut Grow Up!” party

Your kids won’t stay young forever, but at least you have plenty of years to enjoy them! Smile and celebrate their 4th year on Earth with a donut party. Donuts are as tasty as birthday cake, ice cream, or other traditional birthday snacks. Plus they look amazing, especially as decorations like party plates and balloons!

13. Let them know they’re Un-four-gettable

Your four-year-old is special, no matter how old they are. Remind them and everyone else just how un-four-gettable they really are for their birthday party! One way to use this theme is by setting up a photo station. You can then celebrate their uniqueness with fun photo props the birthday child can choose from!

14. Always reach four the stars, kid

We all want our kids to make their dreams come true. Start encouraging them right away and help them Reach Four The Stars on their fourth birthday party! This can be a space-themed party, with stars, planets, and astronauts. Or you can celebrate their stardom for the day, making the birthday kid feel like a real celebrity.

15. Go groovy with a Flower Power Party

Celebrate peace and love with a 70s-style flower power party! Another title for this theme could be “Four-ever Groovy,” if you really miss this colorful era. Set up a decorative VW van, string some flower garlands about the venue, and have your kids dress groovy with some little bell bottoms and headbands.

16. Be superheroes at a Fantastic Four party

The Fantastic Four aren’t as popular as Superman or Spiderman, but they’re still classic superheroes that you can build a 4th birthday party theme with. Keep “Fantastic Four” as the general theme and let everyone invited dress up as their superhero or heroine of choice!

17. Throw a sports party with Score! I’m Four!

Want to get your little guy or gal even more excited about soccer, football, hockey, and other sports? Use Score! I’m Four! as your exciting 4th birthday party theme! Decorate the venue with sports items like soccer ball garlands and a football cake. Arrange some safe sporting activities as well like chasing a ball or playing catch with Mom and Dad.

18. Pet animals on the four-m

Want to bring a little rustic charm to your 4-year-old’s birthday party theme? Make it a four-m life party with tractors, hay bales, and red barns for decor! If your kid really loves animals then think about hiring a petting zoo with miniature horses, pigs, and goats to interact with during the four-m party.

19. Celebrate Level 4 with a Mario birthday party

Four is definitely old enough to enjoy the Super Mario video game. If they’ve already decided they want to be Mario, Luigi, or Princess Peach for the day, then a Super Mario birthday theme is what you need. Let Peerspace help with our Mario birthday party ideas!

20. Get messy as we all scream four an ice cream theme

Birthday cake is so ordinary…How about an ice cream party instead? Ice cream can get messy. But what better way for every four-year-old to celebrate their uniqueness than by choosing their favorite flavors and toppings for the ultimate ice cream sundae?
