19 Cool Ninja Turtle Party Ideas

If your kids have an upcoming birthday party then they’ve likely already made it clear what sort of theme they want it to use. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a theme that generations of kids have enjoyed, which means you’ll find all kinds of fun ways to bring this theme to life! Peerspace is one of the best places to find ideas on how to decorate, plan, and celebrate a themed party. So let us share a few of our favorite Ninja Turtle party ideas with you! 

1. Make Ninja Turtle party balloons

How creative are you feeling right now? We have some wonderful ideas for Ninja Turtle-themed party balloons you can make with tape, markets, and a few other accessories. These balloons are so fun the children attending the party will probably want to take them home. If you have places set for each child and know what their favorite Ninja Turtle is, you could have a balloon that looks like that turtle set there, ready to greet them!

2. Send custom party invitations

If you’re going to have a themed party then let guests know in advance using custom party invitations. That way they can dress up in costume if they want and bring snacks or gifts that match the theme. Have you seen these editable birthday invitations from Etsy? You’ll even get a digital version to send to the phones of parents and neighbors if you don’t want to mail them off.

Before the invitations get mailed, however, you still need to choose a venue for the occasion. That’s where Peerspace comes in; as the nation’s leading online marketplace for event venue rentals, we have hundreds of spaces suitable for a children’s birthday party. This backyard venue in San Francisco, CA, is the perfect place to throw a birthday party using a few of our Ninja Turtle party ideas. 

3. Serve drinks in Ninja Turtle soda bottles

Here is a fun ninja turtle party idea that takes just minutes to put together. Grab some green soda bottles, remove the labels, and turn them into ninja turtles! All you need is colored tape and some googly eyes. You don’t have to use soda bottles; green glass cups or mugs would also work for these DIY ninja turtles.

4. Give out party ninja masks

Kids who love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are going to love party masks that let them pretend they are their favorite turtle for the day! You can provide pre-made masks from Etsy or make an event out of letting them make their own mask. A mask-making session also ensures everyone gets to be their favorite Ninja Turtle.

5. Make some Ninja Turtle shells for the kids

The shell is one of the hardest parts to pull off for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume. So how about turtle shells that are inexpensive and easy to make yourself? We like these turtle shells by Made With Happy using oven-roasting pans and yarn. Easy supplies to buy in bulk, if needed. 

Throwing a party for multiple kids? Then you’ll need these unique joint birthday party theme ideas to pull it off with ease!

6. Craft sewer slime to play with

Let’s not forget that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live deep in the sewers. Bring back that feel with some gooey sewer slime to play with! This is a DIY craft project you can make yourself and have ready for the party in advance. It only takes 3 or 4 ingredients to pull off and make amazing party favors to give out at the end of the festivities. 

7. Serve healthy Ninja Turtle smoothies

Children’s birthday parties can be heavy on sweets and fats, so how about a healthy addition to the party table? We love this recipe for green smoothies made from fruit and vegetables. You can make them into drinkable ninja turtles instead by adding a mask and googly eyes! 

8. Hold a Ninja Turtle costume contest

Themes like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are made even better when everyone comes dressed for the occasion! Kids and parents alike should make or rent a Ninja Turtle costume. Encourage everyone to participate by letting them know in advance there will be a costume contest for the best-dressed Ninja Turtle. You can even have a little prize for the winner, like a gift bag of party favors and a photo of them in costume! 

9. Bake some Ninja Turtle cookies

Creative bakers will get a lot of use out of this ninja turtle party idea! You can use Fruit by the Foot, frosting, and candy decorations to make ninja turtle cookies using recipes like this one. The total prep and cook time is under 30 minutes as well so they’re really easy to have ready for an upcoming birthday party!

10. Use Ninja Turtle cupcake toppers

If you don’t have time to bake your own Ninja Turtle-themed birthday goodies then how about a quick and easy way to make any snack match? Use Ninja Turtle cupcake toppers with the faces of each turtle! Etsy has everything you need to make instant Ninja Turtle cupcakes.

11. Watch some episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The classic hit TV show is a fun activity to include at a birthday party using this theme. So how about reserving a private screening room or movie theater where the kids can laugh and enjoy the show together? Peerspace has private screening rooms like this movie theater in San Francisco, CA, where you can show the TV shows or movies of your choice!

12. Make it a pizza party

We all know that pizza is what Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles loved to eat the most, right? That means pizza is a must-have for any party using this theme! If you want to get even more creative, try making your own Ninja Turtle-themed pizzas. Each Ninja Turtle has their own preference for pizza toppings so you can serve each one’s favorite pizza at your party.

These awesome pizza party ideas take this idea and run with it. Check them out!

13. Set up a pizza-making station

If you don’t want to order out then how about letting the kids make their own mini pizzas? A pizza bar or pizza station is the way to go here! You can make little pans of dough and have each kid add their favorite sauces and toppings. Once everyone has the pizza of their dreams, place them in a large oven. Play some games while the mini pizzas are baking, then take a break for lunch! 

14. Craft some pool noodle nunchucks

Toy weapons are challenging to make both realistic yet safe for kids. Fortunately, you can achieve both of these goals if you use materials like pool noodles. Have you seen these DIY pool noodle nunchucks by Made With Happy? You can please all of the little Michaelangelos at the party by having a few sets available for them to flail around! 

15. Serve snacks from a metal barrel table

Don’t use ordinary tables if you don’t have to! Try building something unique as a Ninja Turtle party idea, like using metal barrels with a tabletop placed over them. You can paint the barrels to look like containers of radioactive sewer slime like these! The brick-patterned tabletop is just as fitting and plays right into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party theme.
