A Cocomelon Party is the perfect theme for toddlers and young children, especially those who love the fun, catchy songs and colorful characters from the popular show. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just want to host a fun playdate, a Cocomelon party is sure to be filled with joy, laughter, and delightful memories. Here’s how to plan the ultimate Cocomelon-themed party:
1. Invitations
- Cocomelon Character Invitations: Use invitations featuring the main characters from the show, like JJ, Mommy, Daddy, YoYo, and TomTom. You can even design invitations to look like Cocomelon’s signature watermelon face.
- Musical Invitations: For an interactive touch, send out musical invitations that play one of the show’s famous songs when opened. You could also design invites with a “musical notes” theme to reflect the musical nature of Cocomelon.
- DIY Invitations: You could also make cute, handmade invitations using watermelon-themed paper and adding character stickers to represent the Cocomelon theme.
2. Venue and Decorations
- Cocomelon Color Scheme: The color scheme should revolve around bright, bold colors like red, green, yellow, and blue, inspired by the watermelon and characters in the show.
- Watermelon-Themed Decor: Decorate the venue with watermelon slices, balloons, and circular designs to mimic the watermelon shape. You could also use green and red decorations to reflect the show’s primary color palette.
- Character Cutouts: Set up large cutouts of Cocomelon characters or posters around the venue to make guests feel like they’re part of the Cocomelon world.
- Balloons: Create a festive entrance with a balloon arch made up of red, green, and yellow balloons. You can also have Cocomelon character balloons or watermelon-shaped balloons to enhance the theme.
- Table Settings: Use Cocomelon plates, cups, napkins, and tablecloths. You can also have character-shaped table centerpieces or small figurines.
- Backdrop for Photos: Create a Cocomelon-themed photo booth with a colorful backdrop, including images of the Cocomelon characters and a watermelon design.
3. Dress Code
- Cocomelon Costumes: Encourage the little guests to come dressed as their favorite Cocomelon characters. Provide props like JJ hats or watermelon costumes for kids who may not come in theme.
- Character Shirts: Consider providing the children with Cocomelon-themed T-shirts to wear during the party. These could feature JJ, TomTom, YoYo, or any of the beloved characters.
4. Food & Drinks
The food at a Cocomelon party should be both fun and child-friendly, with lots of colorful, easy-to-eat snacks and treats!
Appetizers & Finger Foods

5. Activities and Entertainment
Keep the kids entertained with fun, interactive, and age-appropriate activities!
Cocomelon Sing-Along
- Since Cocomelon is a musical show, a sing-along session to favorite songs like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, “The Wheels on the Bus”, or “Bingo” would be a hit. Provide microphones or props like mini tambourines to encourage the children to participate.
Cocomelon Dance Party
- Host a dance party with the children’s favorite Cocomelon songs! You can also teach them simple dance moves to some of the more popular tunes, creating a little “performance” with the group.
Character Meet-and-Greet
- If possible, have a Cocomelon mascot or character performer attend the party, giving kids the chance to meet and take photos with JJ or other characters from the show.
Cocomelon Crafts
- Set up a craft station where kids can create their own watermelon-themed crafts like Cocomelon masks, coloring sheets, or painted rock characters.
- Make Your Own Cocomelon Hats: Provide plain hats or paper crowns for kids to decorate with markers, glitter, and stickers to make their own Cocomelon character hats.
Cocomelon Coloring Station
- Provide Cocomelon coloring pages and crayons for the kids to color their favorite characters from the show.
Watermelon Toss
- Set up a watermelon toss game with soft, foam balls or even mini bean bags. Kids can throw the “watermelons” into a large bowl or container from a distance for fun prizes.
