Noah's Ark decorations, so inviting that you'll sail over two-by-two to celebrate. Before you gather the animals and get ready for the flood, check out these Noah's Ark decoration ideas.

• If at all possible, hold the party on a boat. This "prop" will immediately set the tone for your Noah's Ark birthday party.
• If a boat just isn't available, then make a huge ark that covers one of your party room walls. Be sure to add windows to your ark, so you can place a photo of each child attending the party in one of the windows. They will all enjoy seeing themselves "floating" in the ark! Of course, no ark is complete unless you fill it with animals. Attach animal mylar balloons, two of each animal type, to your ark. Finish it off by making wavy blue water from construction paper or cardstock and glue to the ark's bottom. Add a colorful rainbow and a white dove in the sky.
• Make various Noah's Ark-related signs and hang them on the walls or place them on yard stakes and line the walkway. Have them say things like "Caution, Flooding Ahead", "Welcome to (child's Name)'s Ark", "Animal Crossing", etc.
• Cut various animal shapes (two of each animal) from craft foam or construction paper, using animal stencils as your guide and hang them from your ceiling with fishing line.
• Noahs Ark decorations would not be complete without an array of color demonstrated by turning your entire ceiling into a delightful rainbow. Cover it with rows of twisted streamers in all the various colors of the rainbow -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
• Accent your rainbow ceiling further and bring the splendor of this theme to life. Add large clusters of balloons with curling ribbons cascading off them in any combination of the rainbow colors at all the corners of the room.
• Decorate your doorways and archways with streamers by alternating the various colors of the rainbow across the openings.
• Create "rainbow" placemats by gluing ark-shaped pieces of construction paper in the various rainbow colors onto a solid piece of paper. Laminate for stability. This also makes for a great party favor.
• Noahs Ark decorations must include a special centerpiece. Cut the top off a clean 1/2 gallon milk carton. Cover it with wrapping paper. Decorate with Noah's Ark stickers, or download pictures of Noah's Ark characters and animals and glue to the sides. Fill with a weighted bouquet of Mylar Noah's Ark balloons and colorful tissue paper, and accent with curling ribbons.
