4 Messy Spring Carnival Booths
Updated Feb 2019
Looking to make a mess at this Spring's big outdoor fundraiser? Try some of these FUN booths kids love to take a part of!
1) Pie the Principal: Pie tins filled with whip cream or pudding make this booth fast, messy fun for the whole family. Typically as a reward for a certain amount of money raised or a raffle, principals and other school staff will have just as much fun as students who get to throw pies at them!
2) Confetti Eggs: Carefully hollowed egg shells filled with colorful paper make for an explosive, fun carnival booth. Kids love to buy the eggs and throw them at their friends; they break easily and release all the confetti inside. Game instructions from CarnivalSavers.com HERE
3) Balloon Dart Art: Help kids create a masterpiece at this year's carnival with Dart Art! By filling balloons with colorful paint, tacking them to a large canvas and letting kids throw darts to pop them, a wonderful work of art is created that can be hung up at the school. Instructions and ideas from Craft-Austin.com HERE
4) Dunking Booth: Watching the principal or your favorite teacher get dunked is probably an all-time favorite for kids. If renting a whole booth isn't in the budget, however, consider an inexpensive alternative where kids get to soak big sponges and throw them at unassuming victims 10 or 15 feet away.
