Updated: Nerf Party Ideas With Free Printables

More Party Ideas? April 1, by Shellie Wilson.

Did you know NERF stands for Non-Expanding Recreational Foam, as in what the bullets are made of. Did you know that Hasbro has a Nerf testing facility where it has recreated the most popular “Nerf environments” that allow their research and development team to test prototypes?

This Nerf party was lots of fun to create. We had blue and orange themed food and used targets as a focal point. We spent lots of weeks collecting boxes to use as barricades. I also used  bulk bullets from our party store and guns off Amazon. We played capture the flag and various other shooting games.

The Nerf guns were the main “game” and the kids made their own fun without having to have too many “supervised” activities. We did give them all a rundown on rules before they started and made them wear safety goggles at all times. I have now updated this post to include the free Nerf printables I created for my son’s party. I hope you like these printables. You can save and download them here. I printed my labels on cardstock and then laminated them.

UPDATED: We have updated this NERF post to include more free printables with this PDF of printable nerf targets, nerf games and more. You can buy some amazing Nerf Target Backdrop too and we also sell

Printable Nerf Targets_ 

Nerf Targets_Set 1_Part3_sold (2)We coated the boxes in blue and orange camo with spray paint.

These folded cardboard huts were used for hiding in during “war games”.

These wrist bullet holders are available here as are the safety goggles shown below. The kids were also able to take these home so they were also the favor.

The take-home gift was a rolled-up target also bought online but we now offer a free printable target in the printable list above!

Thanks to creative grandparents we were able to have a splash-em board, which was lots of wet fun.

Updated! Check out this NERF HOUSE creation!

We are in absolute love with this NERF house! Have your kids grown up and you don’t know what to do with their old playhouse anymore? See what a Facebook reader Melanie S did to theirs! She upgraded the playhouse into a NERF house, complete with AMMO station. How cool would it be to hang out in this house?

Thanks for sharing your images Melanie, it is such an inspiration. Want to see more photos inside the Nerf house? Check them out here. 

How to use these printables?

All of the free printables below can be printed on a normal home printer without any graphic skills needed. Simply, right click, save and print out the party decorations and food labels.

Pop on over to the blog Pickle Bums to see how to print with nuts and bolts along with a great recycled material to use for the stamp pad.
