Ni Hao, Kai Lan is a show for preschoolers which airs on Nickelodeon.  ‘Ni Hao’ means ‘Hello’ in Mandarin Chinese.  The show stars Kai Lan. Kai Lan is a young girl who shares her Mandarin Chinese culture during her playtime adventures with her animal friends.  During the show, Kai Lan speaks both English and Mandarin Chinese and she and her friends partake in a lot of singing and dancing.

If your child loves this show, a Kai Lan birthday would be a great party theme for their next celebration.  This post will share many unique birthday ideas that will make your Kai Lan  party a hit.

Start of your party planning by purchasing a  Kai Lan party invitation like the one pictured above.  These Kai Lan invitations are offered  in many fun designs.   There are coordinating party supplies available including thank you cards, return address labels, and gift tag stickers.    Ebay sellers also offer a nice selection of personalized Kai Lan invitations .   These invitations come in many different styles and some can even be customized with your child’s photo.
