Birthday is a month away but this past weekend we celebrated Kids birthday as school is about to close and all his friends will disappear for the summer. We celebrated on Saturday morning, sharing it with his classmate who is just a week older than him, so also has a summer holiday birthday.
Since this past December vacation, when he watched his first Star Wars movie, Kid has been obsessed. And so Star Wars birthday party it was. And here is what I and he made and did over the past month to get out of my funk:
Activity corner - White cards, cut up foam pieces (and crayons/ pencils not in the picture)
R2D2 lantern and tie fighter banners
I was going to use this for a 4 corners dancing game (think gentler, no shove version of musical chairs) but we ran out of time so it ended up being wall art. I gave 2 to the kid we shared the party with as a reminder of the day and friendship he and and my son shared. He is leaving permanently for another continent this summer.
Yes I know the spelling is incorrect. I was following my child's bidding (he is at an age where he 'knows EVERYTHING'). Took nothing away from the tasty-ness of eating the 'very evil Stormtroopers'.
Quick glance at the table - White table cloth and silver star confetti, empty boxes wrapped in silver wrapping paper and on them homemade fake Lego lands created from fake terrarium materials.
Small abstract Star Wars foam art. You will see them behind the table on the wall, scattered around the tie fighters banners.
Star Wars equivalent of 'pin the tail on the donkey'. Each kid gets a triangular 'Star destroyer' with their name on it. The back has double sided tape. So blindfold, spin around to make them dizzy and then tape peeled and stick. 4 winners - one for each circled Star.
OMG this is so awesome. Mind mindbogglingly so. Well done you.
ReplyDeleteWow! All of it looks so well thought off
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you take these efforts for my bday when we were young!
PS: I want a light saber too!
All I can say is this is super creative. Every mother needs to spend time with her kids to ensure they explore their creative side. I remember doing so many crafty things with my mom as a child.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a kid, I'd want you to plan EVERY party!
