How many of you have a little superhero in training at home? We definitely do and thought what better way to celebrate a special birthday with a Superhero themed pool party!
The first important item to check off your list is those superhero loot bags (the best part right?!). Try to stay away from the small plastic toys that you can usually purchase from the Dollar Store – you would rather spend a small amount more to get a better item that a child will use for a longer time. I still headed to the Dollar Store and was able to pick up Spiderman frisbees, stickers, bouncing balls, water balls (to coincide with the pool theme). I also picked up some gummies from the Bulk Barn.
I purchased green pails that the children could re-use over again at the beach or in their backyard. They also hold all the loot perfectly as well.
Place the frisbee underneath the pail to help with the wrapping process. I tried every place I could think of but could not find the spider webs – you know the ones that come out at Halloween ever year?. This would have been perfect to wrap around the pail and frisbee.
For the special birthday superhero I wrapped his with ribbons and used an extra pail to give it some extra height.
Why not create an outside fun bucket with all your supplies for the party – think sparklers, pool balls, and glow sticks.This extra pail helps to keep you organized and gives the children a glimpse of all the fun to come.
Get creative with chalk since you are outside anyways. Put your child’s name, how old they are and even a special message for them. Let your creative juices flow – the sky is the limit!
Now here comes the fun part – decorating! I love this part the most and can spend hours decorating.
All those awesome superhero toys you have? Put them to good use as props on your table. I used Hulk Smash gloves to give an extra punch to the the table set up.
Display the treats loud and proud – what child doesn’t love seeing all the goodies to come? Spiderman takes front and centre on the cake. Cupcakes with lollipops and swirly candles give an extra little flair.
I hope your little superhero has a fantastic party! What are your favourite themed parties for children?
