My son had some friends over to celebrate his 10th birthday Skylander-style!
When the boys arrived, they started out by making their own bag clips using shrink plastic. We set out some Skylander books and posters for them to trace, or they could design their own.
The boys really got into this activity! After the charms were shrunk, we added the carabiners so they could be used as bag clips on the boys' backpacks. I think they turned out super cute!
The bag clips went into their favor bags. I found blue lunch sacks and stuck a label on them to make the favor bags. The label says "Skylanders: Aaron's Adventure" which matched the invitations and the banner. The bags also contained some gold coin candy, a pencil, a bouncy ball and some Starburst candies. (To see my post about making the birthday banner, click here.)
The boys then went downstairs to play some games. I didn't get many pictures of the games but I'll try to describe them.
1. Wrecking Ball's Tongue - I purchased some Skylander's trading cards and some sticky hands party favors at Target. We scattered the cards on the floor and the boys tried to pick them up using the sticky hands. They got to keep the cards as party favors.
2. Trigger Happy's Target Practice - We lined up some stuffed balls and the boys took turns shooting at them with a nerf gun.
3. SkyStones - We made our own version of the Sky Stones mini game in the Skylanders video game. My husband cut some wood blocks and drew arrows on them with a sharpie. He drew a grid on some paper for the playing surface and they used different colored chips to indicate which stones they had won.
After the games, it was time for cake!
Of course, I had to attempt a Portal of Power cake since it was a Skylanders party. I personally think fondant tastes terrible, so I used buttercreme icing and made a cake that was more "suggestive" of a Portal of Power rather than an exact representation. The boys knew what it was and it tasted good!
