I made some
super hero action words to decorate the food table and also on the cardboard buildings we used for a photo booth type display. I lucked out since his party was in October, and there were Halloween decorations in all the stores. I purchased some foam bats and Martha Stewart bat garland from Jo Anns as well.
You can't really see them in the pictures, but I used these
Lego heads made from baby food jars around the table.
I matched up the jars with the clever food labels I came up with. {Okay, maybe they were not super clever, but I had to match them up to the food that I was planning on making.}
I took a Batman action figure, placed him in a 9 x 13 baking sheet, filled it with water and froze it. The kids had to unfreeze Batman with squirt guns. This game kept the kids occupied for at least 30 minutes. This may have to be a new staple for party games, just adapted to a new theme. I found the idea for this
here.
No. 2: Manbat Bean Bag Toss
I sewed some
super hero bean bags to use in this game. Then I drew Manbat onto a piece of posterboard, colored him in and attached him to a box I had laying around the house behind the hole to hold him up.
No. 3: Pin the Bat Symbol on Batman
I just purchased this game from Party City. It is your typical 'Pin the tail on the donkey' game but with a Batman style twist.
No. 4: Super Hero Photo Booth
I had this one all ready to go, but didn't end up getting great pictures because we waited until the end of the party to try to take them. I recommend if you try to take staged photos you do it at the beginning when each guest arrives, especially if you are dealing with smaller kids.
I hung a piece of blue fabric that looked like the sky on our fence. I created some skyline buildings using black and white poster board and some more of the action signs.
No. 5: Pinata

| My little daughter had to be like the big kids and have the blindfold on! It was so funny! |
The Treat Bags
Each child got a
super hero cape,
bat mask, glow bracelet, bat ring and a 3D Lego sticker. The capes I sewed myself and I also made the bat masks.

| I had to use so much tape to hang the sign because it ended up being so windy the day of the party. |
The party ended up being so much fun. I think everyone had a good time and I am so happy to have done this for my son.
