Incredibles Party

For my Sons 4^th birthday he wanted an Incredibles birthday party, and this year we decided to have his party at his play-school. I made his invitation using my trusty computer. The wording was… Dear Incredible (child’s name), You are invited to an Incredible party at my Incredible school!!

The cake was an ordinary sponge cake, and the Incredibles family picture was printed onto rice-paper.

The boxes were filled with a few goodies to eat and an apple juice each. To make the Party boxes, we had pasted pictures of Elastagirl on them and cut off her feet. We then punched holes where her feet should be on the box (see pic) and threaded stockings through the holes to make longer stretchy legs. The "legs" were then stretched around the box and tied. The feet we had cut off were then pasted on the end of the stockings. It Looked very cute and the kids had fun trying to untangle her legs!

 

After most of the contents of the party boxes were devoured, the children met the Villan’s big bad robot in the form of a Piñata!!

Making a piñata is time-consuming but lots of fun especially if the kids help! To make your own piñata: Inflate a balloon and attach a rope to it. Paper Mache the balloon, and remember to make it nice and strong at the top where the rope and balloon are attached together. You will add the sweets later, so leave a small area open at the side or near the bottom for first. When totally dry, pop the balloon and then add the sweets, use individually wrapped sweets to fill the piñata especially if you are still going to paint it. Paper Mache the open section closed and leave to dry. Once completely dry – paint and decorate it.
