My 8yr old daughter wanted a Super Hero Birthday Party last November. I was stumped. How many 8yr old girls want a Super Hero Party. It had to be cool enough for both the boys and the girls. I'm a lazy party thrower and cheap too so this is what I came up with. As one of the party favors the kids would make and take home their very own shields!!! (Above: the shields my three children made at the party.)
This is how I did it at the party...
First I let parents stay at all my parties to keep ME company and help. Hee hee. I did mention I'm a lazy party thrower right? ;)
The children first had to decide what shape to make their shield then told one of the dads who then cut it out of cardboard. Then I and a few of the moms punched four holes and with yarn attached the handle to the back of the shields.
Back view:
Once the handles were attached the children's shields were ready to paint. I just had them use tempera paint. Basic primary colors so they had to mix their own colors to make orange, purple, green, pink, etc. I think it is more fun and more educational for them to mix their own colors.
The kids all seemed to have a blast and here are their final creations.
According to my 8yr old daughter her birthday was a success! :)
