Spider-Man Spider Web Spray Cover (Printable)


Last week I shared all about our recent Spider-Man Birthday Party we had over here.

One of the activities was a little spider web spray off. We sent all of the kids out back and had them attack each other with Spidey Web (aka silly string).

I wanted to hide the generic silly string label with a coordinating party themed one. So as I normally do, I went over to PicMonkey and whipped up a label. Can I just say how amazing all of the superhero overlays are?

They are amazing.

There I said it.


It can be a bit tricky to make sure that you get the label to fit the silly string can, so I am providing two different printing options.

Above is the original JPEG that I made. You can right click and save that to your computer, open it in a Word document and adjust the size accordingly. Then print it off on card stock.

The other option is to download the pdf document below and to print if off on card stock. This image cannot be adjusted so depending on the size of your can it may be too small or too big.

Cut out the labels and hot glued them in place.

Now we are ready for a pretty epic Spidey Web battle.


Not only was it epic, but it was the favorite activity of the party.

I hope you aren't bored of all this Spider-Man partying. I might have a few more things to share. Oh the excitement!

HULK Smash: Avengers Birthday Party


This was the favorite game at our Avengers party. The HULK Smash.

The game's existence was rumored and anticipated by several of the boys. When they came in and saw the cardboard buildings, they knew what was coming.


Even in the presence of eminent danger, we had to hold our Hulks off until the other games had been played.

Thank heavens the city-taking-over little monsters didn't do too much damage while our Hulks played other games.

Then it was time for our Hulks to avenge the city.


Since we aren't crazy and didn't want complete chaos, we had one Hulk smash one building at a time. To make it fair we had numbered the boxes buildings. Each Hulk got his own building to smash. He was cheered on by the other Hulks.

They punched, kicked, and jumped on those buildings until they were a squashed heap on the floor.


Not only was this the most enjoyed game, but it was a pretty easy one to put together.

I gathered boxes for months. Closer to the party I painted all the boxes with a cheap house paint. I also cut rectangles from black and yellow paper for windows. I very haphazardly taped them on. Somewhat instant buildings.

Then in a matter of minutes they were happily pummeled.

Nothing like 7 boys smashing buildings!

Ahh, good times.

Avenger Assemble: Birthday Party


First, for all my American readers today is the day. GO AND GET YOUR VOTE ON.

Avengers Assemble.

Totally.

Assemble they did. Birthday party it up they did.

This was a fun, if not slightly stressful party to throw. I had ideas about what I wanted to do right away. Middle totally approved and was only too helpful to come up with more ideas.

Party ideas, check.
Party colors picked, check.

Now, like the Avengers, I just had to assemble. Whew! Everything got done, and Captain America had a successful birthday party.

Here is a little run down of our Supertastic Avengers Birthday Party.


                        


The main table was decorated with Marvel Avenger comic fabric. I made a simple banner from paint cards. I chose the colors I wanted. Then I simply ran them through my machine and sewed them together.

I chose to buy gumballs and Sixletes in the main party colors: green, blue, red, and gray.

One of my favorite things is the cardboard box buildings in the background. I made the ones on the table and several more for one of the party games...which I will talk about in just a sec...

The cardboard boxes were gathered over weeks and just stored happily in my garage. I bought a low-end cheap house paint from The Mart in a stone gray color. I covered the boxes with a couple of coats. I also cut out windows in yellow and black paper. Then with the help of little hands, I taped on all of the windows.

Besides the store bought candy, I also made Rice Crispie Treat Pops.

One of the highlights of the party were these Avenger felt masks.



I got the idea for these masks HERE. I didn't follow her template, I just kind of winged it. For me that worked out just peachy. I did have to stare at the picture of the Thor mask quite a bit. I am surprised I didn't go blind.

The potential loss of eye sight was totally worth it, because the boys loved the masks.


These Thor Pez dispensers were also quite a hit.


Besides the main treat table, there was another treat station.


I brought up the red dresser from my boys' room. I continued with the color theme, of course. I pretty much have a problem!

I displayed the comic book letters. 

I opted out of doing a cake. In years past I have gone nuts making big old creative cakes. However, we always have way to much cake left over. So I made a simple vanilla flavored cupcake, frosted it with a light and fluffy buttercream frosting, and topped it with Sixlets.


Easy peasy and totally cute.

I decorated the room we played all our games in with hand painted posters totally copied from these postcard prints I LOVED.



The party games were rowdy and fun. 

The boys flew around our cardboard buildings in a timed obstacle course like Iron Man.

They also armed themselves with their cardboard Captain America shield and protected themselves from the enemy.

Next was the Thor hammer toss.


They each got their own hammer thanks to toilet paper tubes, small boxes, and lots and lots of duct tape.

They really enjoyed throwing their hammer (one at a time of course) at a running Loki (Hubby).

BUT, the best game...

The game that they all loved...The game that caused the most rowdiness...The game that they had a hard time coming down from...

...well that was the game that involved our cardboard buildings, some green gloves, and a little bit of unbridled anger...

HULK smash.


Nothing like embracing your inner HULK. I will share a little bit more about the favorite party game tomorrow.

We certainly had an Avenger-tastic afternoon.

The best part of the party was the birthday boy's smile.


That is all I needed for this party to be a success.
