Welcome to one of the most awesome birthday parties ever in this blog. Maybe I am biased because I am such a huge Breath of the Wild fan. Maybe it's because BOTW 2 is coming out next May and we can't wait. Maybe it's because it is one of the most thought out birthday parties I've ever had to create. Whatever it is, I think it was EPIC! You need to stick around for the games and activities. Decorations As always, we start off with the decorations and the main table. How incredibly easy were those archery balloons to recreate. I just had to print the target circle color and tape them to white balloons. Used Crayola watercolors to create that backdrop. Glad my girls were up to helping. The birthday banner shields were a free printable found on online here. Can you find the "cupcake" my sister made fun of in my backdrop paiting? I made the EMMALEE letters which you can barely make out using Mr. P 3D letter template and printables of different BOTW landscapes. It could have made it more cohesive, but I still loved showing different BOTW sights. I stuck to the chibi theme with the characters. Just googled chibi BOTW and used the best sticker images I could find. I know! I know! This terrako is not BOTW, but the printable was so cute. Too bad I didn't notice the base had shifted when I took the pic. Love the chibi link riding Epona, eventhough there is no Epona in BOTW unless you are like me and named her such! Could not find good BOTW cookie references online, so I made my own creation! Free BOTW link papercraft found here. Free Kass papercraft found here. Look at that sad smooshed silent princess flower. The cake suffered some transportations casualties. Pic in the bottom of cake before taking a ride. Master sword papercraft here I wanted to do the sunrise colors of the backdrop on the cake also. I think it looks so cute. Up close my shrine is not much to see, but I'm just so proud of no longer using fondant on my cakes. This is pure buttercream. Milk labels here. These monster cakes were almost a disappointment. First I made the horns with merengues following this website's suggestion. I left them on the oven. I had struggled with sticky merengues in the past, so I had extra purple buttercream to pipe the horns. Left that in the fridge. I almost cried when I saw my sad hornless monster cakes. They had taken so long because they had a dulce de leche filling and had taken a while to assemble. My sister saved the displayed ones with some last minute cardboard horns. Master sword printable here. How cool is my castle? Took forever to hangs those curtains, but they were everything! Champions window for cool background for pics. In case you are unaware, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is handmade by me. So, yes, I made that Zelda outfit too! Also made that girl! And also made that master sword using this papercraft. Here is the link for the master sword papercraft on the main table. (Yes, realized after printing it wasn't BOTW, used it anyway!) My girls. My youngest is using a DIY Zelda necklace. Yes! I made my husband an outfit also! He is my handsome Link. He was reluctant until I told him how proud his daughter would feel watching those pictures down the line. He agreed even though he knew it would be hot under that outfit. It was and he endured it. My lovely family. Like my fairy headband? Crazy about my guardian piñata. So cool. Those paper cups came down with the first hit though! Games Here is my favorite part of the party. I wanted a IRL experience of BOTW, as much as possible. So, we made some phases. They needed to get a heart piece and a potion to do the shrine quests, but getting these were not going to be easy either. Heart piece and Korok quest To get a heart piece, they needed to stop by the cooking station, but first they needed to collect 3 ingredients. I made the ingredients using air dry clay. Stamella mushroom Hylian mushroom Endura mushroom Hearty Radish River Frog Hearty truffle Fairy tree Silent princess I made an adventure satchel for each kid with a cardboard sheikah slate for each one. The sheikah slate had a map of the world (that coincided with the park) and the korok quest. I'll show you in the next pictures. These were the hidden koroks that had a symbol that they had to decipher the right number in their slate to get the code. The first 3 to finish got Korok plushies. They did the quest while also looking for ingredients. This is what my daughter's slate looked like in the end Here she solved her korok quest, but she came in 4th If you wish to use them, here is the jpg I made. And here is the map. Our castle was in the center of the park, just like on the map! Serendipitous! To get to their next quest, they had to find the Korok circle in their map. This was the hardest quest for pretty much every kid, mainly because only the 4 kids that played the game knew what a Korok circle looked like. I had to redirect most of them to it! We were lucky to have a large and lushious jungle park! Zelda looks so cool in the wild! Do you like her satchel??? Here are the 1st and 2nd place winners of the Koroks quest showing off their Korok plushies! The satchel was a good place to carry all the goodies they collected. Once they had their 3 ingredients, they could head to the cooking station. They had 4 choices: fruit for 1 rupee, veggie for 5 rupees, mushroom for 20, and spicy jalapeño for 50. After you ate your meal, you got the rupees you earned and your heart piece. Most boys went for the jalapeño. I'll post the Korok quest images, the monster and gears part image, and the rupees and heart piece images. Archery and Potion Unfortunately, I didn't take picture of the kids fishing, but I had a bucket of plastic fishes and a dollar store fishing cane with a magnet for the kids to collect a fish if they hadn't found a frog. To make a potion, they needed a fish or a frog and a monster part. To get a monster part, they needed to head to the archery. Here is my lovely octorok ready to be shot at. You can tell Adri hit it in the first try. You got 3 attempts. If you hit the target, you get 20 rupees and monster parts. If you didn't, you only got monster parts. Even the dads wanted to give it a try. Then they headed to the potions station. I found the easiest most awesome potion recipe: alcohol, glitter, and mica powder. It gives it a real potion took. Even the parents were surprised. The mica powder does not mix with the alcohol, so it gives these incredible swirls. You can find mica powder in soap making stores. I bought these potion bottles at the dollar store. They are my favorite fidget toy. I made a few for myself to keep in my desk and just twirl and twirl to see the swirls and swirls. Shrine Quests You needed to find 3 other mates that had the heart piece and potion to head to the shrine. Here is team #1 posing at the shrine. Extra me would have done a shrine entrance in the past (see my jurassic park party to see what I mean), but I had already spent too many hours sewing all those satchels. A shrine pic it is! Shrine Quest #1: The floor is lava. Just have the kids go from x to y using cardboard pieces. 5 pieces for 4 players to move the piece from the back to the front passing it to each player until everyone makes it through. Make it small to make the balancing fun! Shrine Quest #2: Remember the pattern. Inspired by the musical shrine quest in Rito Village, kids must remember the pattern to play all the colors. Each teammate comes to receive a new color and play it on the drums. The next teammate must remember the colors played before and play the next one to reveal it to their team. That last kid had to remember all 8 colors order, but their teammates could help them. Shrine Quest #3: Take the ball to the other side. Mark a spot from x to y and tell the kids they must form a bridge using only their cups to take the ball to the other side. Inspired by some shrines where you need to freeze objects to direct balls. This is the orb image I made for this challenge to print and cut. After completing the 3 shrines, each kid got a different Orb. Then. they had to look for the kids that had the same champion to do together the champion quest. Champions Quest The champions quest was an escape room challenge I got from this website. I printed the escape room challenge as it came and just glued some left over orbs to make it match the champions. The escape room challenge has 4 rooms, so I just made each room a champion challenge. The team that finished their "room" first, won 50 rupees and the second team got 20. The others got the satisfaction of escaping. They ran for their fairy once I told them it got them rupees. Ready to destroy the guardian. It had bolts and gears inside for more rupees too. Time to exchange the rupees for prizes!!!! There were candy bags, dollar store toys, but here are the DIY BOTW shrink charms I made to make bracelets and hair bows. The kids loved them. I also got these gaming inspired bendy straws! Safe to say that Beedle store was a big hit! And yes, I died at the end. Dear Emmalee, I can't believe you turned 10! Ten years of seeing God's goodness in my life through your life. You were only 3 when mommy got cancer. I thought you would grow up not even remembering me. You had to grow up so fast. You had to take care of your mommy since you were 3 years old. That is 7 years of you massaging me when I have my chronic pain, caressing my forehad when I get migranes, and putting up with me when I'm cranky because I couldn't sleep. It pains me to know you've carried this burden with me, but it also excites me to think what this has done to your heart and to your character. And I can already see what the Lord has been doing in your heart. You have a heart ready to know Him, serve Him, seek Him, and learn from Him. You love coming with me to the Crossfire youth band vocal practices where you watch mommy vocal coach young people and you learn too. You come with me to Crosswalk where you are learning how to evangelize and you are getting ready for your first mission trip to the village of Para Puru in the heart of the Panamanian jungle. You were so understanding when mommy left for Egypt on a short mission trip this fall, and I pray it also inspires your future endeavors. You went to school for the first time in your life. You don't feel sorry for yourself for having been homeschooled all your life. You feel greatful for it and have told me so in many of the letters you still continually write to me. You have shined so brightly at your school. Everyone calls you and your sister the welcoming committee for you are at the school gate ready to hug every kid as they come inside. You are a friend without prejudice. You were so nervous your first day of school you were not able to sleep. Mommy tried everything with you to make you sleep, but you could not sleep an ounce. You were worried you were not going to be loved or accepted. You came back that very same day realizing all your fears were for nothing. You made so many friends and you are such a happy girl. You scored highter than your class on your MAP test. I was so impressed. Mom was super intense on your first month of school. I felt like your performance was a direct mirror of my teaching. I was able to let go and let you do you. You do you so well. You just shine wherever you go and in whatever you do. You are doing so great at school. I can see how hard you work to do well and to be kind. You inspire me so much. People always tell me what a great kid I have, and I always tell them it's all you. I have nothing to do with that. You put in the hard work. I loved sharing Breath of the Wild with you. I didn't think you would get so into it like I did. But, you did, and I couldn't be happier. It's like our thing just the two of us, because daddy and Kaylee didn't get into it. I know you were the happiest ten year old in your Zelda costume. You feel so proud that mommy makes it all for you. You constantly tell your friends what new thing mommy had made for your party, and we always can't wait to finally see it altogether. Thank you for the sister you are. You are learning to be more a sister and less a second mom to Kaylee, but I will always love your protective and overseeing love you have for her. It's been a year filled with many firsts. The first time you went to a birthday party without your sister because it was one of your classmates. Kaylee really didn't enjoy that, but it's time to have you have your own things. You've been sharing everything with your sister since you were 1. You've been so generous and sweet. My dearest, you make me so happy and proud. I don't care if you get good grades, if you have good attitudes, or if you like me. I love you for who you are. Thank you for having all of the above, but know that my love for you is unconditional. I am just so full of gratitude to our God to allow me live and watch you grow and be cared and taught by you. You are amazing. Love, Mom.
I can't believe my baby just turned 11. Next year he'll be in middle school and I don't know how many more parties he'll want me to plan then. This may be the last. So here it is: ZELDA For once I knew the characters and the setting because I have played the Twilight Princess version on the Wii. It reminds me of King's Quest and I loved King's Quest. As usual, I have to thank Pinterest users for their great boards. About a month before the party I ordered character plates, black placemats, themed tattoos/stickers, and Zelda napkins online from Birthday Express and Hylian shield mint tins from retrobit games. But then we all got really busy and before we knew it, 2 weeks had past. So, 2 weeks before the party I decided I didn't have time to make invitations and I ordered digital invitations from an Etsy shop. In 2 days, I had the file and I took it to Office Depot to be printed. We handed them out one week before the party...very last minute. This is the picture on the Etsy page for the invitation we ordered. Purchased from Smallfrynotables At office depot, I also had images of Zelda stained glass windows printed onto overhead sheets to make window clings for decorations. The images I used are on my pinterest Zelda party board. It worked out great. Unfortunately the last transparency melted in their printer and they had to call in a repair man. I didn't need that last print but I felt bad about their machine. Apparently when the machine heats up it can melt the overheads. The melted copy looked like a 3D shrinky dink. Hmmm, I wonder if I can turn the window clings into Shrinky Dinks now? After handing out the invitations, we got to work making favor crayon rupees. First my daughter carved a soap rupee. Then we made three silicone molds by taking casts of the soap rupee. Then we sorted old crayons into colors and melted them at 325 degrees for about 7 minutes. We added white to the blue and purple sometimes to make them lighter. These turned out great. Every guest got to take five home. The molds started to tear after a while but they were easily patched. We are planning to make Zelda soap using the molds next. They are also food safe so we thought about making smaller ones and melting jolly ranchers but we ran out of time. Then we made a Triforce piñata. That was fun. I used a crown royal box because the dimensions looked perfect. Two sides of the box were the exact length and width required and I trimmed the front side down to make the third side of the triangle. Then I used blue tape to make the back of the piñata and hold the triangle shape. I placed typing paper scraps over the tape on the inside of the piñata so the candy wouldn't stick. My husband cut out a triangle from another cardboard box to make the front. After the candy was loaded and the front taped on with packing tape, we used glue sticks to adhere small strips of white and yellow tissue paper onto the triangle. Voila. Triforce piñata. We had a quest to find swords, boomerangs, pieces of heart, poe souls and fairies. The first clue was, "Buried beneath a pile of rocks beside the abyss, it is dangerous to go alone, take this!" In a gray bag under splat rocks by the pool, the children found swords. They battled briefly with swords but had more fun with the splat rocks. I originally bought these thinking they were sponges we could use with slingshots for target practice but they turned out to be water filled squishy things and they were too sticky and heavy for the slingshots I had. The next clue was, "In a castle set apart, there you will find a piece of heart." In the Little Tikes castle they found treasure boxes with heart ring pops. The next clue revealed the location of the boomerangs - behind scrap wood in a planter with a ficus tree that has a bemustached trunk. "Concealed within an ancient wood, lies the loyal companion of good, if you dare to seek it out, discreetly approach the Deku sprout." We made poe souls for the quest. We tried several methods, but never really got them to look as awesome as the examples on the web. We also made fairy jars, but we had such a hard time getting the grass to stay inside the jars because of all the static that we decided this would be a fun challenge game for the teams, "Catch a Fairy in a Jar!" I will post a followup on these with instructions and pictures. Hey Listen. Next we made Navi Pops. The kids absolutely devoured these. Rosanna Pansino has a youtube channel called Nerdy Nummies where she demonstrates how to make all sorts of geek treats. Here is the link to her Navi Pop demonstration: Nerdy Nummies and below are some pictures of my daughter making ours. We waited until the morning of the party to make the lemon bars so they were too warm to be sliced really nicely. Instead of the beautiful triangle servings I had pinned to my board we ended up with tiny triangles fitting together to make a big one. Eh. For the games we had a quest to find objects and shoot targets with z-curve or nerf bow and arrow sets. Target shooting went on much longer than expected. We had cans of various sizes stacked on a bench and the aim was for teams of 2 to knock all of them off in the shortest time. But, they just wanted to keep setting them up and making new targets so this kept going for a long time. The main game was musical splat. Some of the children chose to wear a trash bag to protect their clothes but most did not. The children walked around the table and when my daughter's ocarina playing stopped, the children had to lift the lids off of the pie tins (lids were paper plates with duct tape handles) and slap their hands into monster guts, gargoyle pieces, chu jellies, dragon tails, etc. (Really just fig preserves, ice rings, cherry fruit topping, mayonnaise with cheerios, ketchup/mustard mix, etc.) One tin had a heart ring pop. That player was supposed to be out and the game continue, but everyone wanted to keep playing. Everyone would point to and laugh at the person who ended up with the fig jelly. It was supposed to represent monster guts but the kids called it poop. Between rounds, the kids would run into the garage bathroom to wash their hands. After the final wash we went inside for lasagna and spaghetti. After dinner, the kids drank Lon Lon milk and ate cookies and other treats. Then we went outside again for the pinata. This event was planned and executed in a short time, but the party lasted 4 hours and everyone had a great time. Thanks for stopping by to read my post. Party Summary Minimal Decorations: Zelda stained glass window clings triforce pinata stained glass style party crackers themed plates and napkins black placemats The main themed snacks were: Lon Lon Milk.
