For my son's 4th birthday we had a Jake & the Neverlands party complete with tons of games! Kirsten and I like to make as much stuff as we can and challenge ourselves to make most of it out of "junk" or leftovers from our office. Come on in....... "Dress like a Pirate and Walk da Plank" My husband screwed two boards together, Tyler and I painted the words, we had the crates, blue tarp from wal-mart, small crocs from dollar tree and the rest is below.... The croc was made from green bubble wrap we found in the mailroom at work. The croc legs are made from cardboard boxes painted green, glued and tied with yarn. We made the croc body "sections" with rubber bands and the spikes on his back are cut from a rubber hand we found at the dollar store. Googly eyes and white styrofoam balls from hobby lobby. Pirate hats made from black foam sheets. The original plan was to cut these using the cricut but that didn't work (even with a deep housing blade) so we cut a template and traced onto the black foam sheets. These were super easy to cut out by hand. Embellished with red glitter glue. Measured and secured with elastic (dress rehearsal required!) Jake's spyglass. The spyglasses were made out of paper towel rolls, black paper and gold duct tape. Super easy! We secured the black paper to the rolls with hot glue. Again, dress rehearsal required. ;-p Every pirate party needs swords but we didn't want to fork over $3 per sword for the party and we wanted them to be a little safe (the kids ARE 4...) so we decided to make our own out of cardboard. I cut a sword template with my cricut (two cuts taped together) and we found the perfect box by our freight elevator. We traced the swords and cut with a box knife. We gave the swords stability with some popscicle sticks and painted them blue and red (black handles). Testing the sword stability. (LOL!) I'm gonna stop right here and make a note about our crafty blog name, Corporate Crafters. Do you see the view in most of these pictures?! It's pretty nice, huh?! ha! Kirsten and I do the majority of our crafting during our lunch hour in the vacant office next to mine. We are here 9 hours a day with an hour commute each way......when else do we have time to do these fun things?! You wouldn't believe the amount of stuff you can get done in 1 hour! Back to the party...... "Shark Infested Waters" The object of this game was to "hook" as many necklaces as you could before the sharks attacked! Green tub is from our farm, sharks from dollar tree, beads from oriental trading and my sis in law, hooks..we made! Red solo cup, wire hangers, foil We made the hook part out of wire hangers and pushed them through the bottom of the solo cup. Make sure and leave enough hanger so the kids can grab and hold the hook inside the cup. Cutting the wire was SO hard. I had to used all of my body weight to make a "simple" cut. Kirsten captured a bit of this on video..... Dress rehearsal. (I texted this picture to several of our friends asking "arrrrgh you ready to parrrty?!" At this point, I think I had forgotten that this party was not for me...hehe.) "Trolling for Booty" We always have fishing at our parties so we tailored this for a pirate party and added crocs to the sheet. The kids used a real fishing pole and caught Jake fruit snacks from HEB. "Tic Toc Croc Bean Bag Toss" Kirsten painted this bad boy!!! The red is a table cloth so the bags would fall behind. We also used this as a photo booth of sorts. "Buried Treasure" The treasure box was not one of our favorites projects UNTIL it was done and now it's one of our favorites. I don't have any crafting pictures but we wrapped a paper box with brown paper, outlined with gold duct tape, drew planks with a black marker, secured a pirate hat to the front, and zip tied the lid on. I'm not a fan of sand so we used rice! The kids dug for necklaces, doubloons, rings and bracelets. Wal-Mart has Jake cups that we used to collect their loot. "Jake's Tattoo Shop" (tattoos from the dollar spot at Target) I didn't get a very good picture of the "ship rides" but you get the idea....... (tractor rides are also always a part of our parties so I made a mast, hung colorful streamers on the trailer and we called it a ship ride!) The masts were easy to make! I bought some cheap mops and back scratchers from the dollar store and secured them together with hot glue and twine. The red and white striped fabric was from Wal-Mart. I secured the fabric to the cross bars (back scratchers) with hot glue. Jake printable from the Disney website (safety pinned) One of my favorite games was the "Cannonball Fights" I used large cardboard boxes and covered them with table cloths, zip tied a mast on each and called them ships. I was trying to make the cannonballs safe for little ones so I ordered pirate and ship themed beach balls from oriental trading! The games were a huge hit amongst the kids and adults!

So, the big day finally came this weekend...the boys' joint Super Mario birthday party. They had a great time with all of their little friends! I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked, but here are the ones I did take... My Super Mario wall decor. I ordered the wall clings from ebay. The banner from birthday express. And the rest of the scene, I made...the coin blocks, bricks, ground and pipe. Here are a few close ups of the wall... We played a couple of fun games. At the beginning of the party, we had a Yoshi Egg Hunt using plastic easter eggs. I hid gold coins inside the eggs for a fun surprise! Another one of the games we played...Fireball Toss. I made it out of a big box, some large oatmeal containers and a bunch of construction paper. Turned out pretty cute I think! They each got to throw 5 fireballs (I used the red balls from our ball pit balls). And they won gold coins which they thought was pretty cool. Chow time! Pinata! Here's a link for the pinata I used. I love how Jonathan has both of his hands full of candy...cute! One of the games I was really excited about was a treasure hunt called 'Save the Princess!' Since there are 8 worlds on the Mario game, I made clues coordinating with each world. For example, World 3 is ice world on the game so, my clue said, 'Mario slips and slides on snow and ice, but penguin makes it really nice. To get to World 3: Find your favorite ice cream and tell us what you see!' I had the next clue hidden in the freezer by the ice cream. I bought these gold stars and taped my clues onto them. This way the kids knew what they were looking for...a big gold star. I sent the kids all over the house...downstairs, upstairs, outside, back upstairs...all over! It was a lot of fun. The final clue led them outside to the side of our house where they found the princess sitting on top of a treasure chest with the last star which said, 'Yay! You saved me! You're the best! Now for more Mario fun, open this treasure chest!' Inside the treasure chest, I had all the kids' goody bags. The gold stars with their clues. The treasure chest. I covered a cooler with brown construction paper...it was super easy! I had to use different shades of brown cuz that's what I had, but I think it worked. Why are there two princesses you ask?? The pink one, Princess Peach, is in regular Mario and the peach one, Princess Daisy, is in Mario Party. Vann wanted to use them both...although he knew nothing about the treasure chest...I kept that a surprise! All of the goody bags inside the treasure chest. The cupcakes...here's my vent about the cupcakes. I think the stand and the toppers turned out good. The cupcakes, not so much. I think they tasted ok...but their appearance was not up to par. I made everything lactose free so, Chayce could eat it and well, frosting is hard. I have yet to find a recipe I can decorate well with. This one started out good. I made it, stuck it in the fridge for a bit, then piped in on in a cute little swirl like I always do....but it started getting all melty. My nice, pretty cupcakes became not so pretty. Turns out...the lactose free butter I use is not solid at room temperature...good to know. Maybe should've practiced this before the party. Oh well, such is life! I know now for next time. And I meant to incorporate more little Mario guys on the cupcake stand, but time just got away from me and I barely remembered to snap a pic of the cupcakes at all. The not so pretty cupcake display. The cupcake toppers. The kids loved these! They picked their cupcake out by who was on the topper. I bought the Mario stickers on ebay. And click here for how I made them. Singing Happy Birthday to my little Chaycers. He loved it! Blow! He needed some help with this. Next up...my sweet Vannipants! I love how he's smiling with his eyes...my friend Jen calls this smizing! Make a wish! Cupcake time! I love how Chayce is eating his cupcake...too cute! That was good! Half of the boys' loot...they got totally spoiled!! The other half...lots of really fun stuff! I gotta tell ya...see that Perfection game...we played that all night long. And by we, I mean all the adults! Aunt Casey helping Vann put together his Mario Kart Wii track. Chaycers is holding his light saber and watching a movie on the couch. Molly's there for moral support :) Vann playing with a little Lego guy. Chayce got this cool car that lights up...he loved it! He would press the button and then jam out...adorable! Vann checking out R2D2...Star Wars is a big hit in our house right now. More dancing! The boys sword fighting with their light sabers. We even turned off the lights and had a fun light show! Kinda cool pic! And that's it! That pretty much sums up our party day. The boys had such a great time! My project this week is to make room for all of their new toys. I have lots of rearranging, reorganizing and purging to do. Hope you all had a great weekend!
