goodie bag idea for 4yr old super hero!

[taracotta7]

We had a super hero party this year. Each child got a super hero mask and cap. I bought mine from Amazon but there are a lot of DIY ones I found on the internet. All the kids loved that they got a costume to take home. That was all I did......no candy or anything. If I had it to do all over again, I would possible do a photo booth with props. Those are just fun! Here is a link for ideas for the party....

Here is a lot of ideas from Hostess with the mostess blog...

I was going to say a cape and a mask. Tht would be cool and they could wear them at the party. You could make it out of felt from Joann and not even have to sew.

I third the cape and mask. The photobooth sounds fun and will make another awesome gift for the thank you cards.

As for plates, etc. I bought some hard plastic plates at the end of Summer at Target. They are bright color striped. They are now my birthday plates. I got 8 of them and they are used for parties only. You might be able to find some fun colored ones and then just do water bottles or plastic reusable cups. Buy for one party and use them for lots to come.

We had a super hero party this year. I gave each of the kids a cape that my mom made. We just bought shiny fabric and sewed them up. In past years I have done chocolate bars wrapped, dipped pretzels, etc. I don't like the junk that gets thrown away either. Also you can find solid colored plates, forks, etc at the dollar stores. I have done that before, too.

thanks ladies! i'm excited about the party. i'm having a hard time deciding park birthday (possible cool/cold weather?) or dropping a buck fifty on an indoor party (my house is still in home improvement mode)...

i saw an idea of silly string the bad guys and i was like, YES! idk how the ymca would respond to that kind of mess, lmao!

i'll budget the cost shiny fabric vs. felt - both are awesome ideas!

Sarah - I didn't realize that you lived so close to me! I'm in Springhill at least once a month for work...id love to do lunch sometime.

I think a park party would give the kids more room to play and you can't beat the price or the amont of space you would have. What month are you doing this in?

I saw at Big Lots today that they have some Spiderman themed disposible partyware for pretty cheap and thought of you. Watch after Halloween for silly string to be on markdown. Sounds like it will be a great party!

way cool! i've actually moved out of spring hill almost 7 months ago, but i'm in Holiday now. Where are you? i knew there were quite a few people from florida on here! he'll be 3 in December. Which December is touch and go on cool/cold weather... so it's hard to tell, lol.
