Where do we turn when the kid asks for a party theme that doesn't exist? Google, of course.
Eden recently requested a Ninjago party theme for her birthday dinner with her cousins. There were a lot of (expensive) ideas online. I put together the the best of them here to create the ultimate Ninjago party hack:
I gratefully downloaded these printable cupcake toppers from ourhomemadehappiness and used them on a sheet cake.
And these ninja eyes from pinterest which I used to make Ninjago balloons (just tape them on balloons in the ninja colors).
This Ninjago graphic can be found at countrygirlhome and used for invitations or decorating.
This tutorial from Lego Club Magazine shows how to make a sweet ninja mask from just a t-shirt. This is a free activity if you gather tees from around the house (the t-shirts are not altered in any way so they can go right back in the drawer afterward). These masks will make the inevitable Ninjago battles even more exciting for partygoers.
A simple party game is "Sensei Says" rather than "Simon Says."
If you save your soda bottles and get out the duct tape, you can use this guide to make cool (and free) "Spinjitzu" tornadoes as a craft activity for the kids.
Easy snacks could include Raman (or any pasta) as "Master Chen's Delicious Noodles" and if you don't want to go the cake route, have you noticed that Carvel's Flying Saucer ice cream sandwiches look just like the ninjas' favorite "creamy biscuits?"
I rounded out these simple ideas with Lego-yellow tableware and streamers from the dollar store.
Using these suggestions, you could host an awesome Ninjago party for under $20. Kids' birthday parties don't have to break the bank. A little imagination goes a long way.
Ninja-GO!
Thank you for the great suggestions on how to make a Ningajo party!
