Planning a Fun Superhero Party

Every child will encounter the "superhero phase" where he gets absorbed in cartoons, comic books, toys and other novelty items of his favourite brave character. And most probably, he will want to have a themed birthday party where he can be the "saviour of the day". Here are some suggestions on how you can plan for a fun gathering that will surely win you a place of "hero" in your child's heart.

Begin by planning tasty menu for your little guests. For example, you can make cookies that are cut into the different shapes of popular action figures. Another great idea is to make hero sandwiches, but remember to take out the ingredients that the kids might not eat because of the strong taste. Examples are onions, pickles, olives, and peppers. However, you can lay them out on separate plates in case someone might want to add them to his dish. For the drinks you can use certain juices and concoctions and label them as a secret formula that will give your party goers that needed power boost.

Another tip is to set up entertaining decorations that will transform your home into the secret headquarters of the world defenders. You can also create a section where you place cut outs of some characters and add famous word effects in cartoons like "pow!", "sock!", and "bam!" You can even make this corner as a picture booth where the kiddies can pose in their best fighting stance. For your party games, why not try a "villain hunt"?

Lastly, make sure everyone in the invitation list comes in their costume. A great option for your child will be a Power Ranger outfit.
