MONSTER BIRTHDAY PARTY

I love throwing kids birthdays, they are always so much fun!  So when my 4 year old asked for a Monster Dance Party, I knew it was going to be a good one!   This party was so much fun to put together and I’m sharing all the details!  Monster banners, fun crafts and cute cakes!

The Monster Cake:
-I used round cake molds.
-I used this frosting tip to get the furry look.
-To make the eyes, separate oreos then take some frosting to add junior mint eyes.
-Take a thin skewer and push it into the oreo frosting.
-Then add eyelids.
-Stick them into cake.

Cupcakes:
-Frost cupcakes in fun colors.
-Then add candy eyeballs.

Monster lollipops are from here.

The monster letter birthday banner was my VERY favorite!  It is by the far the cutest addition to the party decor.

I printed mine at staples on cardstock.  Cut it out, punch holes and then hang.Another fun part of the party was the monster t-shirts.  Each kid got to choose their own monster and we ironed it on a t-shirt that they wore at the party.  It was so cute!  and fun to see which monster everyone chose.
I bought these cute monsters, changed their colors in photoshop and then printed them onto iron on transfer paper.Another fun craft at the party were these fun monster eye headbands.  I had a little station set up with the eye balls, headbands and eyebrows.  I pre-made all the eyeballs, punched the holes and even attached them to the pipe cleaners.  I wanted to make it as easy as possible for a 4 year old.  They were pretty dang cute!The eye balls are very easy to make!

SUPPLIES:
–Ping Pong Balls.  You want the cheapest kind, I got mine from the dollar store.
–Sharpies (different colors)
–Push Pins
–Pipe Cleaners
–Headbands

-Draw a circle with the black sharpie
-Color it in leaving a few white spots.
-Draw around the outside with a colored sharpie.   It’s fun to have different colors.
-Take a push pin and punch a hole at the bottom.
-Take a pipe cleaner and stick it into the hole till its secure.
-Wrap onto headband.This little cutie had a blast stuffing his face with treats and dancing with all his friends!!  Monster birthday party success!
