Ethan is turning eight in a few days and true to protocol, we had his birthday party really early in the month. He wanted an Angry Birds birthday party and it was super easy, super cheap, and a ton of fun!
The decorations were so easy and turned out way cute!
The pigs above were made from pop up tab cans. I used a can opener on the bottom of the cans to take the peaches out (we ate them) and then filled them with candy and stickers. I just hot glued the bottom back on and voila! An easy "Thank You for coming" party gift that was cheap, easy to make, and fun for the kids to open!
The most expensive part was the cupcakes. I don't normally spend $3.50 a piece on cupcakes, but weren't these just darling?
All the kids that were invited came except for one:
Ethan opened presents and got legos, Angry bird stuff, and a really cool circuit board toy:
After cake, ice cream, and present opening, the boys played outside on the trampoline, Perhaps the best part of the party was when they played Real Life Angry Birds! I bought cardboard bricks at Toys R Us, and had a few different Angry Bird foam balls. I saved different cans that I used and made "bad piggies" from green paper and printouts: They were way cute!
I had two slingshots but after Ethan went the first time, the boys realized that throwing the ball was a lot easier and more fun:
Carly wanted to try the slingshot. I love her little face...she actually knocked down some of the bricks using it!
Of course, after their five turns were up and there were bricks still standing, the kids used their hands and arms to finish the job!
Ethan really enjoyed his party and I am glad to have another birthday party under my belt...Perhaps the "bad piggies" are too:
