A few months ago we threw our 3rd Superhero Training Academy Birthday party. Our littlest man turned 5 and he wanted a party just like his big brothers. Here are some more Superhero Party ideas we came up with and did differently this time around.
This party is so much fun I didn't mind hosting it again. Though it is a bit of work to throw a party at your house, I think they are the most fun.
More Superhero Party Ideas
Quick Superhero Outfit Idea
The Hulk decided to be Batman at the last minute so we had to rig a costume the morning of. Thankfully we had the hooded bat cape in the costume box and the t-shirt the drawer. I added some yellow felt to a spy belt and we found some gray pajama pants. I love a quick costume!
Easy Superhero Cake
And of course batman needed a bat symbol cake too.
DIY Fake Barbell
This was our third time making fake weights. I couldn't find thick styrofoam so I cut a bunch of circles from 1 inch styrofoam and glued them together before painting. You can find more tips on making these weights in my How to Throw a Superhero Training Academy post
Boy do I wish I had thrown the first, and most awesome set, into the attic years ago. I saved this set just in case any local friends are in need of a set of fake weights.
Balloon Punching Game
For punching practice one year we had them punch the Pow Pillows, this time we had each kid put on Hulk fists and punch through a series of helium balloons that were tied at their level (you can tie them to toys or cans).
Football Throw
We also had them practice their aim by throwing footballs through the tire swing.
Superhero Party favor Ideas
I received an email asking for ideas of something to sew as a favor instead of capes. Here are a couple of simple things I've made to give.
Easy Superhero Mask
One year I cut out superhero masks out of black craft foam and sewed a strip of elastic to them. They hold up well and are fun to wear. One year we even gave them at the beginning of the party for those who needed to assume a secret identity.
Simple Party Favor Bags
This year I sewed the favor bags. They are easy enough to make by sewing around the sides of two rectangles and hemming the top.
To thread in a length of yarn I just unpicked one of the side seams. We stuffed them with a bouncy ball, fruit snacks, lollipops and "Kryptonite" putty.
After the party my kids use these little bags to store rock collections, and other little things or to tote just few cars church.
Hopes this helps give you a few more ideas to choose from if you happen to be planning your own superhero party.
