What better way to celebrate this milestone than with a ninja turtle birthday party? Nate is all BOY, rough and tumble, fighting bad guys and using ninja moves to conquer the world.
The highlights of the party were the turtle shells & masks and using silly string to slay ninjas. The kids had a blast and it was easy to create.
At Publix I bought the three pack sets of baking pans.
I used spray paint to color the shells. I used a deep green instead of brown because I thought it was a more pleasing color
Cut slits into the sides of the pan and slide ribbon through the slits to create a "belt" that can tie the shell on. I used wide brown ribbon which worked great and held up well.
Each kiddo wore a turtle shell and a face mask to fit in with the theme -- they loved dressing up!
The favorite game of the day was slaying the ninjas with silly string. This was another easy project! I Google searched ninjas and choose my favorite four silhouettes. I uploaded these to Office Max and had them printed poster size and then traced them on black cardboard paper. I used cardboard project paper because I thought this would be sturdier than regular cardstock and I would be able to make them larger, which would work better. I glued the cut outs to sticks and scattered them throughout the yard. Each child had their own bottle of silly string and their own ninja to battle. Everyone had a great time!
These two activities were the highlight of the party! Even over the bounce house, delicious cupcakes and snow cones. If you're looking to make your ninja turtle party a success, I would recommend both of these projects!
Happy birthday to our spunky boy!
