First I started off by making a Ninjago Piñata!
I used my old expired coupons and paper mached it. I used just flour, water and a pinch of salt and made the texture be like glue. I used a beach ball and covered it all up with the mixture. It was very messy and gooey but fun too! I put a bunch of layers on and I think it was too much because it was not dry in the morning. So I took my blow dryer and speeded it along.
When it was dry I stuffed it with candy and a lego build it pack for each child. Then I put a hanger inside duct taped the top, paper mached the green crepe paper around the whole piñata.
When that dried I then glue gunned the outside to have a neater appearance. I was a bit worried about the strength of piñata so I ended up having kids karate kick or hit it. It turned out great and lasted a while. The kids had a great time!
So I searched the web for many Lego Party ideas...
Here is a list of what we did at the party.
1. Dumped a bunch of legos on the floor so when the kids came in they could build.
2. Had a lego coloring sheet of a mini figure.
3. Guess the amount of legos in the jar.
4.Memory board, I put a bunch of my sons lego figures on a memory board and then had the kids look at it and then later try to tell me how many they remembered.
5. First group game was who could build the tallest tower in 1 min 30 sec
6. Next game was have a judge leave the room and have all the kids work on their own individual build. Display the legos and have the judge decide which one was best.
7.PINATA
8. Build time..... The kids got their candy and lego packs and spread out all over and started putting them together. took about 20 minutes of intense work. Put the legos into goody bags.
9. Made the lego cake and chocolate mini fugures and cupcakes. The kids loved it!
10. Opened presents.
11. Had the kids choose their colors of the crayons mini figures that I made. Another hit.
So the party was 2 hours long. Kids were super entertained. Reminded me of being a teacher again. The prizes were a simple baby food jar that I had painted yellow. I hung a picture of all the lego faces and told them to draw one on the jar with a sharpee. They really liked doing that too. I also had Ninjago books as prizes and of coarse a candy bar if I need an extra prize.
****If you have extra money to spend on the party and you want a real thriller check out this real LEGO JEEP
If you live in the SF Bay area you can get this cool jeep to come to your party! Just imagine those kids faces!
Next time use the beachball as a regular pool toy
