MARIO BIRTHDAY PARTY

A great theme for a boys birthday party theme (Nintendo Ds / Wii)
(indoor / winter party)

INVITATIONS

I made this DS invitation and the kids loved them

from HERE

and printed the party details onto the screens along with a clip art images of Mario.

DECORATIONS


Paint terracotta plant pots green (the Pipes in the games) and use for bowls for crisps etc on the table.

The Boo's were white balloons with face drawn in permanent pen with cones of paper stuck onto the sides.

COSTUMES

I think these are fab, free pattern available from FROM GIVERS LOG
You could make green Luigi ones also and have two teams for games.
or
 buy red and green baseball caps and glue felt symbols on the front/

and use black face paint for Mario moustaches

GAMES


I came across this great Yoshi egg smash game   from cool party.

 and they are really easy to make

Yoshi Egg Smash Birthday Party Game

 This game was simple and lots of fun!
Each child chose a Party Egg, and took turns smashing/throwing the egg at a simple target I put on the wall. If the egg broke open to reveal a golden star, then that child won a prize!
The kids really found this game to be exciting mostly because they got to smash something
and maybe even win a prize for doing so.
Learn how to make these cute Yoshi eggs yourself.
 this game is definitely recommended as an outdoor game,
between the confetti and the smashed egg shells it makes for a small "fun" mess.

or

A Yoshi egg hunt paint green spot on white polystyrene eggs.

Use the green pipes (see above) for jam jar ping pong write points on each pipe.

We also played adapted versions of the mini games.
