Batman meets Jake

We are finally ready to celebrate these two amazing characters! Michael and I are finishing up some last minute touches (he is doing the chalk board art as I type...) I figured pictures will show off the room better than I could describe so here are a few quick pics of what the kids have in store!

Well, first you get to see this guy! Goggles check! Big cheese smile check! Ready to party tomorrow check!

This is my best attempt for you to see both sides of the party in one room. To the left Batman saves Gotham and to the right Jake saves Pirate Island!








First we have Gotham! So I found these amazing poster packs on Amazon. They included two 6ft by 2.5ft. posters. I found them in both themes so these were a must have item. In the pack were also happy birthday banners and smaller character pictures. I picked up some black craft paper at Michaels and using yellow chalk and yellow masking tape, I was able to cover our liquor cabinet with a simple cityscape.

These are the felt capes the class will decorate.

I am going to use these Batman and Jake rings to decorate the cupcakes, then after everyone eats their cupcakes (or just crumples it all up) they will have some treasure!

On the backs of each of the folding chairs I wrote the kids names. My sister in law is helping me tomorrow so this will be a helpful guide to me, her and Michael as to where each child should initially sit and where they should sit for the other craft.

Now to Jake and The Neverland Pirates!The balloon columns were the most difficult because my dollar store pump didn't work! Go figure! So I blew up 56 balloons. I was so dizzy but they came out exactly how I wanted! Have you ever read "Caps for Sale" well that is all I kept saying the boys thought I was crazy! "Balloons! Balloons for sale!" Anyway....back to Jake...the brown plastic piece is our ottoman. I covered it and put the kids names on it with masking tape so we would have a place for everything to dry. Man am I happy we do not have living room furniture yet! 

I found these great pirate hats and Batman masks for the kiddies to wear instead of party hats. I found them on Amazon. I used the boys own toys as decorations, why not? It is a Jake party!

These are the adorable treasure boxes the children will be able to paint! I found these plastic palates with room for 6 colors so I picked up one for each child and I was able to grab a paint brush for each child. Inside I wrote the child'd first name and I also wrote it on the bottom of the box. 

This is a full length view of both tables set up and ready to go! Ahoy! I double plastic clothed all both tables so after the kids paint and decorate, while they are washing their hands me or Michael can easily clean up and get ready for pizza. I will just lift off the first cloth and magically I will have a clean table cloth underneath! 

After cupcakes and pizza I have special superhero tattoos for everyone to put on. I am really hoping it will be a great close to a wonderful party! The treat bags will be the capes, treasure boxes, plastic rings and I have some lollipops for everyone.
