Easy Ways To Create A Superhero Birthday Party NJ Kids Will Love

By Daniel Edwards


Most young children love to pretend. They can easily imagine themselves flying through the air, scaling tall buildings, and saving the world for future generations. If these little ones are allowed, they will spend hours watching and re-watching movies featuring their favorite characters in dangerous situations and fighting off evil villains. With a little imagination and ingenuity, moms and dads can even plan a superhero birthday party NJ children will love.

If you have a middletown NJ child who loves to dress up and pretend to be a certain character, it shouldn't be hard to create a themed event around the special powers, costumes, and traits of this fictional personality. It doesn't have to be extremely expensive or elaborate to be successful. Party supply stores are full of well priced favors, decorations and face paint that can help you create the perfect atmosphere.

Create the appropriate atmosphere by using crayons, paint or chalk on rolled paper to make a mural depicting the environment the hero works in, and hang it in the room where the party is being held. You probably already have copies of movie soundtracks to play, and there are easy lighting techniques you can use to make the room shadowy and mysterious. Invited guests might be provided with capes and masks when they arrive.

Moms should consider enlisting dads to play the part of the evil villain. The kids will probably be only too happy to team together to defeat the villainous adult. Games that include battles, chases, and warring sides are better played outside where the chances of something being broken or torn are at a minimum.

Most of the popular heroes have alter egos they present to the public so their true identities remain secret. Consider setting up an area with a curtain for children to hide behind and change identities with simple accessories like oversize glasses and ties. You will probably find a multitude of games in keeping with your super power theme that you can modify if necessary depending on the ages and personalities of the party goers.

A lot of young children have peddle and even battery operated play vehicles you could transform into famous cars with super power engines and special effects. Green face paint can alter your little ones into powerful hulks, and an aluminum covered cardboard helmet will make an iron man out of your shiest guest.

You might want to let the parents of the children invited know how you plan to stage the event. They can send their kids dressed casually and ready to change into costumes without much parental help. You should also make certain that the adults know if you plan to include any pretend weaponry specific to the character.

Your child's birthday should be something he or she looks forward to and enjoys planning with you. While water slides and bounce houses are a lot of fun, and children love them, a good old fashioned party full of pretend might be even more enjoyable.
