My dd just turned four last Saturday. For her party she decided that she wanted a wonder woman theme. I reluctantly agreed. You see, for the last two years ( I rotate the kids parties every other year) it has been superhero related, First it was Batman, then Spiderman, and again with the superhero- Wonder Woman. Actually it ended up being a positive- at least we were doing a female superhero. And as it turns out, I got really into it. We had three main activities- Create your Secret idenity- kids decorated masks and capes, Villian Round up with the Golden Lasso of Truth, and lastly Testing Physical Strength- the obstacle course.
Resources:
Living Locurto - She has amazing free downloads. I used the mask templates, the invite and the printable superhero stickers.
Petite Bouh- Other great printables, I bought a package of everything for $40.
Georgia Leigh- Superhero Cape template- I then cut mine from felt, along with masks- no sew option. I used three different sizes for my capes.
Super hero treat bags- I forgot to picture this but each kid got a superhero bag to take their capes, masks, and candies home in. Oriental Trading Company has some great ones! Super fun we are actually using the bags for Halloween- I bet you can't guess what my kids are going as! I also purchased some great lollipops, and candy dots for take home goodies.
Dollar Store-The colors for this party were easy, red, yellow, and blue. I found plastic table cloths, paper products, good plastic containers and assorted glass display vases- all for about a buck.
Jo-Ann- I found the felt, felt glue, elastic string, velcro, felted stickers, puff paint, etc. here.
Red and White Straws- I actually scored these while on a trip the the Vintage Market in Phoenix hosted by the Junk n the Trunk trio. (super fun) But if you aren't at the Vintage Market you can buy them here Domestic Charm.
Games- Various ideas all over the internet. I actually liked another that I did not have time for, the game suggested that you blow up balloons- filled with a small prize like a fake tattoo, and then make mean faces on the ballons. Have kids take out the villians to save metropolis by stomping on balloons.
I basically did a little googling and found great ideas that others had done and combined them with my own. It is amazing how talented people are. Also just an FYI- do not wait until the last minute if you are doing this on your own. I did a little bit a day for about a month prior to the party- not everyday, but I kept working at it until I was finished.
