Angry Bird Birthday

Pin It

My son turned 5 this month! (how times flies!) And the joy of technology has finally reached the birthday party zone for us. My son wanted an "Angry Bird" birthday party. And this isn't some easy decoration theme I can pick up at walmart--not at all! So I spent all week working on this.

I'll show some of the details!

THE CAKE

 

I used the "Pampered Chef Cake-in-a-bowl" method for the big red bird. I have no idea how to use fondant--so everything is icing/candy. All the beaks are starbursts, eyes are M&Ms, pig noses and crowns are laffy taffy, red birds eyebrows are twizzlers, and the tail are feathers (the only non-edible thing)

DECORATIONS

I never got a great shot of all the balloons--but they all have angry bird faces or the pigs faces. They were SO funny--and easy! I just used construction paper and 2-sided tape. Make sure the balloons are pretty big, otherwise the weight of the paper will keep them from floating.

ACTIVITIES

I had these setting out for the kids to do as soon as they arrived. That way they'll be dry by the time they leave. They are craft visors, large googly eyes, and a package of craft feathers (all colors) and adhere them with elmer's glue.

These visors make for really cute photos!

We also did a "Play Angry Birds!" area. I made the birds and pigs out of pom-poms and foam paper. This took me all day! Then I got regular plastic drinking cups, stack up in fun ways with pigs around them, and the kids get to throw the birds at the cup to knock them over! Talk about funny....the adults wanted to play too! And when you were done, you got an "golden egg" (Easter egg with candy in it!)

Pom-Pom BIRDS/PIGS

For the "Party favors" I made bags with 3 colorful cups, 4 birds (different colors) and 1 pig, 2 mini eggs with candy and a few pieces of candy floating around in the bag. I wrote a "Thank You" note on the cups inside. This way all the kids could play when they got home!

I hoped this gives you plenty of details to throw you own "Angry Bird" party! If anyone want more details about one specific thing, let me know!
