My little boy turned four recently and all he has talked about for the past year was having a batman birthday party. So we did it and I wanted to just share with all of you a few things I did for it. I was on a major budget for this party and I think I was able to really keep the costs low.
First off I made each of the kids Batman shirts. I love the dollar Store because they had these shirts. And then I just added the batman symbol. I used a template for it from
here.
Isn’t he cute. My daughter made me do pink shirts for her and her girl cousin.
I also wanted to make masks so I made my own template and then just cut them out of black construction paper. I then hot glued so thin elastic to them.
I had originally planned on making capes for the kids but that was not in my budget so instead I used black garbage bags that I also got from the dollar store. The kids loved it and most of them wore them the whole time.
On to the bat cave. My son really wanted a bat cave. I was originally going to use a canopy like you use when camping and then put tarps on the sides and have things hanging down. Then this morning as I was looking at how long that would take I opted for an easier route. I used our pop-up sun canopy and just added streamers and bats hanging down it was a big hit and super easy.
For the cake I just did a chocolate cake with yellow frosting. I then cut out a bat in wax paper. I used this wax paper cut out as a guide in. Filling it in with chocolate sprinkles. I think it turned out cute and it was simple and easy.
For the goody bags I made super hero coloring books. You can find the instructions
here. I didn’t have book binding tape so I used black masking tape. I think they turned out really great.
We had a really great time and I think all of the kids will remember how much fun they had. What I liked most is that I tried to keep in somewhat Simple and
Cheap Cost effective :)
