My son Kyle turns 6 years old this week!  We had his party this past weekend and he loved it.  I thought I’d share some ideas here for others throwing a Star Wars party.

This first picture is of Kyle with a chalkboard sign I created for his birthday.  It’s fun to have a visual reminder of all he’s into at this age! I can create one for your child’s next birthday session too!

First Collage Left to right: Light saber pretzel rods using candy melts, Juice pouches with label “Jedi Juice”, marshmallow pops I found at Michael’s, Chalkboard and banner,  napkins rolled around plastic fork held with lightsaber handle napkin rings printed on cardstock, Death Star cake

Second collage left to right: shortbread “wookie cookies” made using Williams Sonoma cookie cutters, Leia’s Buns are jsut honey buns, more wookie cookies, Yoda Soda is just a bottle of Sprite mixed with Lime Sherbet, Foam Lightsabers made by cutting pool noodles in half and wrapping the end with duct tape (I decorated with black peel and stick foam cut into rectangles)

Since posting about my son Barrett’s Birthday on my personal blog, I have had a lot of questions about Birthday Missions. I got the idea from The Absolutely Mindy show on Sirius Radio. A person must complete their 3 birthday missions before they can turn a year older, and they are fun, silly, sometimes messy things that kids love to do but wouldn’t normally do. We really enjoyed doing it with Barrett and there is already talk of Kyle’s birthday and even Daddy’s birthday! So in preparation for upcoming birthdays, I made a printable of a bunch of Birthday Missions. We will put them in a bucket and draw 3 on each person’s birthday. I think this is a great family tradition that we will definitely continue.
