Monster Party Game - Pin the Eye on Mike


Wynn's fourth birthday party included a few games. The first game the kids played was Pin the Eye on Mike. Rob and I put this game together during a quick nap the twins took last week. 

Rob drew Mike and completed the details on his face. I created the individual eyes for each of the party guests.  The only piece I purchased for this game was a sheet of green poster board.

Wynn was super excited when she saw the game when it was put together. The kids had fun with this game at the party. Here are some pictures of it in action...

Monster Themed Birthday Party

We hosted Wynn's fourth birthday party this weekend. This was the first year we did it outside of our house. I am sure glad we decided to do that.  My friend came early along with my parents to help us set up the party room at a local indoor sports center. We had thirty minutes to put everything together and I think it turned out really cute.

I purchased this large poster from Party City to take pictures of everyone in front of it. Wynn was the first one to get her picture taken. She was so excited to have a Monsters themed party.  This was super because it was large and it was only a few dollars. There were only a few areas that I actually included the characters. I tried to stick mainly to the colors of turquoise, blue and green.

We set up this table right where the guests would walk in. That way they could drop off their gift and pick up their favor bag easily on the way out.

The kids arrived and everyone headed to the court area to play some games. Thank goodness Wynn's Uncle Chris is an elementary P.E. teacher because he made it a lot of fun. The kids loved playing with the parachute especially.


Then it was time to head back to the room for dinner and treats of course.  I used the projects I had put together a few months back to decorate the table and some of Wynn's toys.
 I took some scrapbook paper and made the eye of Mike Wazowski for the tops of the applesauce.
 The cupcakes were from BJ's and the kids cupcakes had Monster Cupcake Toppers from Edible Designs by Letty on Etsy.

Everyone had a great time. We were all in bed by 8:30, so we know that we were definitely exhausted. :)  This was at the end of the party. Do Rob and I look sleep deprived? We were working on only a few total hours over the past few days. Davis is with Rob and Ty is with me in this shot.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed this post.

Monsters Inc Party Food & Beverage Labels



I purchased these some small frames in the Michaels dollar spot for $.40 each. I decided I would use them to label the food and drinks at Wynn's monster party this weekend.  



First up is for the drinks I created a label called the Waternoose Watering Hole after the Monsters Inc. character Mr. Waternoose.  I plan on using all of Wynn's little figures to go  along next to the signs at the party.
Wynn's favorite is No. 1, and so I incorporated her in the treat area. After all are the desserts not the number one treats of the party?
We are having Mike Wazowski applesauce, and I cannot wait to show you how cute the containers turned out next week. 
Finally we have the Sully Slices aka the pizza slices that will be served for dinner. 
Thanks for stopping by and checking out some of the details for Wynn's monster party. I cannot wait to show you more of the party details next week.
