Skylander Birthday party for my little 5 year old fan!

 
I don't know about you, by I had no clue what Skylanders were until my 5 year old discovered the game at a friends house a few months ago. Since then, he has been obsessed and has asked for them for his birthday every day since!
 He originally wanted a Star Wars themed party but after seeing his clear obsession, I opted for Skylander instead, which, at first, became a challenge as this is not quite as popular! So, when the party store have nothing with your theme, you become creative and I am fortunate that many others have done the same and Google was my new best friend!

 So, here is what we did! He loves the chompies and so we centered around the color green. There are 8 elements of: undead, water, air, fire, magic, earth, tech, and life. We created at least one game for each element.




For water we had a good ole water balloon toss!
 

For undead we had cut out sharks out of water! Guests had to use a straw to suck the shark to
 and race to a finish line and back to water to restore life!
For earth they also were able to crack open homemade dirt rocks to reveal a crystal! (I found this recipe on Pinterest).
Also for air guest got a balloon raced to the chair to pop!
As a side game we had pin the tail on Spyro. My 13 year old son drew him on a poster free hand! :)
Fire was blowing out the candles!

Also for earth we had a scavenger hunt where we had guests find a stick, leaves, and a rock or pebble.
Games without pictures: we allowed for guests to plant flowers in tiny pots for life.
For tech we had 6 gold cans that we stack 3-2-1 and guests had a squirt gun to knock them down.
For magic we  had a shark (Terrafin) pinata with candy and prizes in! (Remember Griffin is only 5!)

For food we had a combination of things: not pictured are level up lemonade (which was gingerade punch) power up pizza and chompies truffles (oreo truffles)
Griffins fav are my chocolate cupcakes and that's what he got

We dipped pretzels in green candy melts sprinkled with green sugar for prism break pretzels.
 


We had watermelon slices for wrecking ball watermelon.

Super tasty golden gear pineapple!

No party is complete with out stomp smash fruits and veggies!
 
Lastly were the favors which guests had Skylander Giants coloring pages, the prizes from the pinata and these gumball favors with thank you notes.
 
Of course most of the presents were also Skylander as well so our Griffin had a GREAT day!
On to planning the next party...a Fashion Swap wine tasting with all my fav gals! :)
