    Hi Mandy, Loved your party ideas. What did you paint your liter bottles with for the villian bowling?

    Mandy H wrote:

    Hi Elisa! Just regular ol' spray paint! :) I just used what I had on hand, so it was a variety of different brands. I did not prime them first either. Took a couple of coats though! Thanks!

    Thanks for all the awesome ideas. Were the bags like that from Oriental trading or did you do that? Also, the bags and shirt for your som with the initial where and how?

  • Mandy H

    Mandy H wrote:

    Hi Shelly, The bags from Oriental Trading come exactly as you see pictured. Other than adding a name tag, I did nothing to those! The shirts were iron-on transfers ... the image was part of the printable party kit I ordered from Anders Ruff. I enlarged them & printed onto transfer paper, and then ironed onto white tees. Each child received one with his/her initial in the large Oriental Trading bag, along with a cape & mask.

    I'm sorry, Rebecca. I wasn't able to find them today either. I ordered them back around Thanksgiving, so it's possible that they're discontinued now. So sorry!

    oh and more questions im sorry . how did you play the xray vision guessing game? thanks

    Mandy H wrote:

    Thank you, Lorelei! I appreciate your kind words! The tin signs are from www.posters.com. http://www.allposters.com/-st/Entertainment-Tin-Signs-Posters_c78192_.htm The canisters for the popcorn are clear acrylic jars I purchased at Wal-Mart in the kitchen dept. And since the kids at my party were really young, we kept the games simple. For the X-ray vision game, I just passed the bags around one at a time & let the kids stick their hands in and guess. When it was guessed correctly, we moved on to the next bag.

    NICE! How did you do this?

    Mandy H wrote:

    Thank you both! The beanbag game board was simply a sheet of thin lumber from Home Depot that my husband drilled large holes into & I painted (by hand). The comic tins were from www.posters.com.

    We were playing with a bunch of 3 & 4 year olds, so there really were no rules. LOL! We opted for this rather than a pinata ... each balloon was filled with a small trinket (tattoo, sticker, bouncy ball, tiny cars & skateboards, etc) and each kid had to pop the balloon in any way they could to get to the prize. It was a total free-for-all and totally wild! :)

    how did this game work?

    Mandy H wrote:

    It was just a sensory guessing game. All of the items hidden in the bag were very textural - feather, pinecone, dry rice, etc. The kids closed their ones one at a time, and we went down the line one at a time allowing them to stick their hand in to make a guess until someone guessed properly.

    The large tote bags were from Oriental Trading, and I believe they've been discontinued. The small treat bags on the bottom shelf were homemade. And the capes were from Wal-Mart. :)

    Mary Ellen - I'm not sure which letters you're asking about specifically, but all of the printables came from AndersRuff.com (including the superhero intial emblems on the shirts). Thanks!
