We celebrated Henry's seventh birthday with a kickin' ninja party! I found this invitation on Etsy and it was exactly what Henry wanted.
It wouldn't be a party at our house without costumes! Here are my two favorite ninjas.
Ninja Henry!
Before his party guests arrived, Henry helped me set up the decor. It was fairly simple this year.
Door sign (from Etsy).
Birthday banner.
Ninja pinata.
Black lanterns over the food table.
We served ninja swords (pretzel rods), edamame, oranges, PB&J "sushi," and cupcakes.
Henry requested cupcakes with his favorite ganache icing. Mmmm!
Once the guests arrived, we got started on some activities. The first was to find your ninja name. Henry's was "Rikutoshifu" and Will's was "Meikitata." They all made name tags.
The next activity was making origami ninja stars. Once they were made, they kids had to knock balls off paper tubes.
Then it was on to ninja training.
Obstacle course.
The ninjas-in-training had to stealthily steal a cup from Nana. They were so good that she never caught them in the act!
We threw rubber ninja stars at this target.
The final activity was defeating the red ninja (pinata).
After all their hard work, the ninjas celebrated the completion of their ninja training with lots of food and some sweet cupcakes!
What a fun ninja party for Henry!
