Planning A Superhero Birthday Party NJ Kids Will Love

By Daniel Edwards


The imagination of a child is something to be encouraged and cultivated. There is only a limited amount of time when children truly believe in things they can't explain. People who have the power to fly and change into mythical beings whenever necessary, seem totally reasonable to them. Kids like to imagine they have the same abilities and will mimic their favorite storybook and movie heroes' impossible exploits for hours on end. These are the years when a superhero birthday party NJ parents plan can be really memorable.

In middletown NJ, as everywhere else, moms and dads can plan parties around these characters by recreating the costumes, masks, protective shields and other special effects used in stories. You can purchase plain masks, favors, and other decorations for a nominal cost from your local special occasion store and customize them to fit the theme of your event. You don't have to spend large amounts of cash, but it will take some extra time and creativity to make it special.

Create the appropriate atmosphere by using crayons, paint or chalk on rolled paper to make a mural depicting the environment the hero works in, and hang it in the room where the party is being held. You probably already have copies of movie soundtracks to play, and there are easy lighting techniques you can use to make the room shadowy and mysterious. Invited guests might be provided with capes and masks when they arrive.

Moms should consider enlisting dads to play the part of the evil villain. The kids will probably be only too happy to team together to defeat the villainous adult. Games that include battles, chases, and warring sides are better played outside where the chances of something being broken or torn are at a minimum.

Big glasses and one of dad's ties can change a superman into his alter ego in a flash. You could set up a screen or curtain so that the heroes can change costumes and go back and forth from one identity to the other. You can plan a game similar to tag with the tagger passing kryptonite, or some other sensitive item, to the child tagged.

A lot of young children have peddle and even battery operated play vehicles you could transform into famous cars with super power engines and special effects. Green face paint can alter your little ones into powerful hulks, and an aluminum covered cardboard helmet will make an iron man out of your shiest guest.

Most powerful heroes use protective equipment and weaponry to help ward off the bad guys. If you are considering these props with the costumes, it would be a good idea to give parents of invited children some advance warning. You might also suggest that their children come casually attired so they can easily change into the costumes you have prepared.

Parents seem to throw more and more elaborate parties for small children. They often rent special playground equipment and purchase one of a kind refreshments. A simple, creative alternative with a hero theme can be just as fun and much more memorable.
