Mandalorian Birthday Party

We had just a couple kids over this past weekend to celebrate my kiddo’s 8th birthday. My son’s only request was for a Mandalorian themed party, so I put together a simple and inexpensive little party for the three boys. There is not much on Pinterest yet for Mandalorian birthday party themes, so I thought sharing what I made could help another parent in a pinch. I am sure my son is not the only child obsessed with the show!

I normally plan games and prizes and maybe even a craft, but kept it simple this year with just food. The kids played Nerf guns and Legos and had more fun playing with the balloons than anything else.

Food:

We ordered pizzas for the main dish and then had chex mix, skittles, blue soda, and cake. I made labels for the blue cream soda bottles and called it “Spotchka” like in the show. The chex mix was “Mando’s Munchies” and I used skittles as “Whistling Birds”. The plastic container the skittles are in is from Dollar Tree, and though the plastic is very thin and cheap, this shape is really great for parties and I have used it a lot. The chex mix I just threw in a glass Pyrex bowl.

Whistling Birds- I used Skittles because my son loves them, but you could really use any candy for this
Mando’s Munchies- this could be potato chips, Cheetos, popcorn.. whatever your kiddo’s favorite snack is

Spotchka is a blue beverage mentioned in the show. I found blue cream soda bottles at Safeway that worked perfectly. You could also use blue juice or Kool-Aid

I ordered the cake from Walmart (the only place around here that had The Mandalorian)

Decorations:

I designed this simple banner with large buntings, but you could easily re-size them to be smaller and print out several to make a longer banner. The silver streamers, the “8” balloon and the silver and white balloons blown up and scattered around the floor were the only decorations I spent money on. We already had several Star Wars toy ships and action figures so we used those around the house. The tablecloth was black with stars and perfect for the party. I used black paper plates for both the pizza and the cake. It was very simple but my son was still really happy with everything.

I spelled out “This is the way” on my letterboard which I already had. You could spell out another quote or saying from the show. I bought a printable watercolor art piece of The Mandalorian from Etsy and printed it out on card-stock and clipped to a black clipboard.

You could go crazy with the streamers and add in black and white, but I kept it simple by just taping it from the chandelier to the walls around the dining room.

I grabbed a tray and filled it with propped up Star Wars toys, added a couple gold mercury candles and called it a centerpiece. It was pretty bland, but I don’t think 8 year old boys care too much about centerpieces anyhow.

Don’t forget to play the Mandalorian soundtrack in the background !

For party favors we printed out paper that looks like “Beskar” and wrapped XL Hershey chocolate bars with them. I wanted to make a little label that said “thank you” but didn’t get that far.

If you are trying to think of games to play, I do have a couple ideas for you! Fill several white balloons with air and using a black marker, draw a simple Storm Trooper face on each one. Then the kids can either shoot them with Nerf guns or play stomp the balloon (you could even fill them with candy!) .You could make a Mandalorian themed treasure hunt where the kids have to hunt for Mudhorn eggs (these could be candy filled Easter eggs or chocolate Kinder-eggs). Make your own pin-the-helmet-on-the-Mandalorian game.

I hope this gave you some ideas to throw your own Mandalorian birthday party!

And if you need a few gift ideas for the little Mando-lover in your life…

It was a good day to be in the forest. The sun was It was a good day to be in the forest.
The sun was shining through the trees and the smell of pine and wet branches was therapeutic. I snowshoed and Liam sled down the hill over and over again. Now we're back inside with hot cocoa in our bellies and ready for a nap.
Hope you had a good weekend and were able to spend some time outside.

I have grown to really love Winter, and get excite I have grown to really love Winter, and get excited with each snow fall. But I am already dreaming of being barefoot in the grass and foraging for herbs in the forest. There's nothing better than a late Spring breeze blowing through an open window and watching the forest explode with color and life. We still have a few more months before I can enjoy those things, so until then, I'll try to savor the cozy days of hot tea, cookies, crunchy snowy walks, and candle light. 
Are you itching for Spring already or happy with the snow?

We lost power for most of the day yesterday becaus We lost power for most of the day yesterday because of a windstorm. It's kind of like our snow day when this happens, so we spent the day making a fort in the living room, reading books and playing games. It was the perfect cozy day to bring out our latest @literatikids box. This month's box was by far Liam's favorite so far. (I'll show you what we got in my stories today) 
Our favorite monthly surprise, @literatikids has been sending us some really amazing and beautiful books to add to our little library. Head to the link in my bio if you are interested in 25% off your first box! Signing up is super easy. You choose which club your kiddo would fall into (books are chosen by age and reading level) then the 5 hand-selected books arrive at your door! You get a week to try out the books, then send what you don't want back for free. So far we have loved every book we have received! 📚 
When the power came back on last night, Liam and I were actually bummed😆 I love having a tech-free day and he loves building forts and using candles for light. He also loves when I cook a meal with our camp stove at home. It was nice to have running water again, though. That I definitely missed!

Have you ever put together a book basket? I use t Have you ever put together a book basket? 
I use to do these a lot when my son was a toddler and I decided to  make one today for #mtnwildstorytime to see how my 8 year old would like it. I was very surprised that he really loved it!! Even though everything in this basket are items we already own, it all seemed new and novel to him presented in a basket. Easiest story time ever! You can make these book baskets with any picture book, and I already have about a dozen ideas to share with you! Gather up things around your house that fit the theme or setting of the book. This could be a snack mentioned in the book, toys of the characters, coloring pages, seasonal items.... 
I gathered up some bear and wolf stuffed animals, wood toys, plastic toy animals, and paper masks. 
While we read through Bear and Wolf by Daniel Salmieri, my kiddo played with the bear and wolf toys and pulled out his rock collection and toy trees and set up a little forest scene. This story takes place during the Winter, so he took some white felt and laid that on the ground for snow. Then he decided he wanted to read through his wolf facts book (wolves are his favorite animal) and we watched some educational videos online about bears and wolves.  It was a long story time but the best one we have had in awhile. 
Happy reading ! 📚
