9th Pokemon Party

My son wanted a "Fossil Pokemon" party, so we did a mix of pokemon stuff and made some stuff. The pikachu with an excavator hat was something my artistic brother drew on his computer, because we couldn't find pikachu in that kind of hat.

I cut out the "thanks" letters with my Cricut machine by finding a pokemon-like font on dafont.com.

My in-laws have a large room in their house for get togethers. So, we were able to set Up tables and a craft area. I decorated the tables with little centerpieces from party city.

Food: I found the pikachu pops as an idea online from a few different places and the same with charmader cheetos, but I wanted more.

Crafts- I found a lot of free stuff online by searching and on teachers pay teachers: like the toy-a-day pikachu, and color by numbers pokemon pictures.

  Ditto Drinks (grape kool aid bursts) Whalelord? Water Health punch - blue raspberry Hawaiian Punch mixed with yellow lemonade to made a good green color.

• Desserts

  Cupcakes with red, yellow, black sprinkles Kabuto cookies: principe sandwich cookies. I put dots of red gel icing eyes and then put a bit of icing to "glue" on cashew halves to make legs. Digletts delights: So, I created the digletts delights from chocaye twinkies cut in half, pink bubble gum jelly bellies, and carrot cake Oreos for dirt and black icing for eyes. My son I insisted that we use the carrot cake Oreos for the crumbled dirt because he liked the color better than golden Oreos and said regular ones were too dark. I Used pink jelly belly jelly beans (I used bubble gum but I bet strawberry would taste better with the chocolate) I cut a slit in the Twinkie to shove the jelly bean in to hold it in there well. I put blobs of icing and put the half twinkies on there and then sprinkled the "dirt" all around.

• Party Favors

  Favors: We spent the two weeks before making the favors from plaster of Paris, sand, and water. One cup of plaster, a sprinkle of tan/gold sand and some water (Maybe half a cup-had to eyeball it to get a mix that wasn't too watery). I filled rectangle soap molds (from hobby lobby) half way and then put a pokemon minifigure (ordered off Amazon- they come from china and take a month or so to arrive) and put in a few acrylic colored jewels (Amazon) and a sprinkle of little shells (Amazon)

• Activities / Games

  We had a game where we hid gold and silver bottle cap cutouts for the kids to find. I found a bottle cap silhouette online and cut It out on my cricut. The kids found them and cashed them in for pokemon fruit snacks that I bought at Walmart.
