Blast-Off Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday! Cooper loved his rocket cake!

Happy Birthday! Cooper loved his rocket cake! To create a similar effect at home, bake a sheet cake, and use blue sprinkles on top of blue icing. Then pipe on the rocket shape and stars.

Jet Packs and Laser Guns

Jet packs and laser blasters anyone? The little guys really enjoyed (maybe a bit too much!) squirting each other and their mommies and daddies with their laser blaster water guns.

Jet packs and laser blasters anyone? The kids really enjoyed (maybe a bit too much!) squirting each other and their moms and dads with their laser blaster water guns.

These jet packs were so simple to make:

  1. Tape soda bottles together.
  2. Spray paint silver.
  3. Use orange and yellow tissue paper for flames.
  4. Add strings to loop around their shoulders.

Rocket Photo Booth

This DIY rocket photo booth was a huge hit! 1. We used insulation foam board to make a box (with the back side removed). 2. Then painted the whole box blue with spray paint. 3. Next was cut out white poster board for the rocket and trim out with red paint. Glue it to the box except for a few inches on the bottom. 4. Finally added tissue paper flames underneath and white paper stars in the sky. So cute!

Moon Sand Play Space

Space Birthday Party Ideas: Make a moon sand play area!

To keep all those kiddos busy, we set out a large tarp for a moon sand play area.

To make moon sand: combine 8 cups flour + 1 cup baby oil. Add in a bunch of space toys and trucks and you’re good to go!

DIY Bottle Rockets

This was the best part of the day. We made bottle rockets! 1. Fill film canisters halfway with water. 2. Drop in half of an alka-seltzer tab in each canister. 3. Seal the lid and flip over. And...BLAST-OFF! Ours went as least 40 ft. in the air. It was so much fun!
