Roughly 40 years ago, a show debuted that changed cartoons and inspired generations of racers. The show was Speed Racer and thanks to the 2008 movie, it is as big, or bigger, than ever. As a result, you can expect that at some point, your children will ask for a Speed Racer themed birthday party, and you are going to need to figure out how to provide that for them.

Thankfully, it is not as hard as you think when you use Speed Racer birthday party supplies, with a bit of imagination thrown in as well.

Let’s Race!

There are plenty of inexpensive race sets out there, and if you can create a truly amazing one that winds through the living room, you will have the kids sitting down and racing each other with their cars all day long. You can have a lot of fun with this as the kids have championship races against each other and battle each other for supremacy.

Watch The Show

The movie may not be out on DVD before the birthday, so why not let them see the show that started it all. They will love the old-school style of the show and it will keep them occupied for a few hours while you get everything ready for the cake and presents. It is highly unlikely the kids will not like the show, and you may even find yourself sitting down and watching a very popular show from your own youth.

Design Helmets

One of the iconic aspects of Speed Racer was his helmet, so why not let the kids design their own helmets? You can use form balls hallowed out to put on their heads, or something similar that they can wear. It may not look like the helmet Speed Racer wears but that is not the point. You can let them design it however they want and they will have a lot of fun creating their own Speed Racer style helmet.

Speed Racer is big again and kids are finding out about the old cartoon as well as a result. Why not throw them a legendary Speed Racer birthday party using supplies and these party ideas? It is easier than you think.

Since the 1930s, one of the most popular superheroes for kids of all ages has been Batman. As a result, many will ask that they have a Batman-themed birthday party, complete with all the Batman accessories and party supplies.

Thankfully, the task of putting together a Batman-themed birthday party is not as difficult as one might think, due in part to many of the Batman party supplies you can find on the web.

Batman is just one of many different superheroes, therefore when you have your party, why not turn everyone into a superhero? When you send out your invitations, ask each person who their favorite superhero is other than Batman. When they respond back, you can begin putting together capes and insignias to correspond with the superhero the child selected. Save Batman for the birthday boy, but let everyone else dress up as his or her own favorite superhero when they arrive.

Then, as you have assembled the Justice League, you can have a mock battle between the good superheroes and the evil super villain (played by mom or dad) who wants to take over the world. This activity will not only make the kids feel special and heroic, it will give them something to burn energy off on before the cake and presents come.

A fun activity for all the children is to make a fun utility belt out of various craft supplies. After you have made the belt, let the kids put what they want on it, whether it is streamers, stickers or any number of things. This activity puts their imaginations to work and gets them thinking in the mind of Batman.

Batman’s arch enemy is The Joker, so why not get all your little superheroes together in an effort to find The Joker. You can usually get a large clown balloon at various stores, and then all you have to do is hide it somewhere in the house, but not before you put candy in it, and give the children various clues on where it is. Then the children will search the house to find The Joker, and when they do, they can have fun battling him until he pops and the candy inside comes out.

Batman-themed parties can be a lot of fun, combined with some easy to find crafts and party supplies, you can turn a normal Batman-themed birthday party into a superhero affair!

Ask a group of people to name the best video game series of all time and you will get most of them saying “Super Mario Bros.” The reason for this is that the series has become iconic across the world since it debuted in the mid-1980s on a very primitive system called the Nintendo Entertainment System. These days, the Super Mario Bros. are still around, albeit on the Nintendo Wii, but they remain as popular as ever.

Your kids most likely know who Super Mario Bros. are, and they may just ask you for a Super Mario Bros. themed birthday party. Thankfully, you can provide it to them through the use of your imagination and these party ideas.

Pick Your Team

With the birthday boy or girl, and one other person, have them pick their team for the birthday. Each kid will pick someone, and when everything is said and done, let the birthday boy or girl choose if they want their team to be the Marios or the Luigis. When they choose, then each kid on the Mario team will get a red hat, while each kid on the Luigi team will get a green hat. At this point, the kids can decorate their team hats as they see fit and prepare themselves for the big event.

The Obstacle Course

The Super Mario Bros. games are all about obstacle courses, so let the kids go through an obstacle course with a member from each team racing each other. Have them jump boxes, go through tubes and such to get to the finish line. After each child has raced, you can add up all the times and see what team won. Then, you give the winning team something big, and the losing team something big as well for trying so hard. That way everyone feels like they won something. It could be a gift bag, or even a small trophy. The choice is yours.

Serve a Block Cake

There are several blocks in Super Mario Bros. that Mario and Luigi have to jump over, so when you make the cake, make it into small blocks that mirror the format of the original series that dates back the Nintendo and Super Nintendo. While you are at it, serve some other pastries that look like the little owls and flying turtles that you see in the games. The kids will love these treats, especially after the obstacle course.

Super Mario Bros. is iconic and even kids today know about the exploits of Mario and Luigi. Therefore, they may ask you for a Super Mario Bros. themed birthday and it is going to be up to you to provide it for them. With party supplies and these party ideas, this is not hard at all.

One of the most popular, if not the most popular, shows among kids is High School Musical. This show now has become an unbelievable phenomenon that has made stars out of the actors in the show, and turned millions of kids onto music.

Obviously, when something becomes this popular, it is only a matter of time before your kids start asking for a High School Musical-themed birthday party. So what ideas are good for this type of birthday party? Below are just a few examples.

Send The Invites

You can go two routes in terms of invitations. You can use invitations that come with the High School Musical party supplies, or you can go a step further just by using your computer. Print off tickets for the kids so they can take the tickets with them and get entry into the party at your house. Make it look like they are tickets to a special High School Musical show, starring your child. If a child forgets to bring their invite, no worries, let them in. You can even stamp their hands for reentry, just to add a bit more style to the whole thing.

Watch the Movies

What would a High School Musical-themed birthday party be without watching the movies? So, rent the movies, if you don’t already own them, and treat the kids to the movies while you prepare the rest of the birthday party. It is up to you if you want to show both of the movies, or just one of them. If you only have time for one, ask the kids which one they want to see and then go with that one for the kids to watch.

Dance Competition

One big thing about High School Musical is the dancing. Everyone in the movies dances, so get the kids dancing too. You can even have a dance contest that will have the kids showing their stuff on the dance floor. At the end of the dance contest, award everyone an individual award so that no one feels out of place. You can range it from “Best Dancer” and “Killer Moves!” to “Wackiest Dance” and “Future Star!”

High School Musical is unbelievably popular and if your child wants a High School Musical-themed birthday party, you need to be ready to provide it. However, thanks to creativity and some birthday party supplies, you can create a birthday party they will remember for a very, very long time.

Minnie Mouse debuted with Mickey Mouse way back in 1928, and since then she has been featured with him in a whole host of cartoons from Disney. Through the decades, she has become an icon for young girls because of her strength, determination and caring heart for Mickey Mouse.

Even today, eight decades after she debuted, she is still popular with young girls around the world, and many parents are quickly realizing that they may need to plan Minnie Mouse themed birthday parties for their children. However, with some know-how, ideas and supplies, a great Minnie Mouse birthday party can be made.

Stuffed Minnie Mouse

Since the 1930s, there have been stuffed Minnie Mouse dolls for sale around the world, and millions of girls have picked them up and loved them dearly. Why not let your guests make their own stuffed Minnie Mouse doll when they get to the party. There are plenty of doll patterns you can download off the Internet, and it will be a great gift for the girls to take home and show off.

Watch Minnie and Mickey

There are many DVDs that have been released that feature Minnie Mouse, so why not let the kids watch them while you get to work on the presents and the cake? It is a great way to keep them busy, while you work, but it also is a lot of fun for them.

Make the Minnie Bow

One of the most recognizable things about Minnie Mouse is her bow, so why not let the girls make their own bows out of fabric, construction paper or poster board. It can be kept in their hair with something as simple as a paper clip, and it will be a lot of fun for them to decorate and paint it.

Minnie Mouse is still popular, even as she approaches one century of age. Millions of girls in our current decade still love to watch the exploits of a cartoon mouse that debuted 80 years ago.

One of the most popular shows on television right now is Hannah Montana. This show, staring Miley Cyrus, who most adults will know is the daughter of 1990s country star Billy Ray Cyrus, revolves around Hannah Montana, a regular girl at school who leads a double life as a pop star at night. It has become so popular, that the stage shows of Hannah Montana, have sold out in minutes, and generated millions of dollars in revenue for concert promoters.

Naturally, it is quite likely that your child is going to want to have a Hannah Montana themed birthday party, and it is going to be up to you to provide that for them.

Duel-Identity

Since Hannah Montana doubles as a pop star during the evening and regular person, Miley Cyrus, during the day, then why not provide the children who come to the birthday party the chance to have a dual identity. When the kids arrive, have them choose a first name from one bag, and a last name from another bag. For the rest of the day, they can be identified by that name. Try and choose goofy names the kids will like.

Hannah Montana DVDs

Since their favorite show seems to be Hannah Montana, why not give the kids the chance to watch some of their favorite episodes on DVD. This will work perfectly if you are trying to get the food ready and presents out, and you need the kids to be distracted with something for a little while. Since it is a Hannah Montana themed birthday party, it will work perfectly to have some Hannah Montana DVDs there.

Pop Star Outfits

The kids are going to have to look like pop stars at a Hannah Montana themed birthday party, so using some Hannah Montana party supplies, you can create outfits that feature glitter, streamers and other cool items to turn everyone who comes to the party into a pop star. This will go great with the kids’ new names because it will make everyone at the party a pop star for a day.

One Giant Autograph

Since you are going to have a bunch of pop stars in your house, have them all sign a large picture of themselves, a group shot, which can then be kept for years to come. You can also take a photo of each kid in their best pop star pose, and give them the pictures after you print them out, so they too can remember when they were a pop star for a day.

Hannah Montana is a phenomenon across the world, and kids are clamoring to see her stage shows. You can be certain your child will ask for a Hannah Montana birthday party, so make sure you give it to them by using some great ideas.

There is a phenomenon from Disney that kids love. It is called Camp Rock and it follows the exploits of some teenagers at a rock and roll camp where kids learn how to become rock stars. One of the main attractions of this show is that it features the Jonas Brothers. If your child has seen this show, you might be asked by them to provide a Camp Rock themed birthday. It is not a hard task, but without some preparation, it can be a difficult task to accomplish.

Be a Rock Star

Before the birthday party, write out a bunch of names of rock stars on cards that the kids will pick their names out of. You will also have to make sure you have wardrobe items available as well. So, when the kids pick, if someone gets Elvis Presley, then give them the cardboard cutout of a guitar that they can decorate, and give them a small white jacket like Elvis would wear. This is a large project for you, but the kids will love it. Ensure that you allow the kids to re-pick if they want someone different (it is unlikely a boy will want to be Madonna). There is also nothing wrong with duplicates.

Rock Pictures

After the kids are dressed like their rock stars, you can take pictures of them in rock and roll poses (guitar in the air, etc.) The kids will love this and you can even edit them on the computer so the kids have a background of a stage, and their rock and roll name on the picture.

Watch Camp Rock

After all is said and done, you can take a break while the kids watch Camp Rock on the television, and you prepare the pictures, get the cake ready, or put out the presents. When you need a break, there is no better way to handle the kids than this.

Camp Rock is a very popular television show, and there are going to be many kids out there who want to have a Camp Rock themed birthday party. Thankfully, you will be prepared to put on the best Camp Rock birthday party around with some party supplies and these party ideas.

The Bratz are well known for their “Passion for Fashion”. They have taken over from Barbie as the favorite doll for the newer generation of girls.

If you have a daughter who loves the Bratz, then you may need to think about planning for the possible Bratz themed birthday party. Thankfully, using some supplies and these party ideas will help you plan a great birthday party.

Design Bratz Clothing

With some simple fabrics, already cut into the right sizes, you can let the girls design their own Bratz clothing. They can accessorize the clothing, add what they think will work great and put it together in a cool way. This will help the girls work together and it will be a lot of fun as they try out different looks to see how much they have a passion for fashion.

Passion for Fashion Contest

Once the girls are through designing the clothes for their dolls, it’s time to have a passion for fashion contest. To make this contest fun and entertaining, it is best to have many different categories so every girl can have a chance to win a prize. For example, there can be a category for the shiniest clothing and another one for most colorful. No matter what the clothing looks like, make sure the girls feel good about their designs by praising each one.

Watch the Movie

A movie about the Bratz, but in live-action form, was released recently and it would be a good bet to rent the movie for the kids and help them see the Bratz characters that they love on the television screen. It will also give you the opportunity to work on some things for the birthday, including putting out the presents and setting up the food and cake.

The Bratz is a very popular doll franchise that just seems to be getting bigger. It is the Barbie of the 21st century, and they are already outselling Barbie across the world, so it seems they are here to stay.

If your kids want a Bratz themed birthday party, then don’t stress, you can put one together for them with just some quick thoughts about the franchise, some imagination and party supplies.

Just use some paper bags they can wear on their bodies and heads, and let them color them and decorate them with Ben 10 birthday party supplies. Once they are done you can marvel at their creativity in the various alien life forms they come up with.

Show Them Off

Now that they have made the alien costumes, have the kids do their best impressions of aliens.

This will easily be one of the most fun parts of the entire birthday party for some of the kids.

Watch The Show

If you are going to have a Ben 10 party, then you are going to need to provide the kids with the show to watch while you prepare the food and presents.
