Spiderman


Spiderman

Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman . Lawd have mercy! Yall I had a secret crush on Spiderman when I was growin g up. Nobody ever knew about it. I surely wasn't going to expose my crush to anyone exspecially with it being a cartoon character. To be honest it was something about the way he could actually stick to the side of a building, lol. Seriously I remember always thinking "how is that possible"...I'm in love". I think because I didn't know, was the reason I was in love, don't ask. 
I think I still have small crush, but don't tell my husband.lol. Maybe I can get him to dress up like Spiderman this Halloween. lol.
Anyway back in July I made some spiderman decorations for my little 4 year old cousin. I don't think he knew I was bringing decorations. So while he was outside, I put giant spiderman heads on each wall (it was a small livingroom so it made a huge difference). I made black spiders to go around the heads. So with only that on the walls, my little cousin walks back in and his mouth just fell open, he was cheezing from ear to ear. And he said in a whisper "wowww". That was confirmation... I had accomplished my goal. Throughout the party he kept coming to me saying "Shon (my nickname) I like my party".
That is truely my favorite part of decorating for childrens parties, seeing their big smiles...Priceless! So I hope these decorations help you put that endless smile on your childs face. Remember it doesn't take much to make a child smile.

Decorations
For the entry door, tape some red bulletin board or wrapping paper on the door. Make and tape the spiderman symbol to the door. Just that symbol will say enough.
In the party room, use black pipecleaners to make 4 spiderwebs and put them up in the corners of the ceiling/walls. Dangle plastic spiders from them, or sit bigger size plastic or rubber spiders in the center of the webs. You can also make your own spiders using different size pompoms and pipecleaners
Take red posterboad and draw spiderman heads as big as you can on the posterboard. Detail his face, cut out and tape to the wall. You can make about 4 to 6 spiders to go around each head that you make. This adds fullness to the walls.  Red blue and black balloons work good in corners on the floor or tabletop. To make your own balloon weight check out my Finding Nemo decorations where I show you step by step how to make your own balloon weight.
Make a Happy birthday  banner using red or blue posterboard or banner paper
I also like to add the birthday childs age all over the walls to fill in empty spaces. Just use matching colors.
I also encourage you to use your childs spiderman toys for decorations. Sit them everywhere.
If you have big toys, use them for a centerpiece on the party table(s).
 The table can be covered with a spiderman tableclothSPIDER-MAN PLASTIC TABLECLOTH or you can make your own with a blue or red tablecloth, if you can find some spider webb sheer like material, place on top of the tablecloth.
Use toy or cake as the centerpiece.
Place any tiny Spiderman toys around the table
Sprinkle confetti
Tie two or three balloons to the toy centerpiece
