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…

I wish you could smell these garden roses and this I wish you could smell these garden roses and this eucalyptus 😍 
It's been a long time since I treated myself to some flowers, and they really do make me so happy. 

It was 61 degrees and sunny today, and I needed the warm fresh air. Theo has been having serious sleep issues where he's screaming for hours every night. He has still yet to sleep through the night, and now he's up for hours at a time, and there's nothing I can do to soothe him. We are all exhausted. And now the only time he naps is if we're in the car. Lord, give me strength 🙏
The chiropractor doesn't seem to be helping, and I've called 3 pediatricians to only hear they're all booked until mid to late March for an appointment. 
I've had a headache for 4 days now that is just relentless, making it hard to concentrate on anything. My hip is already killing me and I'm only 16 weeks pregnant 😩
It's been a rough several days. 
So fresh flowers and epsom salt baths and essential oils and tea have been life-giving.
Home education with a busy crazy toddler... oh, th Home education with a busy crazy toddler... oh, the struggle is real 😆 
He craves constant attention, needs a snack every 35 minutes, wants to climb on everything and everyone around him, and he cannot communicate his needs yet,  but has THE biggest emotions. 
My older son struggles with concentrating on his work anyways, so throw a loud toddler in the mix that just wants brother to play with him... it can feel chaotic. 

So we take lots of wiggle and play breaks and it really benefits us all. I get 10 min to clean up or kick my feet up. The boys get to spend quality time together, use their imaginations, run around, and get their wiggles out. 
And I'm trying to get better at setting up mess-free activities and busy work for Theo to keep him occupied for longer. 
It hit me today as I observed this absolutely adorable scene of them playing restaurant while I made lunch... 
If Liam was in school, Theo would only see him a few hours a day during the week and on weekends. They'd both be missing out on so much. 

I know that's "normal" for any family's that choose public school, and there's of course nothing wrong with that at all. I'm just glad we all get to spend our days together, even when they're difficult. 

This life we have chosen can be so draining. I am really starting to feel the exhaustion that comes along with pregnancy these days. But I see so many beautiful moments like this throughout the week, and I feel very blessed indeed that we get to do life this way.
Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had su Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had such an amazing time ! The highlights were the stingrays showing off and squirting water at us, and the birds eating out of Liam's hand. For Theodore, it was all just fascinating. Every animal got an "ooo" and "awww" and wide eyes and a pudgy little finger pointing at it or a little hand excitedly waving high. 
Then we spent some time at the little toddler play area in the mall where Theo hugged every kid there and had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. 
I would say this week's homeschool field trip was a success!
Next week we're checking out our local library, and the week after that, the children's museum.
It's always so fun to explore a new area. ☺️

I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, but when I do, I make the most of it !
I put on a homemaker or homesteading podcast, light a candle, sip hot tea... 
It gives me time to slow down and take deep breaths, and relax a bit. (And I'll be honest, this time often also has a good snack involved or some dark chocolate I hid on the top shelf of the pantry 😆) 

I spent some time yesterday during nap time restocking some herbs in my new apothecary cabinet. I filled jars of nettle, peppermint, red raspberry leaf, and rosemary. These dark amber jars are on Amazon and pretty perfect for storing herbs ! 
I'm dreaming of what herbs I'll be drying from my garden to add to these shelves 🤩

I'm curious- if you use herbs in your home, what are your top 3 most used ?
S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanke S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanket, and admiring our new house on the hill. 

We've been busy setting up our new home, finding places for everything, and thrifting some furniture. Theo is already use to the new house and his new room. He loves the playroom in the basement and having a real bath tub! 
Liam had his first playdate on Friday, and we're planning out his lego table this week. Nate has been busy fixing things around the house and helping me hang art and things all over. 
 It feels good to be finding a new rythm again. To have a regular bath night, and cooking big meals we eat around the table my grandpa built. We're dreaming of the garden this Spring, what fencing we can put up for animals, what color to paint the house... 
and it just feels so so good to be in our own home again where we can do what we want and plan and dream for the future.
