Hex Bug Party

My oldest son, Liam has turned eight years old!

I still can hardly believe it, time has just flown by so darn fast. So after much thought, Liam decided he wanted a Hex Bug Party!

When I ~~googled~~ pinterest Hex bug parties, there wasn't much out there, so I had to get my party thinking hat on to come up with some fun ideas. I stuck with an orange and white color scheme.

I made the glad b-day banner by way of tracing a Hex Bug hexagon tune piece onto white paper after which cut them out. I wrote the letters with an orange marker, after which I taped the cutouts onto a bit of white string and hung it up.

From the dollar store, I picked up a bunch of silly string spray. I then printed out "Bug Spray" labels and attached them to each one.

I also grabbed a bunch of glow sticks to hand out as favors. My boys love these things, so I figured their friends would as well. I made thank you tags and tied them to each one.

Now for the cake!

I ordered an orange cake from our bakery, but had them do the writing only on one side, this way I had room to add a Hex Bug Hexagon track piece to it. Then we added a Hex Bug to run around crazy on it. It turned out super fun!

I thought it would be fun to put some mazes by each place setting. I just googled 'printable mazes' and found one that I thought looked age appropriate and printed it out. It kept the kids busy for a minute .... maybe I should have found a more advanced one.

It changed into a Pizza party, so we ate pizza after which performed a few games.

This youngster loves Pizza!

(You may have noticed, I have a bunch of samples painted on the wall, I'm still deciding on a color, which do you like?)

Liam got two new Hex Bug V2 tracks for his Birthday. They are super fun, the Hex bugs can actually climb up and down the tubes. So we had it sitting on the coffee table for all of the kids to play with.

We additionally set up a Hex worm race song in Liam's room the usage of some of his other hex trojan horse tracks.

Each kid got to choose out a hex trojan horse after which that they had fun racing them to the end line.

But I think the kids had the most fun spraying their "Bug Spray." I had them go outside for this. It was such a hoot, there was silly string everywhere!
