Star Wars Party For A Soon To Be 6yr Old :D

Hi everyone, was wondering if you lovely people could help me out :D

We're planning on doing a Star Wars Party for my son as a surprise for his birthday.
I already have a couple of ideas, I was thinking of making Jedi capes for the kids (it will only be 3) & a pinata Death Star by making a paper mache ball (think that will work) & I've seen how to make green soda drinks with ice cream & lemonade. Oh & also print out some colouring sheets :D

Have you guyes got any other ideas please? :)

Does anyone know the best place to find a pattern to make the capes? I've looked on-line but was just wondering if anyone else had made one.

Thankyou so much :beer:

    Crafty - I'm sure that both Rainmac and Rusty have done Star Wars parties so may just be worth a mention on the card thread in case they haven't seen this.

    I hope this works. There was a lady quite recently who did a star wars party for her son, it sounded brill!

    My 7yr old just had his party at home last month about 8 all together. We did star Wars theme, they had to do little tasks to receive their Jedi certificate. The invites we did ourselves saying they had been summoned by the high council for Jedi training, they had to complete a mini obstacle course spar with Yoda (my husband), make there own lightsabers - these were swimming woggles/noodles cut in half and silver and black tape wrapped at one end for a handle. Homemade green playdough to sculpt yoda.
    But the best of all was a treasure hunt outside and in which led them to their party bags in my case plastic cups filled with sweets and wrapped in cellophane. When they arrived we had an episode of clone wars playing on a projector we had borrowed. The cake was 4 swiss rolls some royal icing an licquorice for the handle and the light part was blue buttercream. They ate wookie cookies and drank yoda soda (lemonade with a touch of green food colouring and new labels made) plus hotdogs and burgers

    The boys were great and we did have the weather on our side.

    There's loads of stuff about Star Wars parties on the net if you have a google. I made Dagobah Swamp milkshake mix to go in the party bags, just some milkshake powder in a cellophane cone with instructions about how much milk to add on a label. I found Star Wars stickers for the party bags on ebay, got them from America.

    Good luck xxx
