Ninja Turtles Birthday Party

Last year I helped my sister-in-law prep and plan a candy buffet table for her son's 3rd birthday party. My nephew Michael LOVES the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so his mom wanted to plan a fun party using TMNT as a theme on a budget.

She decided to do a fun pizza and dessert party. It was so much fun and she pulled it off perfectly!

 My Sister-in-Law made these adorable TMNT masks, armbands and turtle shells for the kids to "Pick Which Ninja Turtle" they wanted to be
She cut the masks and arm bands out of a super soft and flexible fabric
 She spray painted oval aluminum take-out tins green to make the turtle shells

Here's a list of the TMNT Themed candy I used:

Donatello's Bo: Little Licorice pieces in multiple colors
Leonardo's Swords: Marshmallow Twists
Michelangelo's Sardines: Swedish Fish
Raphael's Red Mints: Red Peppermints
Cowabunga Chewy Pops: Tootsie Pops
Sewer Covers:Peppermint Patties
Ninja Smoke Bombs: Hersey Kisses 
Turtle Shells: Reese's Minis 
Sewer Worms: Gummy Worms   

I printed my signs out in a word document and added TMNT clipart. I then pasted them on green cardstock and placed in little plastic frames.
