Aliens & Robots Birthday Stuff Arrived!
[This is a brief intermission between chapter 12 of one book and chapter 5f of another book.]
The stuff from Oriental Trading Company arrived yesterday. I hate MOST of the stuff this company sells, but they have a wide selection of party supplies that come in handy about once a year.
Party items received for Aliens & Robots: Defenders of the Universe:
* spaceship paper plates, napkins, and cups
* alien cake napkins
* spaceship pinata
* alien head glasslamp beads, to be made into necklaces or bracelets for guests’ goodie bags
* alien mask-making kit for party craft
* space stickers for goodie bags
* alien tattoos for goodie bags
* alien head suckers for goodie bags
* alien toys for goodie bags
It’s harder to find robot stuff that isn’t licensed movie crap. Pixar’s* WALL-E and the older Robots movie items are still around online. But as we’re inviting a bunch of Waldorf kids, we don’t want to supply them with movie stuff. It’s good that we’re making our own robot. Ian and the boys have been working on it and it looks WONDERFUL. (I’ll take pictures soon!) We’re also including a bunch of robot coloring pages in the goodie bags.
* I should say that I recently watched WALL-E and really liked it. But Lucas watched it and hated it. It was too sad and scary when WALL-E got broken. So, we are steadfastly pretending that WALL-E doesn’t exist because who wants to be sad at a birthday party?
