I *think* I posted this already, but it somehow got lost....


My 8 year old is a huge VP fan and wants a VP party for his birthday. Who could blame him?):p

I would really appreciate any ideas you may have for games, food, cake.....whatever!

Thanks so much!

:)

Hello GardenMom,

A VP birthday party sounds like a lot of fun. I don't know about any specific VP games, but a sweet filled pinata has got to be on the list of things to do. Although not actual VP characters, you can pick them up in a lot of high street stores these days.

If you've got access to a (colour) printer, you can get hold of big images of the VP characters in our Pinatapedia (http://www.rareware.com/games/pinatapedia/index.html). You might be able to take those and produce your own decorations or maybe masks by taking the head portions of the images and printing them to fill a page.

Hopefully that'll get you started and maybe trigger some other suggestions from other people on the forums.

Thanks for the link.

I took a look at the pictures and my son said "Pin the Tail on the Ponkey!"

So we have one game! Yay!

:D

"Pin the tail", that's a great starting point. I'm also trying to get hold of some photo's of a VP themed birthday cake a colleague had at his party to post here.

Ha, if you're talking about RedPhoenix HD's mousemallow cake, I was looking for that today, too :-)

This is the one I was thinking of:

Thanks for the pictures.

I also bought candies-Laffy taffy, Maccaroon, Red Hots, HoneyComb, Pixie Stix, etc...about 12 in all. Now to figure out what to do with the candy and the corrosponding Pinata....

I am also planning on spraypainting a bird pinata red (Hoping it looks like a Sour Crowla). We can't have the kids smashing GOOD pinatas can we?

Hey, most pinatas love going to parties, even if it does mean being smashed (of course, they come back to pinata central afterwards and get fixed back up :-) ).

Rashberry: Ah, that's different from the one I was talking about. Wonder where that one is...

Alright, with some help (translation: knowing a guy who knows a guy...), I managed to track down these pictures:

The cake was built by the moderator of the Viva Pinata forum on xbox.com for his daughter's birthday.

Thanks to GhostGundam for helping me find these pictures :-)

[GardenMom]

Nice cake!

I am thinking I may make a bunnycomb one as he tells me he loves me 'More than a Bunnycomb with a carrot' (Which seems like pretty high praise!)

Any thoughts for games?

Thanks again for all the help!

:D
