As you know I love to keep our walls white. Clean, pure and simple.

Especially in the kids rooms. With all the toys the rooms are rather colourful anyway and I feel that wallpaper or a colour would just be too much {maybe I am wrong and maybe I will change that idea one day and tell you – coloured walls are the best thing ever… but for now …white it is…}

And one reason is actually that we can hang pretty prints wherever we like and want them. Like these fun design posters from Minikubo. It is a brand new label that you seriously need to check out.

“Minikubo was born out of the desire to fulfill every child’s free spirit. Our philosophy is to inspire parents to let their children be children.We want children from every corner of the world, to believe in themselves, their capabilities and to never doubt their qualities.

Minikubo isn’t just another brand, it’s a way of life.”

Bold, colourful prints to give every kids room a little extra piece of happiness and fantasy. Difficult to decide on a favourite… the cool pineapple or a blue pear? Or an addition to the cactus collection?

I think they are all so fun and make a great statement…

Bravo Sara and looking forward to any new additions.

I love when I can share brands and/or products that have something for grown ups too. Caroline Diaz and Celine Héno decided to unite their creativity and energy they create Mini Labo in 2004.
Unique, poetic & colourful graphics decorate everyday objects. A small and vivid universe that makes your days a little brighter…

Mini Labo is also offering their services to other brands and thanks to many collaborations, the Mini Labo range has some lovely limited edition pieces as well as great products decorated in their happy designs.

It is truly hard to choose from the e-shop – all the paper products are lovely {can one have too many notebooks???} and the printed papers are super for DIY ideas… dollhouse wallpaper for example…

Superhero Birthday Party

Superhero party {incl free party printables}
My boy turned S I X!

And he wanted to be a hero for his special day… so a superhero party we did and yes it was super fun! Rather cosy and at home but then I think: Aren’t those the best parties anyway? A little more personal…

I searched the net about ideas {Thank you Pinterest} and partnered with my favourite party supply store Little Lulubel to add the right tableware and other little details to make it super special.

My friend Claire came up with some very cool printables that are now available for you right here. {Planning a superhero party too? We got you all sorted…}

The table was set with matching plates, napkins & cups. Some fun stickers on the wooden spoons and straw flags. BOOM!

Silver confetti all over and we were ready for the little guests… I mean R E A D Y… we started at 2pm so you imagine the excitement… and you wonder if a party starting at 8 am would be appropriate…

Knock Knock… the guests are arriving…

After some birthday cake and refreshments we did a few, Superhero themed, party games. We seperated the kids in two groups:

* Building a KAPLA skyscraper. The highest won! {teamwork exercise…}

* In our long corridor we set up a little trail so the kids could walk/climb/jump over some obstacles like real heroes

* We built a tower of cans {houses} that the kids had to bring down by throwing a ball {In German it is called Dosenwerfen but no idea what that would be in English… anyone?}.

*  And we did pot hitting which was super fun and such a cool old fashion party game. When I was a kid it was a standard game at any party. Today no kid knows what that is… but they loved it.

*  I also painted a white sheet with some skyscrapers and clouds so the kids could pretend they were flying around in the sky or climbing up a skyscraper… and I took some fun pics

And in the end we had a pinata! One with a magic pull string…

We nearly, even the kids, forgot about it… so it was a big surprise for everyone.

We had fun and all the little big superheroes left with a smile…

 

 

PS: There is a Superhero party kit available at Little Lulubel right here. I selected items one by one and did my own but this has everything for a great party.
