DIY ninja headbands
Welcome each guest to your dojo with a personalized headband. These look professionally made, but check out Ilda’s post from I Love Doing All Things Crafty for the no-sew, easy, DIY instructions for creating these accessories.
Full birthday party collection
From cake toppers to balloons, these ninja party collections will make your house look festive in no time. Check out this one for a classic ninja theme, or this for a Ninjago party.
Ninja Oreo pops
Who could resist these faces? Ilda of the blog I Love Doing All Things Crafty made these gorgeous Oreo pops. Dipped Oreos with frosted Ninjago faces will look super cute on the snack table, and taste great! Check out her blog post for detailed instructions.
Easy Ninjago cake
This Ninjago cake featured on NashvilleMoms.com, is easy to make and inexpensive. Two round cakes are first stacked together, then covered with a thin layer of yellow fondant. Colored frosting completes the look, for both the cake for the birthday boy and cupcakes for guests. Check out the post for great instructions.
Candy sushi
Real Ninjas eat sushi — candy sushi that is! Colleen, author of the blog Raising Lifelong Learners says she cooked up a triple batch of this yummy stuff in under an hour! Made of Rice Krispie Treats, candy and Fruit Roll-Ups, these treats look as good as they taste.
Breaking boards
You can’t be a Ninja without great strength! Cheryl of the blog Crack of Dawn Crafts came up with this game. First, take foam boards and cut them into plank-sized lengths. To play, an adult or other little Ninja holds the foam plank while each guest breaks the board with a karate chop.
Ninja rescue
After the kids release some energy breaking boards and busting a piñata, you can quiet things down with this fun game. Fill a bowl with rice, and then hide a few LEGO Ninjago mini figures in the rice. Kids must then try to retrieve the figures from the bowl of rice with chopsticks. Make the game harder for older ninjas by using real chopsticks and/or blindfolding the players. Make the activity easier by using “trainer” chopsticks, like these.
