My 11 year olds Minecraft party was a huge success! The boys absolutely loved getting to paint their own swords. We cut holes out of Home Depot bags for them to wear to keep from getting the acrylic paint on their clothes. These bags quickly became their "armor" and they wanted to keep them on even after they finished painting the swords.
They also loved the Creeper Juice, cupcakes and TNT packs.
Of course the Creeper pillow I made my son was his favorite gift and his friends think I am the coolest mom in the world :)
