Easy and Fun Minecraft Party Ideas: Food, Favors, and Shirt

March 11, 2014 by Kaysi 3 Comments

This past week my oldest son turned 9!  I cannot believe that he is that old, it’s crazy!  Well he wanted to have a big minecraft party.  I had so much fun creating Minecraft party foods and trying to make things look like the game.  I think that everyone had fun and everything was a big hit!

Here is the party table!

I made a very simple cake.  I just turned it into a creeper.

In minecraft, you can get diamonds, gold and iron ore.  To make the diamonds, I just used kisses and then cut out circles with my Silhouette using blue glitter vinyl.  They loved how sparkly they were!

The creeper juice boxes were a huge hit, even for the older kids.  I just covered the juice box with green paper and put some black vinyl on it (I used the trace feature on my Silhouette).

Instead of having green cups, I used clear cups with the vinyl creepers.

The TNT bundles were fun and I had one little boy so excited to eat TNT.  I just tried together 6 pieces of red licorice around one black one (chocolate would work great too).

I created some Steve and Creeper candy bars (like my Valentine’s day one here).  You can get the free printable here.

Pretzel sticks were torches.  You could dip one end into chocolate to make them look more like torches too.

We had three different kinds of green drinks.  Green slurpee, lime sherbet and 7-Up and green Kool-aid.
