Avengers

Shields, lightning and a training camp for every young hero.

Best for ages 4 to 10

An Avengers party is a team party, so give every guest a hero to be. Masks or capes at the door, red, blue and gold on the table, and a shield on the cake set the scene before anyone arrives.

Turn the garden into a training camp. An obstacle course with badges for finishing, a shield toss and a freeze game keep a crowd of heroes busy, and a group photo of the whole team in action poses is the picture every parent will want.
