A Furious Five

Ethan had one Kickin' Kung Fu Party for his "Number 5 birthday." He and I had a great time planning and preparing as much Kung Fu Fun as we could think of. Ethan had some great ideas and plans of his own. It was fun to plan with him and make his ideas a reality. In his mind, momma can do anything!


We invited 4 of Ethan's best friends...together they became The Furious Five plus Avery of course! We started with a game of Master Says. Master Says show me your best Kung Fu move!

The boys had a dumpling race with chopsticks and marshmallows. They each tried to get the most marshmallows in their bowl before time was up. Master and Po fight over dumplings with chopsticks in the first movie and Ethan loves to use chopsticks with the chopstick helpers so it was a perfect game.


Next we had a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament up the stairs. The winner of each round moved up the stairs to his new challenger while the loser moved down to try his hand at defeating the next player. While they may not really get who won the whole tournament they really liked playing.

The Furious Five had a staring contest with masks. Ethan was thrilled to be Po and face off with Master Shifu.



Tai Lung is the villain in the second movie and of course the Furious Five defeat him. I had Bob draw Tai Lung faces on balloons and the masters did their best to conquer the bad guy!

Finally a few karate chops were in order. Each Kung Fu Master took a chop out of a Kit Kat stack of boards. They each took pride in breaking through so many layers of boards.

His birthday packed a real punch! It was fabulous and my big boy was delighted with every activity, present and birthday wish!
