Treasure Hunt
Make up some clues so that you can create a treasure hunt style game where children can work individually or in teams. Hide clues in the house and the garden so that the guests can seek out an eventual Ben 10 related prize.

Musical Statues
Download the theme tune from Ben 10 to use as the music to accompany a game of musical statues in which the guests should pose in their best alien stance to win. This method can also be used for musical chairs and pass the parcel with the prize being a Ben 10 figure.

Crafts
Buy some plain cotton t-shirts, fabric paints in the Ben 10 colors of black, white, green and yellow and templates that will enable the children to create their own personalized designs. This method can also be used to create pictures and cookies or cakes, giving the children a sense of achievement and giving them an item that they made themselves which they can take home in their Ben 10 party bag.

Hide and Seek
The original game of hide and seek can be given a Ben 10 slant by the seekers being dressed up as aliens in order to locate Ben 10. This game can be developed further by obtaining a laser tag type game that will enable the main character to do battle against the aliens.

Holding a Ben 10 party should be quite easy with all the themed invites, decorations and other supplies that you can get hold of these days. And if you can keep the little terrors busy with some of the above games, it will all be over and you can sit back and relax in no time at all!

1. How To Make A Ben 10 Themed Party Bag On A Budget

Buying a Ben 10 Cake

Ben 10 has been growing in popularity for the last 5 years and as such supermarkets have cottoned on to this market and now offer you a few options for readymade Ben 10 cakes. If your local store is not quite there yet, you may find a helpful bakery locally who will turn a Ben 10 image you take them into a Ben 10 birthday cake, but this can sometimes cost more than you want to pay. If you prefer to keep costs down, making a cake yourself can be the best option.

Make Your Own Ben 10 Cake With Ben 10 Cake Toppers

If you are a dab hand at cake decorating, then you won’t need any tips from me, but you may need some inspiration. Check out our popular post of 10 stunning examples of Ben 10 cakes others have made before you.

If you are not quite up to that sort of creativity, Ben 10 cake toppers can be just the thing for you. With these you can bake the basic cake yourself, top it with ready roll icing and just place the topper on the top and you’re done! Phew.

You can find a Ben 10 cake topper for both a rectangular and a circular cake but make sure you bake your cake so that the topper will fit. The square version is 7” in size and the circular one is 7.5” in diameter. Alternatively you can find toppers for Ben 10 cupcakes if you prefer these individual cakes to the larger scale version. You can also find combinations of the two if you shop around online.

Toppers are either edible icing sheets or made of edible rice paper. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months or if frozen will last a year. Rice paper toppers can be cut out with scissors and then stuck to the cake with icing.

For added interest, try adding some green food dye when making the cake so you can carry on the alien party theme. You can also have the topper personalised with some retailers for that extra special touch.

One more option is the Smash Down Ben 10 Cake Decorating Kit. This reusable kit comes with a 3” Ben 10 figure which moves when you press a button as well as three small plastic pictures of various aliens. You will need to bake and ice a cake but can use these items to decorate it.

Finally if you fancy being a bit creative but are not up to fancy icing, try creating a scene on the cake top with your child’s Ben 10 figures – make sure you wash them thoroughly first of course! You could even buy them some new ones and make the cake part of their presents.

1. Advantages Of A Ben 10 Cake Topper

You know the party will be a Ben 10 birthday adventure and have ordered relevant decorations.

You have decided on the food and have bought Ben 10 tableware.

You have chosen whether to buy or bake the Ben 10 cake.

You have some ideas for Ben 10 party games.

Now you are left with organising the Ben 10 party bags to send the little terrors home with, when at last you can collapse on the sofa!

Whilst this blog post assumes you are having a Ben 10 party, the ideas could obviously be applied to any theme. The party specialist Party Delights offers party paraphernalia for more themes and characters than you can imagine!

So you have two options for Ben 10 loot bags – you can go the quick route and order the prefilled version from Amazon or have a bit of fun and design one yourself. You could even get your child to help choose items and fill the bags.

Personally I find some of the contents in the prefilled bags a bit tacky and not always completely on theme. So I prefer to choose things that I know my son would like to receive if he had gone to a party. I also like to keep as many of the items tied to the party theme rather than just chuck in any old toy. So where do you start?

1. Set a budget

When you have decided how much you can afford to spend on party bags divide that by the number of children you are expecting at the party.

2. Find a party supplies retailer

Generally party supply companies are the best place to start when looking for party bag fillers as they specifically stock the smaller, cheaper themed toys that you will need.  Amazon has a basic selection such as balloons, bubbles and blowouts but for anything more adventurous, and certainly for themed favours, I highly recommend you check out Party Delights.

3. Make a list of the themed favours on sale

Note down all of the themed favours that you find on the party supplies website and work out how much they cost per item. They are usually sold in multi packs so you need to calculate the per item cost. Order your list by descending unit cost. For example, from Party Delights I found the following Ben 10 items:

I did find some extra favours on Amazon, such as 10cm figures to build, and sometimes the Amazon prices were cheaper.  However, most of the party favours from Amazon are sold by Marketplace sellers and unless you are lucky enough to get all your favours from the same seller you will pay multiple delivery charges, which outweighs any individual item price differences.

4. Choose your main favours

Allocate about half of your per child budget to your main favour. Then select two other cheaper themed items. Remember if you are inviting both girls and boys to your party that you need suitable unisex toys.

5. Spend your remaining budget

Work out how much money you have left and choose some sweets and odd toys to use up your remaining budget. The Party Delights website helpfully orders their odd toys in price order so you can easily find something in your budget.

6. Choose between a loot bag or box

Now you have decided what will go in your party bag you need a loot bag or box to put everything in.  Bags cost approx. 20p each and boxes approx. 35p each. Bags are smaller than boxes so make sure you will be able to fit everything inside.

7. Fill that party bag

Once all of your party supplies arrive get packing! Don’t forget a thank you note and a slice of cake!

Here are some examples of party bags I could have made with different budgets:

£1.50 – wristband, balloon, blowout, Haribo Starmix & Swizzles lolly.

£2.50 – stickers, wristband, bubbles, Cola Bottle sweets & dinosaur figure.

£3.50 – colouring set, stickers, balloon, Swizzlers & tattoo.

If you have any good ideas for making themed party bags on a budget I’d love to hear them. Please leave me a comment.
