Pokemon Party

Last month Our Pod Family Day hit all the marks for Tacoma’s young Pokemon fans. It’s been commonly requested lately and a popular birthday party theme! Not to mention all the fun of reliving our youth and trying to learn it all again as adults. We decided to go all out … Pokeball costume and all.

OR cut out shapes and colors that resemble the main characters and have the kids put them together
OR cut out your own shapes to mix and match
Try using playdough or clay for a new sensory experience
For new characters, come up with names and strengths/weaknesses

Make your own Pokeball
Find any balls in your house and turn this into a Pokeball.
Use paint, paper, markers, puff balls and ribbon, anything you can find in the red, white and black color scheme or create a color all your own.
