Gravity of Motion

Are you familiar with Minecraft? It has a huge following... however, I figure you may be familiar with the concept or have never heard of it. Minecraft is a game that involves placing blocks to build anything you can think of. It is a game focused on building and creativity players to construct structures from textured cubes in a 3D world. Gameplay in the commercial version includes two main modes: Survival that requires players to acquire resources on their own and maintain their health and food as well as Creative, where the player has an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and has no notion of hunger or health.



Our children awake to a home decorated with birthday party decorations for their birthdays.



For the table setting, I made Minecraft plates and cups. Just another blog I stuck the Minecraft face on the cups. I used a Minecraft face to glue the plates. Then, I glued (hot glue around the edges) an unglazed plate on top.



Minecraft blocks were part of the table decorations. I also hung a few from the ceiling.



The children loved them.



This link will lead you to the Ultimate Guide to Minecraft Paper Products. They were quite simple to create.



I made my son's creeper shirt using freezer paper stenciling.



I printed a few Minecraft images to create a birthday sign. Then I used a Minecraft word generator (to add the words I wanted) to the Creeper signs. This generator can be found here: Minecraft MemeGenerator



I purchased the Minecraft picture ax and used the packaging to make another decorative sign. I created the Minecraft Steve heads using glue, paper and card board boxes.



The Steve heads were an instant hit with the children. Here's a photo I took of my boys and them before they went to school.



Although you can buy Steve heads online, it is much cheaper to make them yourself, particularly because I made four.



I discovered the Steve head template and directions here: SteveLange.net



As an afternoon snack, I made block brownies.



I created an Creeper Birthday Cake with green icing, chocolate bars, and chocolate chips.



It was a Creeper-filled Minecraft Birthday celebration.



I am linking this post up to Works-For-Me-Wednesday.



My son's excitement for his birthday party was a great motivator for me. I spent many hours looking on the internet for ideas. These links and ideas will be of great benefit to any Minecraft enthusiast at home.
