A 5th Birthday Moshi mash up

I'm excited to share these pictures of my Sons 5th Birthday moshi monsters party. He had a bowling party with his friends but insisted on having a tea party with his Grandma and Grandad. I was so excited when he said the theme had to be Moshi monsters as I knew I could really go to town with the decorations. For anyone who doesn't know, Moshi monsters is an online educational game where children adopt a monster and continue to care for it by earning rox to buy it food and playing games to keep it happy. The main food shop is called the Gross-ery store and sells such delectable things as eyescream sundaes, sludge fudge, and scummi bears! This is where I thought we could have some real fun by making all the food moshi food.

I set to work researching the moshi site looking at the colours used and the food in the shops. This took a little longer than anticipated mainly due to the moshling boshling game which is addictive to say the least. One of the things I like so much about Moshi monsters is the sense of humour, it's very British, and the bright colours they use . I did realise though that I had to make the food edible, hey nobody wants to eat slop!! so we had to come up with a few moshi names of our own such as Sneeze instead of cheese, but in most cases the moshis had already done the work for us.

Jack loved helping me make Lady Goo Goos p-p-pizza faces and Roarberry cheesecake, and wanted to know what bugs were in the bug juice!! I even changed the beer to snail ale so that the adults didn't feel too left out.

The baddie in moshi monsters is called Dr Strangeglove, and Jack thinks he's hilarious so I knew I had to incorporate this somewhere. So I drew a design for the cake with Strangeglove on the top. Jack actually fell over when he saw it so I guess it had the desired effect!

Jack really enjoyed his party and couldn't stop munching on the pop rox! Which were actually Rainbow drops..remember them? I used to buy these with my pocket money.
