Superhero playroom

How’d you like to hang out in a playroom like this every day? Wouldn’t you just feel so empowered to take on whatever challenges the day brings?

Superhero SAHM Lori transformed an extra bedroom into an extra-awesome superhero-themed playroom for her boys, taking lots of ideas from the Internet – which she kindly linked in her blog post.

How do I love this room? Let me count the ways…

  • I love the “Time to Save the World” canvas that hangs beneath the clock.
  • I love how she reused decor from a Superhero Birthday Party to decorate the room – particularly that comic book page pennant banner.
  • I love the chalkboard painted frame that says, “Be your own hero!”
  • I love the Sharpie-drawn city skyline lampshade.
  • I love the superhero capes hanging at the ready on the wall.

SuperheroCape Tutorial

So, my son’s 4th birthday is coming up in April, and it has been decreed that it shall be a knight birthday party complete with capes for all his friends. The last time I worked up a vague guest list, my kid has 26 friends, which means 26 capes, which probably means I better get busy.    In my quest for cape patterns, I came across this great superhero cape tutorial that I thought I’d share.  It’s done by Puking Pastilles.  It’s super cute, and seems relatively easy.
