I had so much fun planning this party. My son invited the boys from his first grade class. I made the invitations by cooking the paper in the broiler, tearing the edges and using ink to make them look old(burning the edges was very messy). Eleven kids showed up.   I designed the party around the Indiana Jones movies. His cake was very simple.  I made cupcakes with white frosting and put some gold powder on the top of each of the cupcake and added tons of chocolate gold coins. It looked like a pile of treasure. I took the head from a coconut monkey and placed it next to the cake. I used all gold utensils and plate.  The first room they walked into was decorated as if it was Dr. Jones office.  I covered the table with burlap and a large map of the world.  There was a skeleton head with jewels in his eyes, a lantern, some scattered papers, gold coins, ect.  Outside I painted property of Indiana Jones" on some old crates.  I bought some toy whips.  We had rope hanging a flashlight compass and a passport (I made). We started our treasure hunt in Egypt were we did a mummy wrap.  The kids were separated into 3 groups.  Each group wrapped up one kid with toilet paper. The clue fell out of the roll when they got to the end. That clue brought them to the forbidden forest.  It was in the hallway.  I hung green streamers from the ceiling to look like the leaves of the trees. The clue was at the end written really tiny so they had to use a magnifying glass.  That brought them to the spider cave. They had to climb (using their flashlights) through a tube into our bathroom where they had to move spider webs out of the way to read the next clue.  Next they went to the crocodile crossing which was just stepping stones.  The next place was a dino dig where they needed to find the key to open the treasure box later in the hunt.  They also collected bugs and plastic dinosaurs.  The next place was the snake pit. They had to stick their hands in a box of gummy worms and pull out a puzzle piece.  They worked together to finish the puzzle.  It told them where the treasure was hidden in hieroglyphics.  Once they decoded the message they all ran to where the treasure was.  The kid that found the key got to open the box. The treasure consisted of gold coin jewel necklaces candy ect. They all had so much fun. It was a huge hit with these 7 year old boys. "
