Life
My kids are big time football fans. In fact, my youngest son takes great pride in the fact that his birthday always falls on the week of Super Bowl Sunday. My boys love watching the game so much that they pass on big parties because they don't want the other kids distracting them from non-stop viewing. Yeah, it's pretty real in our house when it comes to football. But even when it's just the four of us, we still make it into a celebration. Which is why red and blue Patriots-themed kid party ideas have me thinking of all the ways I can make this Sunday extra special for my little guys (and the big one, too.)
Using the red and blue colors of the Patriots as a theme, you can really let your imagination run wild with ideas for food, decor, and craft projects. Whether it's just your family or a group of friends watching the big game together, you can add some team spirit to your Super Bowl festivities. These nine ideas will help to get the tiniest of fans psyched and ready for a night of football and can also keep little hands busy during the half time show.
