Jojo had his 7th birthday party this weekend, and thanks to an awesome party opportunity from Mom Select, he had a super cool Hexbug party!

We actually called it a “Bugday Party” on the invitaiton. We are dorks.

Hexbugs are robotic insects, so in lieu of a birthday cake, I made super cute robot cupcakes, topped with Robot Cupcake Toppers by hello hanna.

The toppers come on a sheet like stickers, and are the consistency of a steam-rolled piece of gum. (I guess). They are gluten free and dairy free.

Just peel them off and plop them on top of your home made cupcakes (I’m awesome).

The party guests were excited that you could “eat the paper”. It is nothing like paper, actually, but they were first graders, so stop being all judgey.

 

Anyway, what else do you do at a ZOMBIE HEXBUG BUGDAY PARTY?

Well, you play with super cool Hexbug Nano Glow in the Dark Habitat Set!

It glows in the dark, upping the awesome!

The party guests happily closed themselves into the play room, turned out the lights, and squealed and giggled at the glow-in-the-dark Hexbug action! When it was time to go home, nobody wanted to leave!

And nobody lost an eye! All in all, an extremely successful party!

This set allows you to create a variety of customizable playgrounds and includes 10 easy to connect pieces and 2 extremely rare Hexbug Nano Glow-in-the-Dark Micro-Robotic Creatures.

Each party guest got to have their very own limited edition HexBug Nano Halloween Mutant Zombie!

Which led to enthusiastic participation in a game of Zombie Freeze Tag! Look at their little Zombie-like arms, bless ‘em!

 

 

Speaking of all things creepy, the Hexbug crawly that grosses me out the most is the uber undulating Hexbug Larva!

Ugh! I know in my mind that it is plastic, but it just writhes so convincingly I have to psyche myself up in order to touch it. The cats aren’t too sure about them, either.

And, I also got to high five Hexbugs at Time To Play Holiday Showcase in September, where they made me hip to their cute Zombie bugs and holiday ornaments!

Look at the lil’ dickens! So adorbs!

Jojo was playing with his Hexbug and some action figures at the same time. A happy coincidence happened when the Hexbug got stuck in the action figure’s feet, propelling him forward in a hilariously zombie-like fashion.

I LOVE Hexbugs so much! We were lucky enough to host a Hexbug Nano party LAST year, which made me aware of the awesomeness. I gave Hexbugs as gifts at EVERY SINGLE birthday party that my kids have been invited to in the last 12 months. That is a lot of Hexbug love we are spreading accross this great land.
