Space Invader birthday ideas {searching the web}

I've been searching the web for 'Space Invader' themed items for my sons small birthday gathering I'm planning for his 6th birthday.  I am trying not to go overboard as this is going to be just for family and close friends. (He's decided that he'd like to go to Knott's Berry Farm as his 'big deal')  A few months ago in the dollar section at Target we found these drink markers that became our inspiration...

You can find them here now

My son and I both liked the fun colors they came in, they are more neon in person, and I knew they would make for a fun theme.  

So, as I've been gathering ideas all over I came across a really fun clothing shop on Etsy.  Hatch For Kids makes cultured inspired shirts for kids and I happened upon them when I did a search for "space invaders shirt for kids" on Etsy.  I think it would be fitting for my son to wear a cool shirt on his special day.

I love what Hatch for Kids stands for: 

Support the arts. Foster creativity and self-expression. Create something beautiful. We are Hatch For Kids.

I am a mom who is constantly wanting my kids to use their imagination, create often and to color outside of the lines.  I love that Hatch For Kids has a similar reason for being.
