Lego Birthday Party Ideas

For many children, Legos offer years of fun with limitless options for using their creativity through imaginative play. So you can be sure of a win with a Lego birthday party, giving your child a celebration that incorporates a classic.

A fantastic thing about creating a Lego party is all the bold colors you can bring to really make a dynamite event. Using color card stock, a one inch hole punch and foam tape, you can make invitations that are unique and look just like the lego blocks. Use the hole punch on a foam tape to create a perfect circular shape. If you don’t have a hole punch you can cut a circle by using scissors. Stick about 2 circles in a column, and about 5 circles in a row depending on the size of your card stock for the invitation. Using different colors for each invitation ensures that each copy is one-of-a-kind.

Decorating your venue for a Lego party can be a blast, with almost limitless DIY options that can make your party stand-out.  You can compile your own DIY giant legos into whatever building you want by cutting holes in tissue boxes to allow 2 colored plastic cups to be inserted. Wrap them in a same colored paper as the cup. That makes one DIY giant lego block. Or you can wrap styrofoam blocks and create circles to glue on with more styrofoam.  You can make a banner by hanging ribbon, and clothespinning DIY legos up: these are made by using colored card stock and a circle cutter. Stick the circle shapes on the card stock using double sided foam tape so that the circles are slightly popped out.  You can even incorporate your child’s massive collection of legos by building little vases, buckets and other items to hold forks, centerpieces and more.

For edibles at a Lego Theme party colors that stand out like legos such as red, blue, green and a must yellow work fantastically. M&Ms in lego made bowls add a fun touch that most people enjoy. You can use sixlets, gummy bears, gummy worms, gobstoppers, all these have those bright colors that really shine. For healthier snack options, red apples, cucumbers, celery, carrots, strawberries, really any fruits that have a lego color can be incorporated nicely. You can create jello cups in different colors that are fun.  And of course, the birthday cake would look phenomenal shaped as a lego itself. For drinks, you can serve  cordials in a yellow paper cups with a LEGO smiley drawn on them.

Activities at a Lego birthday party can include a race to see who can build a pre-packaged item (race car, helicopter etc.) the fastest, bringing some fun competition in. Give the winner a great prize like a package of legos to take home.  You can play pin the head on the lego man, just create the picture from cardstock, very easy. You could also have a competition to see who can guess how many legos are in a jar, and of course, give a prize to the closest guess!

For take home gifts you can be a sure favorite by sending home little lego packs, you can also make lego sugar cookies, or even just put candies in a lego shaped box.  All of these options create a great way for your guests to remember the fun they had at your Lego party!

Everyone loves ice cream and an Ice Cream themed birthday party is one way to create a sensationally sweet event! With the right decorations and an abundance of treats to please, this birthday party can be a real blast.

You can create exciting party invitations with fun fonts like comic sans ms, that have ice cream cone artwork or ice cream sundaes, any of them will bring your invitees that thrill you get when you know something sweet is coming up.

After you choose what ice cream flavors you want at the birthday party, you can choose those for your color palette as well, making a rainbow of options to fill your home.  You can make your own ice cream cones to hang from the ceiling with scrapbooking paper for the cone and tissue or tulle for the ice cream, really personalizing your event.

A photo booth idea that will give guests a lasting imprint. You can make an ice cream archway with balloons and cardboard for everyone to pose at. Using crepe paper, you can create borders throughout the venue area, which gives a soft effect that is associated with ice cream. Lining your tables with white cloths will allow for an ideal base that the decorations can really stand out from.Untitled

In addition to as many ice cream flavors you can possibly want, you should definitely have lots of sweets at an Ice Cream party, and some healthy options as well. Cupcakes are always a wonderful treat, you can even make them into cones by placing some M&Ms in a cone and putting the cupcake on top, and then topping with a cherry of course! Gummy bears and other small candies in jars make a sweet option for treats as well.  You can always create fun fruit shapes too, and have little finger sandwiches to fill the guests up.

For activities you can have everyone make ice cream in a bag, giving them a little science fun that tastes delicious. You could also have an ice cream making bar that let’s everyone build their own work of art. You can prepare sweet toppings such as mini M&Ms, rainbow sprinkles, chocolate chips, crushed oreo biscuits, flakes, and few topping sauces including popular chocolate, strawberry and hot fudge. Healthier toppings can include chopped up strawberries, kiwis and blueberries. Another fun idea is to break out the play dough and let everyone make their own crazy concoctions. An ice cream cone pinata is another fun activity that guests will enjoy.

For a unique take home surprise, filling plastic waffle cones with confetti and little gifts like pencils, erasers, or candies makes a neat option. You could also make cotton candy and put it in cones, wrapped in saran wrap of course. That favor allows you to use your crafty side for ribbons and personalized labels that visitors will love. Another fantastic idea would be to put a recipe for ice cream together with a spoon and put them in a box, so guests can make their own at home.

Let your creative side come out with the activities at A Very Hungry Caterpillar party with crafty ideas that guests can actually take home with them.  You can use little soft fabric balls in caterpillar colors to create the classic character laying out glue, little decorative touches like googly eyes, and paper to stick it to, allowing the visitors to make their own version of adorable fun. Another game to play that is fun for everyone would be to “Feed the Hungry Caterpillar.”  Decorate a piece of plywood with the caterpillar’s face and cut out its mouth, then you can have a bean bag toss to feed him!

Little favors for your guests that go with the theme can include lollipops, which were in the story. If you love baking, then you can bake a Caterpillar shaped cookies using the cutter. You can also print out coloring sheets and put together little sets of crayons for the guests to take home.

A Racing Car themed birthday party makes a great idea for your sport loving child who just can’t get enough of the speed action.  There are many options available for creating a detailed and unique look for your event, but this is one that you can definitely go bold with your ideas  and come out with a winner!

Invitations

When coming up with your invitations, using a font that yells (large thick lettering) will have guests excited to come celebrate.  You can take advantage of the bright reds, yellows and blues when choosing your artwork for them.  Making invites with racing cars or trophies introduces the theme easily.

To decorate your party area, you can go crazy with the checkered flag pattern, using black and white to set up your tables so all of the vibrant colors you place on them will stand out brilliantly.  Take advantage of your child’s collection of cars to add personal touches that you already have to create a spectacular scene.  Using a large, bold banner with personalized lettering behind your buffet table will give a full look. You could even hang a flag banner in front of the table to really give an excited effect.

Food Ideas

When it comes to creating fun dishes that all party goers are sure to enjoy, it’s really about the names you give to the treats. A fantastic one would be to put some dip into little dixie cups, with celery and carrot sticks sticking out with a personalized label naming them, “Dip Sticks”.  Another unique idea is to create construction cones from sugar or waffle cones that are sprayed with edible food spray.  With those you can fill the cone up with some yummy filling like cake-pop mix, and then set it upside down on a graham cracker, making it look like a traffic cone. With each dish that you make, don’t be shy on using bold and fun colors to make them stand out, even putting little race flags in some of them, like cupcakes, helps to emphasize the theme. A popular treat for this theme are also the dark chocolate covered donuts, they certainly can make the plate exciting with a fun label ‘Spare Tires’.

Party Games

To keep the guests happy, every race car party should have an exciting activity that is memorable and fun.  One neat way to entertain and provide a gift at the same time would be to put little cars (like Hot Wheels) into balloons (one per balloon) and blow them up.  Each participant can take a turn popping the balloon however they want and the end result is a surprise gift inside!

Party Favors

For a sweet take home give, creating personalized trophy to everyone who came could be fun and easy to create. You could also give tins with race labels that have mini-cookies, or candies of your choice inside. There is always the option of giving stickers as well, making it cost friendly to share your appreciation for everyone who attends.
