LEGO BIRTHDAY PARTY

Last year I was asked two hours before we were due to go to a party for ideas
of what to do with four 9 year olds, for a birthday on December the 28th.
So an indoors activity was the only option.
Lego-Blocks
I remembered that they had a huge box of lego, so suggested they build cars and race them down a ramp/track (which was a plank of wood on a slope)
It kept them happy for the whole three hours
(until the cars fall apart that is, then we had grumpy men in training, LOL)

So it got me thinking about pulling a lego party together.

And here it is ............


INVITATIONS


I love this idea from here

BANNER / BUNTING

or

made from Lego minfigures / heads clip art


DECORATIONS
Build the childs name in Lego



Made from card and raised dots made by using faon sticky pads.



ACTIVITIES

Race car building and racing is fab.



All that's needed (besides the lego) is a long plank of wood,
paint it, and put lines down the middle
 (plastic tape from a DIY store works great)

You know how competitive kids get,
so make a start and finish line to prevent cheating. Hopefully LOL

You could even give each child a bad driving certificate free from here


TABLE SETTING

CUPCAKES

You could also use an ice cube maker/tray, and mould coloured icing to put ontop of cupcakes.
