CONSTRUCTION THEME DECORATIONS
To really set the tone for a construction birthday party, you ll want to turn your party room into a construction site.
Instead of using crepe paper streamers, use rolls of black and yellow caution tape. If you want to mix it up a bit, you can use black and yellow streamers periodically, along with the caution tape.
Hang large clusters of black and yellow balloons, with curling ribbons cascading off of them, from the ceiling.
To decorate the party table area, attach two or three small black and yellow balloons to the backs of the chairs.
Make construction signs out of yellow poster board and hang them on the walls. They could say things like, CAUTION , Construction Zone Ahead , Children at Work , Yield For Construction Birthday Party Fun , Work Zone , etc.
Decorate the party room with construction site paraphernalia like plastic tools, large paint brushes, buckets, large boxes, drop cloths, etc.
Alert your guests of the party location by lining your walkway with orange cones. Take some of those construction signs that you made earlier and attach them to yardstakes and insert the stakes throughout your front yard.
Cover the front door with yellow butcher paper and write in bold, black letters, CAUTION! Loads of Birthday Fun Up Ahead!
CONSTRUCTION BIRTHDAY PARTY ACTIVITIES
Create various construction zones by roping off sections using caution tape. Hang construction signs to identify activity occurring at each zone. For example:
Build It Protect tables with newspaper. Provide ice cream sticks, glue, washable paints, and various decorations like silk flowers, glitter, sequins, beans, buttons, etc. Let kids construct whatever they wish.
High Rise Success Provide Legos, blocks, erector sets, tinker toys and let your little workers build to their hearts content.
Structure Building Gather several large appliance and cardboard boxes, have workers duct tape them together to create a structure, and then let them paint it.
CONSTRUCTION BIRTHDAY PARTY FOOD
Purchase large, plastic dump trucks to use as your serving dishes. When party is over, clean them out and give to your guests as party favors.
Serve munchies like chips, pretzels, nuts, Chex mix, etc. in new paint cans. Use quart size for nuts and large cans for chips.
CONSTRUCTION BIRTHDAY PARTY CAKE
Transfer a sheet cake to a new paint tray and serve with a large scraper that has a 3 to 4 wide blade. Serve in new disposable mini paint trays.
CONSTRUCTION BIRTHDAY PARTY FAVORS
Plastic hard hats filled with anything construction related like small trucks, plastic tools, stickers, Legos, blocks, tool belt, modeling clay, Play Doh, etc.
