~a little boy’s party ideas~

 

Our first grandson is TWO YEARS OLD! 

So, of course, we had to make his second birthday an extra special day.

His mom and dad gave him a construction birthday party with lots of

Trucks, Construction, and DEMOLITION too!

So I made him this card to go along with the theme.

(front of card is above and inside below)

His mom asked me to help with his party.  Of course, I was more than happy to assist!

Above is his party invite with a construction, uh, demolition theme. 

For Jack’s party favors,

we bagged little toys with a construction theme in orange netting.

We thought the orange netting resembled the orange border

usually draped around construction areas for security.

I made these little tags to attach to the party favors.

I was lucky enough to find some fabric at JoAnn’s with “construction” things on it,

and then appliquéd the 2 motif on a tee shirt, cutting the truck out of the short’s fabric.

 Jack’s friends were welcomed with construction signs and orange cones galore!

Each child received a hard hat when they arrived.

My daughter set up fun play zones around the yard.

This was the demolition zone. 

We wrapped empty boxes of different sizes with red wrapping paper and then marked them to resemble bricks.  My daughter wrapped a beach ball with black fabric and tied it from a tree for the demolition ball.  The children loved swinging the ball and knocking down the blocks.

My daughter filled balloons with water. 

You can see the children loved throwing the “dynamite” in the wading pool!

What’s for dessert?  Cupcakes…

  and Dirt Cake, of course!

I think he liked it!

Even little brother had a good time. 

And, yes, I had to make him an outfit too!

Linking my party ideas to others great little boy ideas at

“What are little Boys Made of”

and

“Show off your Stuff”.

(P.S.  I love to create party invites and favors for parties of all ages. 

If you don’t want to do your own, email me and we can discuss creating

a custom party for you or your child.)
