Construction Birthday Party

My son recently turned 3 and we decided to have a construction party because he goes crazy when he sees “big trucks” working on the side of the road! We invited a few friends and got to work planning after searching for ideas on pinterest.

I was able to find some great tool belts at the Dollar Store and thought they would look adorable with their names on them. They also needed to be stuffed with some construction items like a pencil, paper, paintbrush and a tool. Each kid also got a hat with their name on it that I found on amazon (these hats are incredibly tiny but they worked for most of the kids).

Next we thought of activities that would work. I got a store to give us 2 large boxes that the kids could paint with tempera paint. It didn’t cover like I thought it would, but they didn’t care at all! This was a huge hit! We also filled the water and sand tables with some sand and treasures for the kids to find. Lots of the kids loved this area as well. There was also a tarp with his Bruder trucks out for kids to play with. The favorite area was probably the hammer and screw table. We had floral foam and hammered nails and golf tees into it. They could also put screws in it. Some kids spent the majority of the time here!

We got all of the kids to pile into our Bobcat which was parked in back of the house and took a picture of them. It turned out really cute! We ended the party with cupcakes for everyone. I initially wanted to top them with construction vehicles, but we ended up using little candy nuts from our Handy Manny candy. It was such a fun party and a lot of work, but I know all of the kids really enjoyed it! The parents just loved the personalized tool belts even if most of the kids didn’t want to wear them at the party!! For a few days, my sons would tell everyone he saw about his party. I’m so glad that they had such a fun time!

What type of party do you think kids love the most?
