This party board was initially created for Victoria who wanted a tractor & construction theme for her son's 1st birthday. Of course, in creating the board we realized the theme might be better suited for an older boy... there are just so many great activities that revolve around digging in the dirt!
Theme: Under Construction
Party Ideas
Colors: orange, yellow & brown
Setting: afternoon lunch party outdoors
Decorations: turn the area into a mini construction site using work signs, orange cones, caution tape and plastic hard hats. add bunches of balloons to the food tables and play areas. for centerpieces, use groupings of plastic dump trucks, tractors and steam rollers- add munchies like popcorn, pretzels & trail mix to load areas of the trucks for snacking.
Food: lunches served out of tin lunch boxes or labeled paper bags. Offer lemonade with orange slices to drink and call it ‘dynamite lemonade’. Create a dumptruck cake or cupcakes with themed toppers for dessert.
Favors: send each child home with labeled glassine bag including a small plastic toy truck and reeses pieces candy ‘dirt’.
Activities: consider a sandbox area ‘work zone’ for digging with plastic shovels & a table of legos or wooden building blocks.
