LEGO PARTY

So Josh turned 10 today and it's the first day of SPRING BREAK -- how lucky am I ?!?! We have 2 weeks off and I threw my son a lego party today. Here are the highlights.

First the night before birthdays in our house we sleep on a birthday pillowcase made by our beloved Aunt Andrea.

Decorate your child's door on their birthday for a fun surprise when they wake up.

Next the pinterest inspired streamer paper across the doorway - his sister busted through it on her birthday but he wanted to crawl through it and keep it entact.

Invites...a lego brick

lego party invites, make them look just like a lego block

Lego Cakes - my wonderful mom in law made these for us...:o)

The favor table -- I made lego heads from yellow to go boxes -- I just google imaged lego faces and drew them on my own. The kids loved them. They were filled with their favors.

Josh and nana with the cakes.

Table decorations

A pinterest inspired lego game - the kids LOVED this game..I just tweaked it a little bit.

Lego party favor boxes, just picked them up at Michael's and decorated them with a sharpie

Made this cute banner with my cricut machine.

Guess how many legos in the mason jar for a prize...notice the candy legos too -- they were perfect for this party.

I also made this banner with my cricut - rectangles with little circles on top with the glue dots for a 3D effect. I used twine instead of ribbon to make it more boyish.

I found these cute 10 tags and idea on the web searching around I will look up link and add it.

At the end of the game they have to measure to see who built the tallest tower...here they are comparing them.

I made this lego guy for a pin the head on the lego man but changed it up because I realized it was too young for this age. I still blindfolded them but gave them a nerf gun. They had to shoot the nerf gun closest to the lego guys head after being spun around 4 times. They really enjoyed this version of it.

Create a silverware holder by building a lego box. You can also roll up napkins and place them in there too.

My hubby made the silverware holder out of legos... :o)

I saved several boxes - mostly capri sun ones , covered them with bulletin board paper ( you could also use table cloth paper ) and added circles cut from my cricut. Then used them all over the house as decorations. I added different size boxes and colors to make it more fun.
