Construction Party Theme



After the success of the super hero party, I knew I needed to give Colton a dynamite 2 year old party. It was an easy decision to do a construction party.  This 2 year old loves his trucks, and would love anything truck related. 

Decorations were cheap.  I used a lot of toys we already had. 


I used caution and danger tape as streamers. Construction signs from Home Depot.


I also took colored pictures of trucks and printed out black and white photos of Colton. I made hi driving the truck.


I continued the tradidition of a shelf "These are a few of my favorite things."




Next up was the games.  I needed games that would keep 4 year olds and a 2 year old happy.  

Game 1: Wrecking Ball

Supplies: ball, duck tape, string, blocks.

Procedure: secure string/rope to ball with duck tape.  Let the destruction begin. (We hung from the stair railing, but if weather was nice would have used a tree branch)


Game 2: Fill the Dump

Supplies: large dump truck toy, bean bags.

Procedure: throw the bean bags in the dump truck.


Game 3: ring toss on cones

Supplies: construction cones, rings (I used pipe cleaners)


Game 4:  house painting

Supplies: lots of cardboard, duck tape, paint, brushes, rollers.  (The dollar tree has rollers for $1 and a 3 pack of brushes for $1)

Procedure: Prior to the party I created a cardboard house.  It was complete with cut out windows and a door.  Give the kids paint, rollers, and brushes and watch their excitement.  

Game 5: rock box

Supplies: box, rocks, and trucks

Procedure:  dump rocks in box.  Kids will figure out what to do.  This was popular with the two year old.  The older kids lost interest with this quickly. 



Last, but not least was the cake.  Again, we used trucks we already had.
