Building. Life is all about it, and one of the best toy companies out there that helps kids use their imagination and fun tools to build is Lego! They have been around since 1932 and is the sixth largest manufacturer of kids’ toys. Impressive! All of us have played with Legos at some point, or at least watched other kids play with them. Legos are a really great theme for a kids’ party. The official Lego site has a parents page which can give you inspiration for activities to do with your kids at parties and beyond with their Let’s Play and Imagination Builders sections. Great resources to check out! Now, for some other ideas on holding a Lego-themed party, have a read below: * Hand-Deliver your invitations and attach a few “real” Lego bricks to the envelope to inspire enthusiasm for the party! * Another invitation idea, stack a bunch of DUPLOS and on the side attach a label on the side with all of the party details, again this will need to be hand-delivered. * Decorate with bold, bright primary colors for balloons, streamers, and table ware. * Purchase Lego brick candy and have that all over the table as confetti. Have a contest at the table where the kids build towers with their candy confetti. * For your table’s centerpiece, have the birthday kid make a large Lego creation. Tie balloons to the masterpiece for added festivity. * Print out a series of facts on Legos and laminate them for placemats ~ this will keep the kids busy while at the table. * Place “Lego Factory” and “Lego Lunch Break” signs up throughout the party area, * When the kids arrive, have big buckets of Legos on a table for the kids to immediately begin building as you wait for all of the guests to arrive. * Give out awards for the kids; creations after everyone has built something, i.e. tallest tower, most colorful, etc.) * Have a Lego Drop. Use buckets or cut out holes in milk cartons, have the kids place a Lego under their chin and try and drop it into the container. To make this progressively more difficult, have the kids stand on a stool and then on a chair to try and drop it in properly. Make sure the kids are well supervised. * Lego Ring Toss. Make a large tower out of Duplos. Cut out the rim of a paper plate and paint or color them bright colors. Have the kids try and toss their ring around the tower. * Enjoy a Lego Race. Have multiple stacks of Legos on one side of the party room, one stack for each guest, and have the kids race to their stack, pick up their pile, and return to their starting position. Have the kids build a ego statue in a shape that has already been made by the birthday kid. First one done wins! * Lego Spoon Race. Divide the kids into two teams and have them take one spoon. They must race to the opposite side where a bucket of Legos are, spoon out as many as they can fit on their spoon, and bring them back where they are dropped into a bowl. After all of the kids on the teams have completed the race, they must build a tall tower. The team with the biggest tower wins the race. * Purchase a few “Build A Car” Lego packs and divide the group into small teams, 2-3 to a team. Have them build their cars and then have a race down ramps to see which car will go the fastest. Allow the kids to tinker with their cars to re-run the race and see if there are any differences. * Play “Pin the Dots on the Lego Brick.” * Play “Hot Lego!” * Have the kids guess how many Legos in a jar. * Set up a Lego Scavenger Hunt, hide Legos all over the party area and make it a god amount. The kid who finds the most wins!! Hand out little paper cups to place their loot in. * For the menu, make Lego Sausages, using regular sausages and dotting ketchup on top to make them look like Lego bricks, make mini-pizzas and decorate them to look like Legos with pepperoni and peppers and olives, Jell-O Jigglers in the shape of bricks, Rice Krispie treats with candies atop, * FamilyFun.com has a wonderful Lego Cake! * For goodies, send home the Lego Candy as well as mini Lego building sets to continue their fun long after the party. Other ideas include: brick separators,
