I’ll tell you, I wasn’t excited about this party to start. I didn’t think I could make a construction theme party cute. I asked for monkeys or elephants or airplanes or- basically anything else. But my son would not be deterred, so we made it happen. And thanks to @butfirstparty, I found some cute inspiration. So let’s dive right in!

Here’s the invite. We ended up hosting the room in our condo’s function room– which we will not do it again. You heard it here first. Here’s the invite. 

We decided we would do a lot of activity stations, which was great for all of the little kids. We filled a water table with salt and put smaller construction vehicles in it.

We covered a soft kids pool (with fabric from Rush’s 2nd party!), filled it with rice and put some larger diggers in it. You can also see the road tape we put on the floor, which turned out really cute.

We used an IKEA table, filled with small pasta and lentils and some small  vehicles for pushing and digging. This is now in his room, even though it’s kinda a pain to keep clean.

My husband built a digger out of cardboard to act as a photo op, and we also had an IKEA rug on the floor for them to push the trucks around.

We also did a cone toss and a rider digger outside.

The backdrop, made from the inspiration of @butfirstparty turned out pretty cute, although the fringe on top didn’t.  Apparently I needed more than the 1,000 feet of caution tape I used! We ended up re-using the backdrop for this room.

We had some fun with the food and tried not to make it the same old, same old.

My husband made the cake- and he may have topped himself!

I made the orange cups into cones on the drinks table,  and added a coloring table nearby (for the older kids).

We got a balloon guy to create balloon diggers, bulldozers, cranes, etc. My daughter wouldn’t comply with theme, but she’s cute so we forgave her.

My husband, who was the rockstar of the this party, also dressed as Rush’s favorite youtube star, Blippi.

Overall it was a really fun party, and we re-used a lot of the items to re-do Rush’s room into a big boy room. He’s a big 3!
