One more peek at an old-style homemade, at-home party. This is one of Elijah’s as well: a construction party.
We mailed simple paper invitations that looked like construction signs.
Decorations included black and yellow balloons, caution tape on all the walls, and a large tractor toy as the table centerpiece. Each child was given a construction hat to wear with a label that said ‘Elijah’s Construction Company’.
Since the kids were young, only a few activities were needed. The guests smashed a tractor pinata {swinging from a ladder to add to the construction theme} …
… and made ice cream in a can {that they later ate with cake}.
The cake was a dirt cake served from the back of a dump truck with construction cone candles.
Super simple, super easy, but super fun.
What do you like or dislike most about at-home parties?
