Does your boy love diggers, excavators, bulldozers and all things construction? This party is actually for my 4-year-old boy who love his digger. Most of his friends are about 3-4 years old so we decided to have some simple activities including bouncy castles and balloon sculpting. But for this blog, we will focus on the construction related decorations, activities and goodie bags.
For decoration, our main focus will be a sugar free dessert table and a life-size digger as a decor piece!
Construction Invitation Card
We had a concept of constructing a 3D card with few layers, with fake metal piece and a signboard, which is commonly seen at construction site.
In the end, we decided on a 3D-looking card instead to keep the cost economical.
Construction Themed Dessert Table
This is super tricky because we have to come up with a dessert table which is totally sugar-free! What an oxy-moron! Can a dessert table even be called a dessert table if it is sugar free? We have a lot of the parents telling us to lower the sugar levels in their sweets and we do understand their concerns.
Your food can be nutritious and delicious at the same time. It just need a little creativity!
Children can dig into our sugar-free dessert table without worrying about tooth delay:
- Carrot Traffic Cones
- Mineral Water
- Sugar-free drinks
- ‘Recycled Wood’ Chips
- Seaweed ‘wires’
- Breadstick ‘Pipes’
- ‘Cement’ Cupcakes (using iLite Sugar)
- Sugar-free Cake using iLite Sugar
- Cheese
- Sugar-free chocolate mudcake
- Salted Popcorn
Activities
We have various stations which children can complete construction themed games, like hitting the nails with hammers, smashing ball and other construction related game.
We had an excursion to the real excavator too!
Two years have passed since this construction party. It is amazing that my birthday boy still talks about it every now and then. I think I have achieved the objective of a memorable party.
Goodie Bag
Everyone got to bring home a themed bag which the birthday boy and sister helped to decorate on their own.
