Well with the Lego party we needed a Lego cake of course. I think we cheated a little lot but BJ really loved it. I had made a whole bunch of Lego brick chocolates over a period of a couple of weeks prior. I could only do so much in one hit & with a few different colours had to do them in batches. Plus you will notice I didn't make the bricks the full Lego bright colour. I just can't bring myself to keep adding more food colouring! I can't do it! So for the icing on the rest of the cake, chocolate seemed like a great solution too. Phew... food colouring overload averted! I got the moulds for the bricks on ebay. Also the Lego minifigure man mould. I found them at at great price as they are over priced at most places.
We really do like our "Robber Lego". Here they are trying to steal the gold.
& of course the jack hammers are finding the bricks! lol
The kids were excited about taking the bricks to eat. I think they ate them more so than cake. I know kids never eat cake at parties! lol
The party bags. These were fun. When I do party bags I prefer not to put lollies in usually. But this time I had a bunch of Lego men & bricks in chocolate left that I didn't end up putting on the cake. So each bag had a couple in it.
Also I had stickers. I got some A4 sticker pages from an office supply shop. The Lego website has fabulous stickers available for printing up there. So the kids got a sheets worth of Firemen or Police stickers. That was a good job for Stuart to cut them out of an evening. He was chief cutter-outterer. lol
The little packet leaning against the yellow bag is a stationery pack. I picked these up months ago. The original packaging didn't fit in the bags so I repacked them to fit. The bags themselves were from Spotlight. I used a couple of bags out of the packs to make the dots. In comes "Chief Cutter-outterer". Some double sided foam tape to boost the height of the dots on the blocks. I printed out the little tags from the lego site to write the thank you message from BJ. I only ended up with 2 colours of bags as they were big packs & I didn't need that many bags! Would have loved some red & green ones too though.
The masks were also from the Lego site. They have some cool fun stuff there.
The Lego heads that I stuck on the straws were from here. They have other cool stuff available too but I didn't use any thing else from there.
Well I did enjoyed that fun. Party planning over for that one at least. The next one at least is easy for another year or 2. Party in a few weeks that will be pretty quiet for the to be 2 year old. He will like some attention & having a turn at what his big brother did already!
