He's going to be 3. Loves CARS, trucks, animals, dinosaurs....typical boy stuff. I want to do something at the house but want it to be something cute & creative....not the typical cup cake and play outside deal. The problem.....I am uber-UNcreative.

Anyone wanna help??

When is his birthday? If it's still warm outside why don't you get little kiddie pools and have a "Pool" party. We did that for my daughter and all the children loved it.

OMG....I've been looking at that site (pixie posted earlier) and I am in LOVE with the Construction parties! I think DS would love that....he goes around the house all the time with his "tootles" aka TOOLS because he "has to do his WORK!". I came across some awesome ideas....

-let the kids build a house from cardboard and then paint (DH can help with this)
-decorate tool boxes, fill with tools.....instant favors!
-aprons from Home Depot with names in puffy paint
-hard hats for everyone to wear
-upon arrival kids can "Detail a Truck" (coloring sheets) and then go to the "Construction Truck Playzone"...an area marked off with orange cones and yellow/black crep paper where they can play with dump trucks, blocks, etc.
-instead of cake...cut up brownies placed in the back of a dump truck

YAY!! Thanks guys!

[MommySusan1]

Wow! Did you do that or did you copy that??? I think that is very creative and I want to come!!! I won't even mind getting messy! Great job! Take lots of pictures.

Invites are great! I do not have kids but I have seen that party site before and thought it was great. Sounds like you are planning a great theme party.

I got the wording from the above listed web site. I changes some of it to suit us, but the springboard for me was there. Other than the wording, the rest of it I did all by myself.

You can get one of the small plastic wheelbarrows - they are usually really cheap and make dirt for dessert. It's chocolate pudding with crushed up oreos on top to look like dirt, then add gummi worms!

oohhh...I love the wheelbarrow idea! I thought about doing the dirt dessert in a plastic sand bucket, but I like the wheelbarrow idea too!

That's really cute. Great idea!

My target has some solid yellow party plates on clearance.. also cups napkins,etc.. dont forget the coupon on the generator..

Sorry dont remember the price.. but I remember thinking that was a good deal...

[megger]

soo cute!! I think you are creative! You just needed a little inspiration!

Invitation looks great. But I can't help but think that 2 hours isn't long enough. You always get one or two that come late and you are having t during lunch time so I am assuming that you will be serviing lunch. With three year olds won't that take a while. Just doesn't seem like enough time to play and open presents.
