Boy’s Construction Site Birthday Party Theme Ideas

Back in early September we hosted my son’s 3rd birthday party in a construction site party theme. We made all of the food and made all of the decorations for his party. I’ve been sharing all of our party ideas here on the blog for the past 6 weeks and I’m back today to share 2 more!

If you’re looking for the Kid’s Plastic Yellow Construction Hats you can get them from Amazon for a really great price! You get 12 of them per package! We left each child decorate their own party hat with markers and stickers as a party craft activity. They then wore them around at the party and took them home. You can read all about our Construction Hat Kid’s Birthday Party Idea by visiting our previous post about it.

Construction Site Birthday Party Bags

At The Home Depot store I found these adorable child-size canvas tool aprons and purchased them. Instead of having birthday party loot bags, I opted to put all of the kid’s party favors inside the pockets of the canvas tool aprons. The pockets are generous in size, so you can get a lot into them. After the party the kids can use them as arts & crafts aprons, etc. A nice party favor for the kids to take home and something not thrown away after the party.

If you don’t want to run out to The Home Depot you can find something really similar to use over on Amazon. I think the solid white 2-pocket canvas aprons from Amazon would be good choices to use too.

We displayed them on the party table and stuffed them with candy, fruit snacks, pencils, mini tablets, mini activity books, mini rulers, etc. If you don’t want to stuff them with candy, you can go to your local “Dollar Type of Store” and look for plastic tools, mini cars, etc. The kids and parents loved them!!!

Birthday Party Construction Site Treat Bins

At The Home Depot store I found white-colored plastic parts trays. I believe that is what they were called. I picked up 3 of them along with a bottle of bright yellow spray paint. Once we got home I sprayed them with the paint and left them dry. The paint is not food-safe, so you’ll need to line your trays with paper towels, plastic wrap, waxed paper, aluminum foil, etc. before placing food into them.

I wish I had checked out Amazon before purchasing them at The Home Depot because Amazon has the Yellow Plastic Parts Storage Bins in a bright yellow color, so you can completely avoid painting them and all of that jazz. Well, now I know for the next time around!

We made labels from black and yellow construction paper to label the front of each treat bin. We wanted our party treats to resemble construction site items, so here is what we came up with and some additional ideas.

Nails: Pretzel Sticks
Rope: Red Licorice
2×4’s: Vanilla Wafer Sticks
Tires: Chocolate Creme Filled Cookies
Cement Blocks: Mini Square Rice Krispies Treats
Washers: Colored Life Saver Candies

Next week I’ll do a complete round-up and link-up on all of my Boy’s Construction Site Party Theme Ideas that I’ve posted the past few weeks, so that you can find them all from one blog post (page). This was a really fun birthday party theme to work with and was a big HIT with all of our guests!
