Adam has a total train fixation, so of course his 3rd birthday party had to be all about trains! We rented a pavilion at a local park, thinking that the weather would be perfect. Wrong! We had a crazy heat wave come through and temperatures were over 100 degrees. We were all melting, and so was some of the food! But it was a great party, nonetheless.
Food:
For food, I kept it simple. We had pizza, jello cubes, chocolate dipped marshmallows, pasta salad, chips, and fruit.
Decorations:
We decided not to go all out on the decorations since we would be outside. The colors were red, blue, and yellow, which I carried out through the birthday banner, balloons, and cupcake toppers.
Activities:
I had several easy activities for the kids. Instead of cake, I found this cute pan from Williams-Sonoma. I baked a bunch of little train cars and set out icing, candies, and sprinkles so that the kids could decorate their own mini cake. For a craft, I found this cute train puzzle from Oriental Trading. Each child decorated a train car and put their name on it. These are now displayed in Adam's bedroom, and it's a great way for him to remember his friends (since we moved shortly after the party). I also had several train stamps and blank paper so that the kids could make a picture to take home. And we had pinata too, always a favorite!
All in all, the party was a success (despite the heat)! Adam and his friends all had a great time :).
