For my son's 3rd birthday we had a Construction theme since he is in love with all things construction.  We started with a invite with our son's picture with him in a hard hat and tool belt on bright orange paper with "CONSTRUCTION ZONE" written on the top.  It said, "Workman Isaac is turning three, so we are having a construction party.  The party's at his construction site so March 9th will be dynamite."  It ended with "Rumble on over and join Isaac as we celebrate his 3rd birthday with a bulldozer of a party. RSVP to the head foreman." Guests were greeted at the door with real construction zone signs loaned to us by the city and ladders and tool boxes draped with "Construction Zone" tape. The theme continued with real street cones, more signs and construction tape.  We had a great cake with his new construction equipment at work.  Lowe's donated kid-size aprons and I put each child's name "Workingman . . ." in the name pouch. The kids loved receiving a "gift" right when they walked in and it was very handy when the kids went to "work." It was a cold rainy March day so we filled up our wheel barrow with sand and hid prizes and bags of candy. Armed with shovels and small construction vehicles they loved digging under the "CAUTION Construction Zone Digging in Progress" sign.  The wheelbarrow was perfect for accommodating several kids and no one had to bend over.  It was all kept clean and within the theme using a tarp underneath.    All the serving table was in the theme. A clean new paint can "spilled" the veggies onto the table and the truck sandwiches (cookie cutter) were served in a new paint tray. Tools and paint supplies were scattered on the table and smaller pint size paint cans held the forks and spoons.  The whole house was done in construction orange and black.  Lastly, the kids went home with kid-sized hammers, note pads and carpenter pencils and their beloved aprons.  It was a great party!!
