MY SON'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS SO MUCH FUN. WE ARE IN THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS SO IT WORKED OUT GREAT TO HAVE IT IN OUR SHOP, BUT A GARAGE WOULD BE GREAT, TOO!  I LIKE AT LEAST SOME COVERED AND WALLED AREA FOR HEAVY DECORATIONS.  OUTSIDE OF OUR SHOP I USED A OVERHEAD PROJECTOR TO ENLARGE THE LETTERS TO HAPPY BIRTHDAY (CHILD'S NAME) AND USED A STAPLE GUN TO ATTACH TO WOODEN POSTS(LIKE A FOR SALE SIGN WOULD BE ON).OF COURSE I USED STREAMERS AND BALLOONS.  THE DOOR WAS DECORATED WITH A POSTER OF BOB THE BUILDER (AGAIN I USED THE PROJECTOR AND ENLARGED A COLORING SHEET AND COLORED HIM).I ALSO HUNG PLASTIC TOOLS SO YOU HAD TO DUCK UNDER THEM TO ENTER THE DOOR.  AGAIN USED PROJECTOR AND MADE LIFE-SIZE BOB AND CUT HIM OUT OF CARDBOARD AND PAINTED.  BLACK AND YELLOW STREAMERS WERE HUNG FROM CEILING ALONG WITH MORE PLASTIC TOOLS HANGING FROM CEILING.  I MADE MORE BOB POSTERS AND FOUND CONSTRUCTION THEMED POSTERS FROM THE LOCAL TEACHER SUPPLY STORE.  I BOUGHT PARTY GOODS FROM BIRTHDAY EXPRESS. I USED BLACK TABLECLOTHS AND AROUND TABLE BOTTOMS I USED THE ORANGE SAFETY STUFF THAT THEY USE TO BLOCK OFF CONSTRUCTION SITES. I ALSO MADE A PLAY AREA USING THESE AND IT WAS SO CUTE!! I PUT A TOOL BENCH AND VARIOUS TOYS TO PLAY WITH IN THERE AND THE KIDS LOVED IT. PLAY STATIONS INCLUDED VARIOUS TOOL AREAS, BOB PLAY-DO AREA,  CONSTRUCTION COLORING AREA, AND BOB PLAYING ON TV. AFTER  FOOD, WE BROUGHT MY SON IN ON THE LOADER AND DUMPED DIRT RIGHT BY OUR SHOP ROLL-UP DOOR FOR KIDS TO PLAY IN. THEY LOVED IT. FOOD WAS FUN. SANDWICHES CUT FROM SAW COOKIE CUTTERS, BUGLES(SAFETY CONES),CHOCOLATE DONUTS(TRUCK TIRES),CHOC. & VAN. PUDDING CUPS(DIRT AND SAND PILES).
