My son loves playing with Lego bricks and we decided it was a very kid friendly theme for his 6th bday. On Lego.com we found invitations that you could print out on card stock under the City Lego's download page. We have a lego store near us and I checked into their parties but the bday child and all the guests must be at least 6. As we had siblings coming, it had to be at home. I did take everything the store would give me & scanned their bday party brochure for the photo of a lego guy holding balloons to make our own card that we printed on blank cardstock. My son & I made a number 6 out of piles of legos on a white tablecloth that I photographed to use to. We wrote Ethan will be" above it & "Come build a mega fun time" under. Inside was a photo of a lego figure with a clock. It read "sorting begins at 11:30 at Legoland then our address Bring your appetite and creativity for some brick building fun." There were 10 kids coming and it rained. For decorations we split open big lego bags that were yellow with a red brick. They covered the regular framed art in the dining room. We had primary color balloons around and built some models that were placed around. I strung Lego figures from the light in the dining room that hung down around the table. Off the website we printed pictures of lego items and the new Indiana Jones and Starwars figures cut them out and hung them around the rooms. When the kids came we had all of our legos spread out on a bedsheet on the living room floor. The kids were given a card with a word on it they had to build like: building robot airplane boat or car. They guessed what each other built. Next we had two chairs back to back and about 2 feet apart with a decorated milk jug coffee can and bucket between. The kids had to select a lego piece kneel on the chair and drop the lego over the back of the chair into the point labeled jug can or bucket. They LOVED that. After a few rounds we headed upstairs to color some coloring pages I got off the site and then had a lunch of cold cuts pizza that was cut in rectangles with two pieces of pepperoni nuggets and drinks. I bought two boxes of Mr. Magoriums' Magic Emporium's Lego creator set #66208 sets from ebay which was cheaper then buying creator kits for the kids. They each picked a set from a bag and we built them with ALOT of help from me and the other two adults right at the table. They wanted to play with their item but I didn't want to loose them so we put them away in the small lego store bags that I got from the local lego store. I had labeled each yellow bag with the kids' names above the red lego brick. They worked on cutting out the Indiana Jones figures I printed from lego.com IJ downloads. Then we had lego cake. It was a sheet cake that I cut up and placed sm cupcakes on frosted in primaries. I saw at familyfun.com to use marshmallows but the lego site's idea of cupcakes was better. I put six red lego figures on the cake each holding a candle. We also had ice cream and brick candy which I ordered online. It looks like little legos and is suppose to stack but it's a stretch. Then we went into the garage to play with a red lego brick pinata that we made. We used a large rectangle box and hot glued 6 deli containers on one side. Papermached the whole thing and spray painted red. Inside were lego key chains which we called backpack clips little toys and lego shaped fruit snacks from Kellogg's. Then into the basement for pin the e on the lego. I wrote the word Lego on a big sheet of paper like the logo. Copied the E once for each kid on the top of 3M's presentation paper so it was totally sticky and then had the kids blindfolded pin the letter one at a time. We didn't offer prizes for best of anything or closest. Then the kids free played with their legos. Their goody bags were the free bags from the store. I had bought just after Easter Lego sticker kits from Wal-Mart that had a "street scene" that you stuck the City lego stickers on. They also got a history of Lego's timeline in there and a copy of the latest lego magazine that they gave me at the store without much begging. With the lego set from Mr. M and loot from the pinata these kids made out! As a thank you my son & I built all the letters to spell out thank you. I took a phone with the words and him smiling behind. We sent it to each kid with a printout of a dot to dot lego download that we didn't get to at the party. It was pretty great and keep all 10 kids busy while indoors on a rainy day!"
