Finding Fairy Tales: Harrison's Construction Themed 3rd Birthday Party

In January, Harrison turned 3 years old, but I knew well before then what his birthday theme would be!! We can barely drive down the street a few blocks before he has spotted a digger, bulldozer, tractor, truck, or some other kind of construction vehicle. It's a gift... :) While this theme was very decoration intensive, it was so cute and a ton of fun! I was so thankful for my Silhouette machine to cut out all of the signs and shapes!

Our whole house was transformed into a construction site with caution tape, caution signs, hard hats, safety cones, and more!

Caution tape was a must have for this party theme! All the party guests got a caution hat as they entered.
The kids loved wearing them around!

Two pieces of foam board taped together made a great CAUTION sign! The black letters were cut out using my Silhouette machine and a black sharpie and a ruler made the diagonal lines.

These safety cone candles from Amazon were the perfect addition to the construction cake!

While I know that food without themed names tastes the same as food with themed names, I still love finding ways to make the food items fit the theme of the party! From the chicken nuggets to the chips and cake, it wasn't hard at all to find construction site themed names for all the different food items! After adding a few safety cones, a bulldozer, a digger, and a caution sign, and we had a feast ready for even the hungriest construction workers!

One thing I love about the South is that even in January you can have a party outside!! We were so blessed with beautiful weather on the day of Harrison's party. I was so grateful for the mild 60's temperature and sunny skies, because I had planned for lots of fun activities outside....a Construction Zone building station, an exploration tub filled with rice and different construction vehicles, and a safety cone ring toss. All the games were fun, but I think the rice tub was the biggest hit!
