LEGO Birthday Party Ideas

I cannot believe my little guy is SEVEN years old. Each and every year he is into something and since The LEGO Movie came out he’s been into Legos more than ever, although he loved them before.

So this year he decided he wanted a Lego themed birthday. We invited friends and family to come fellowship with us celebrating Lincoln while having lots of “lego” fun.

Hope you enjoy these LEGO Birthday Ideas:

Mini-figure Goodie Bags

When the kids arrived they started off my coloring their own mini-figure.

I used a mini-figure printable I found and stapled them to the brown bags to keep all their fun stuff in. This also allowed time for the kids to get creative while waiting on some friends who arrived a bit later.

Each child also got a LEGO brick crayon we had made the day before, see how to make your own here.

LEGO Necklace

After working on the goodie bags we were going to play a game but we ran out of time (see description below).

Next each child got a zip- bag set to make a necklace. Included in the sets was a 2×6 LEGO brick and 3 color strands of OOOOOO, We used them to make these Friendship LEGO braclets, but instead made necklaces because it was a lot easier to explain to the several kids who attended.

I wish I had come up with the idea, but hey, that’s what pinterest is for!! 🙂 I ordered the LEGO pieces (which were only 20 cents each) and drilled holes on the sides beforehand. Each child chose their thread set colors and we helped them make their necklaces.

Water Gun Ice-cube Game

We were going to play this game after kids’ colored their goodie bags but due to a thunderstorm a couple hours before we decided not to. The melt your Ice-cube water gun game is when each kid receives an ice-cube with a 2×6 LEGO brick frozen in it and a water gun. The object was to melt the ice via water gun, hands or however they could manage melting it, and first person to get their LEGO brick out won. They could win a prize from the dollar store.

You would then go on to make your LEGO bracelet or necklace.

Water Fun!

After kids made their necklaces, it was time for some water fun. I had ordered this Huge Slip & Slide to use during the summer and hopefully summers to come and everyone had a blast.

It was a bit rough when some kids fell hard on the ground, if you are going to use something like this, I suggest putting tarps down underneath. And of course adult supervision the WHOLE time.

Food

After a while, it was time to eat. We had homemade Petro’s (recipe to come), and some fruit, veggies with homemade ranch or hummus and chips & salsa. It was a huge hit!

Cake & More…

Lastly, we sang “Happy Birthday” to Lincoln, ate cake and Lincoln opened up all his gifts.

For the cake, I decided to make cupcakes which I’ve been doing the past few years. I can make them ahead of time and know the ingredients instead of the processed, artificial flavor and color stuff. I made his favorite chocolate cake (using this recipe, yes it has sugar!) with homemade chocolate butter cream frosting and topped them with chocolate mini-figures and bricks.
