How to Make LEGO Cupcakes!



For LM's Lego Birthday Party, I wanted to find those Lego-shaped candies to put on top of the cupcakes.
BUT 
I couldn't find them!
So instead, I came up with an easy way to make my OWN Lego candies using Air-Heads!
Here it is!

Supplies:

How to Make your own Lego Cupcakes!

1. Unwrap an Airhead and cut a the end of it off. Trim the edges so that it is a rectangle. 
    (Mine is about 1"x1 1/2")

2. Cut a few small pieces off the rest of the airhead--OR use some of the scraps you cut off when you trimmed your rectangle--and shape them into 4 small balls using your fingers.
    **TIP: Wet a washcloth and set it to the side. 
        Wet your fingers slightly on the cloth as you shape the small balls. 
        This will help when your fingers start getting sticky. :)






3. Place the 4 balls on the rectangle. There's your LEGO!



4. Place the LEGO on top of a frosted cupcake!



5. Repeat with all your cupcakes.


 Hope this helps anyone else looking for an easy cupcake idea for a Lego-lovin' Birthday!

Lego Straw Race!


 

Here is another SUPER easy and fun game we did at LM's Lego Party!
The boys had a lot of fun with this one. Check it out!

Supplies:

How to Play!

1. Give each child a plate with a handful of Legos on it, a straw, and a cup.




2. Have them each use their straw to try to transfer their Legos from the plate to the cup---by sucking up through the straw to hold the lego on the end of the straw!



3. Once they get them all in, they can either dump them back out onto the plate and try again, or give them another handful!

**Optional: If you want to make it a competition, you can see who gets done first, etc.
OR, you could have them all racing against a timer.
OR, like us, you can just let them have fun without any competition. And for these 6-7 year olds that was all they needed!

Lego Spoon Race!


One of the games we played during LM's Lego Party was this Spoon Race Game.
It was incredibly simple and easy. The boys LOVED it! This went perfectly with our other fun Lego Games: Homemade Lego Pinata


(Legos are a perfect theme for any birthday party for kids. There are so many cute products out there! Like these Lego birthday candles for your cake. And these cute Lego forks & spoons to all that yummy cake!)

Lego Spoon Race Supplies:
  • Legos
  • 2 Bowls or Buckets
  • 1 spoon
  • Timer (optional)

How to PLAY!
  1. Put a few handful of legos into one of the bowls and line the kids up behind it.
  2. Place the other bowl across the room/yard.
  3. One at a time, have the boys get a spoonful of legos and quickly take it to the next bowl without spilling their spoonful. Then run back and give the spoon to the next in line. 

The boys had a lot of fun with this simple activity. Here are a couple variations you can add to it if you want:

  • Use a timer and see how long it takes for them to complete the task as a team
  • Set the timer for 3-5 minutes and see how many legos they can get in the bowl before the timer runs out.



Have Fun!!

How to Make a Lego Piñata



For LM's Lego Party, I decided to make a Lego Piñata!
I'm all about simple, and this Piñata is about as simple as they come.
It was a smashing success. :)
Check it out!

Supplies:
  • Cardboard box (I used an old diaper box)
  • Rope
  • Piece of wood, or a stick
  • Lots of Candy!!
  • Wrapping Paper in one single color
  • Scotch tape
  • Packing tape
  • 4 Styrofoam cups
  • Cardstock or paper to match the wrapping paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue

How to Make a LEGO Piñata!

1. Put a small hole at the top of the box so your rope can go through. 

2. On the inside of the box, tie the end of the rope to a piece of wood or stick. This will help secure the rope so the Piñata won't fall off when you hang it up. :)

3. Fill the box with candy and tape it shut.

4. Wrap your box like a present with the wrapping paper.




5. When you get to the hole with the rope, cut the paper to go around it. Then use some packing tape to secure the hole so it won't rip. :)



6. Next, cut the tops off of 4 styrofoam cups. Glue these onto the front of your box:



7. Cut out 4 circles that are slightly bigger than the cups. Glue these onto the cups:





There you have it!
Your very own awesome Piñata!


 This was a big hit at LM's party!
I'm pretty sure a giant lego filled with goodies is every boys' dream. :)

HAVE FUN!!

Lego Goodie Bags!



For my son's Lego Party, I made these SUPER SIMPLE, and cute Lego Goodie-Bags!
Check it out!

Supplies:
  • Colorful Paper Bags 
  • Colored cardstock  (You can also use construction paper or scrapbook paper too).
  • Circle-Puncher OR scissors (I LOVE owning this and have found many uses for it. Definitely worth the money! But if you don't have one, you can also just cut circles out with scissors.)
  • Glue

Make the Lego-Bags!

1. Count how many bags you will need. Times that number by 6. You will need to punch out or cut that many circles for your bags. If you have more than one color, then times the number of each color of bags by 6. :)




2. Using your handy Circle Punch, punch out the number of circles you need for each color cardstock.



3. Next, take one of your bags and fold the top of it over about where you think you'll fold it when all the goodies are inside. Then unfold it.

4. From your folded line to the bottom of the bag, put glue in 6 spots where you will glue your circles on, like so:



5. Put circles on the glue:


6. Now do the same thing with all your bags to make them look like Legos!



7. Place your goodies inside and fold the top over. All done! You're ready to party!



And here are some fun goodies you can put in your awesome Lego Goodie Bags!
