Lego Birthday Party Ideas

FREE Printable Lego Invitation - made by me.

It's the size of a standard photograph - 6x4 inches.

The size of a standard photo ... you have the choice of printing them at your local photo shop or even upload it to a print on demand site and order them to be printed on photo paper (choose matte printing if possible so it's easiest to write on). Or you could print at home on photo paper and set it for 2 or 4 to a page and then cut after printing.
If it's printed on photo glossy paper... the only problem will be that it won't be that easy to write on. You'll need to use permanent marker for it to show and stay without smudging.

Sensationally talented Sweet Sugar Belle has written a step by step cookie tutorial

How to make gorgeous Lego Mini-Figure head Cookies!!!

Talented Callye has even included a FREE lego head template to make sure you make your cookies just right!!

If you haven't already seen Sweet Sugar Belle's blog then you must have a look around while you're there. Not only does this gorgeous girl make the most fabulous cookies ever but she shares all her tips, how to's and recipes with EVERYONE! She's definitely one of the best baking blogs on the web without any doubt in my mind! I love her blog and have been keeping an eye on her blog for well over 6 months to a year!

Kirsten was one of the very first to show us her LEGO party and I love how much DIY she did!

Be inspired by her fabulous party!!

Black Marker on yellow cups is all it takes to create these awesome mini figure head cups! Marker on yellow bags with a cut out top piece stuck on is also how easy it is to create Kirsten's mini-figure head goody bags!!
I love her idea of the table runner which she made herself using paint and a texta/marker lid!! So easy...
And her idea of home made LEGO wrapping paper is so fabulous... I"ll be doing this one. She took duplo... stuck it in the stamp pad (or you could use paint) and then used them like a stamp! (same could be done with lego bricks for sure)

And Kirsten proves that making a race track doesn't have to be expensive or take forever! She used a fold up table ... left one side folded to create the steep dip and then added a bottom piece for the cars to glide off the bottom. Just tape on some lines and you've got yourself a ready made DIY LEGO car race track!

Tau's 5th Birthday Lego Party! Awesome Ideas here!!

Photo's and Ideas used with permission from Sue.

Tau's Mum Sue made chocolate covered marshmallow lego mini figure pop treats! Her inspiration came from Amy of livinglocurto.com (I've featured her ideas too further below).

Making marshmallow candy pop's are easier than you might expect!

You have two options for making the marshmallow base.
1. When Sue made her mallow men... she cut a mini marshmallow in half and then attached the cut stickier side face down on a large marshmallow.
or
2. Amy sliced the bottom off a large marshmallow and then cut a smaller circle out of the cut piece (Amy used a frosting tip to create her circle cut outs). Then attach the circle with stickier cut side facing down on the top of a large marshmallow.

Although for cake pop's it's recommended to use candy melts... I've since realised candy melts are really just thicker chocolate. And Sue actually found it quite a long task having to make her marshmallow pops with candy melts as it was a thick paste to begin with and even after adding oil it was not thin enough for dipping. She ended up having to use her cake spatula to even out the chocolate which took a lot of time. She says if she were to do it again it would be with yellow colored white chocolate (so I recommend using normal white baking chocolate then)

Heat your white chocolate and add the yellow coloring. (to color chocolate you must use a powder or oil based food coloring!... do not use standard food coloring as they are water based). When I melt chocolate I heat about a cup of chocolate in the microwave for no longer than 2 minutes. When I pull it out of the microwave most of the buds are still formed... but that's ok ... I just stir for a while and they all melt and combine together. (you don't want to overheat chocolate as it will ruin).

Then just attach your lolly pop sticks to the marshmallow bases and dip away.

Sue used black frosting for her faces which look great. You can also use edible black pens (edible pens won't show as dark and the lines won't be as thick though)



How cool are the lego pop holders in the photo! Sue's obviously used rectangle polystyrene... cut rounded pieces .... then glued them together to look like a lego brick then painted them blue! So creative!!



Sue made her own lego bunting for the party. Very easy for you to do the same... just use colored card, string, black marker and a stapler and you're got all you need to create your own.



After finding a giant cardboard box on the neighbours front lawn Sue thought up the idea of a photo face cut out stand for the party.

When I saw her I idea I realised this would be perfect to use for your party thank you's! You could get a photo of each child (and if you make it a double cut out... it could be a photo of both parent and child) in the cut out and then get the photo's printed on cards (zazzle can do that) or just print them out on standard photo card stock. Then hand write a thank you message on the message. What a fabulously personal thank you card... and it will be a keepsake many of them will keep forever.



And Sue also did a wonderful party game that is perfect for Lego parties.

She set up a table and filled it with just lego pieces and the kids spent as much time as they wanted building their own lego racing cars (as did most of the parents too!) and then when they'd all finished they raced them!! Sue had a very special drag racing track made for the occasion too but you could create any kind of racing track (downhill preferred of course).

To make lego chocolates it's so easy.
Put chocolate buds in microwave safe bowl. For about a cup full microwave for 2 minutes. Don't worry if the buds still look whole cause you'll stir and they'll slowly melt away. (don't want to overheat the chocolate as it will burn or ruin).
Then just pour or spoon the chocolate into the mold. Freeze or refrigerate and whoila. When they're hard you just turn them upside and gently tap or twist them out.

My First Go at Fondant Character Cupcakes

Very Easy to make LEGO Minifigure Fondant Heads!

I felt just like I was back in Primary School. I've always loved sculpting... loved ceramics the most in high school so making fondant characters is a definite enjoyment factor for me.
To make these I just purchased pre made fondant... colored it with Wilton yellow (do not use water based food coloring) and then you make things just like plasticine. Leave to dry at least overnight.
I did the face with edible black pen.

More DIY Lego Party Ideas

Pepper created this Lego party table. Wrapping the juice boxes (Primas) in colored paper and attaching circles to make them look like lego blocks is a great party table option. If you have a circle paper punch this job would be really quite easy with some double sided tape!

And you can just make out in the photo... the wonderful napkin holder behind the juice boxes... completely made out of lego.. another fab idea!!

And a centrepiece made out of Lego and/or Duplo... spelling out Happy Birthday - another idea for decorating your party.
