Three Year Old Truck Party

This happened this summer for my son's third birthday.  We skipped some of the fancy decorating and spent more time on some activities one involving the consumption of food.  The theme was all types of trucks.  We did the following activities:

Route 66 obstacle course.  We made road signs and put them on the fence to coordinate with the obstacle.  (Tunnel, bump, slippery when wet, etc). 

We had a "Car Wash" with bubble toys and squirt toys.  We were limited with our activities here because of our strict watering restrictions this summer. 

Construction Site.  We put play construction trucks and blocks by the the play set. 

Matt's Diner.  By far my favorite creation.  We turned our screened patio into a dinner.  Complete with menu's and salt and pepper shakers for the kids to shake.  They loved ordering off their menus.  It was a hit. 

Truck Scavenger Hunt. We placed laminated pictures of trucks and cars around the yard.  They collected them and stuck them on a big road we created in the house. 

Ice Cream!  Instead of cupcakes or cake I took the easy route and went for something simple yet fun.  We did ice cream and lots of yummy toppings.  They loved the toppings and so did the adults. 

Goodie Bags.  They decorated their bags at the start of the party with stickers.  I filled the goodie bags with candy, crackers, Teddy Grahams, Chips Ahoy cookies, an eraser truck, a dollar store truck, and a crazy straw. 

My sons favorite part had to be the presents.  Go figure.  :)
