We were blessed to celebrate my oldest son's 7th birthday this past weekend. Being that his birthday fell on the last weekened of the month and we are on a Military budget, I had to really think this out. He wanted a Lego's theme, and this mama would not, could not, should not dare to let her little boy down. So here is what I did to make it happen...
First, I swiped some bubble wrap from the garage and spray painted some white, some orange and some black... This made for the perfect Lego like feel.
Then I made my little lego men who you see standing around out of card stock.. was very simple. I found my template at: http://zakkalife.blogspot.com/2010/04/lego-kirigami.html.
While the bubble wrap dried, I ventured out to make these funky yet very attractive "to children" hanging fan like thingies. Ya, all my boys were fooled.. they thought they were Lego stuff. All I did was get three sheets of card stock folded them back and forth like we did in gradeschool to make a fan, folded each page in half, stapled them together and added the streamer. Thats it! So simple and so fast and yet so fascinating to the kids.
I free handed and made two lego man heads for xtra decor, and soon, my lego theme was almost complete. All I needed was to make the cupcakes and wake up the birthday boy. I made the cupcakes out of regular white cake mix and used regular creamy frosting. I was going to make some crush soda cupcakes, but by the time I was about to make them two kids were trying to get me to read their library books and I needed the break.
