With the Lego Movie just being released, I thought that this would be the perfect time to share my son’s Lego birthday party that we had a couple of months ago!
I know that there are tons of amazing and beautiful Lego party ideas out there but, unfortunately, most of them seem to involve a lot of time and planning.  Now I love a good party and have done a few big ones myself, but sometimes, you just need to get things done QUICKLY!  This Lego party came together in about five hours on quite a small budget.  Other than the shopping, everything was done in one busy afternoon – the decorating, the food, the cake, and the goodie bags!  It was nothing fancy, but the kids had a great time and everyone thought that it was pretty cool.  And, really, that’s all that matters, right? 🙂
{Since I only had a few hours to get the party together and it was dark by the time I was done, there really wasn’t a whole lot of time for getting any pretty photos! Â Hopefully these will give you a good idea though!}
The decorations were kept pretty simple using mostly materials that I had around the house. Â The large “Lego Blocks” are made from canvases that I covered in wrapping paper. Â I then cut out some circles, inked the edges in black for some definition and stuck them on with pop dots. Â My little one made the number 10 sign out of some Lego blocks for me and it provided the perfect pop of color. Â I then purchased some balloon in the yellow, blue, red, green color scheme that carried on through the party.
I used the same idea for creating the goodie bags {as well as the invitations} and added a Lego mini-figure bag, some Lego block candies, and a Lego flashlight that I had found at the dollar store. Â The goodie bags were all placed in the middle of the table to add some color and height.
For the place settings, I cut out some black vinyl to make the faces and taped on some yellow cardstock to create the Lego head plates. Â I also wrapped some yellow cardstock around mini-pop cans for another little Lego head.
For the food, we made some Lego brick pepperoni pizza with Pillsbury pizza dough. Â
I think the kids’ favorite food was these Lego brick cookies made from store-bought shortbread cookies and M&Ms. Â I actually ended up making up more of these!
The Lego brick cake was just a regular sheet cake with 2 Oreo cookies added for each of the “pegs”.  I was running out of time a bit by this point so it wasn’t the smoothest icing job.  Good thing 10 year old boys don’t notice! 🙂Â
After dinner we took the kids down to a movie and let them fill up a candy bag to take with them. Â I already had the bags and just cut out a circle and a little Lego head to dress them up a bit. Â We also took the Lego juice boxes {that are pictured above with the cake} for a movie drink.
So there you have it! Â A quick and easy Lego party that anyone can do!

This is the cutest idea – I have a 7 & 9 year old who are obsessed with legos. My 9 year old is a master builder…lol Looking for storage ideas also so thanks for these awesome ideas. The party looks so cute – and I am so for easy.

Thanks Tina! My kids are almost the same ages as yours (seven and ten) so I can definitely relate to the Lego obsession! 🙂

Jenn, I just wanted to let you know that I am So glad I recently stumbled upon your site! You have so many great ideas from the Household Diet to the Lego party! I’m a mom of 3 & my youngest is 6 & absolutely LOVES LEGOS. This weekend we’re going to attempt the mini figurine display board. I’m the type of mom who desperately wants an organized & clean house but it just never seems to work out. I love that your ideas are actually realistic & inexpensive. Keep up the great work! I think I’ve found you at the perfect time as we just moved into a new house so you’ve given me some inspiration for a fresh start.

Thanks so much Christine! Congratulations on your new house – definitely the perfect time for a new start! I hope your kids like the display board – mine use theirs all the time. I’m sure you will still have a long Lego life ahead of you! 🙂

We love Legos at our house, too! I love all the ideas. We just saw the Lego movie and my son thought it was so great (and honestly, I did, too!)
