Another birthday party idea.
For my son’s third birthday he wanted to celebrate with Buddy from Dinosaur Train, the PBS series.
I started with this cute invitation. I made the head of Buddy with trusty Cameo. I downloaded the little train from the Silhouette Cameo store.
I painted Buddy and the Conductor on some poster board so everyone could have their pictures made with the Dinosaur Train characters.
I used a Wilton cake pan to make the train cake. I decorated with candy and it was totally fun. I used a lot of my son’s train toys for additional decorations.
Finally for an activity, I drew various dinosaurs on poster board and colored them in. I hung them all over our large yard. I made a Pteranodon Station sign for the front porch and gave everyone tickets. The kids loaded up into a trailer attached to a UTV…..The Dinosaur Train….and rode all over looking for and finding all the dinosaurs.
It’s amazing what you can do with some paper and some markers to make a great party. It wasn’t expensive but the kids had a terrific time.
