Have a train birthday party. Here are a bunch of the things we did.
  • We bought a train cake pan from Williams and Somona and proceeded to decorate each car with different icing and candies. We also got out a big sheet of craft paper and decorated train tracks. Then we just laid out all the decorated cars on the paper on the dinning room table. After the party it was pretty easy cleanup. This was also our sons first birthday so we needed the single cake for him as well to dig into, and these individual cakes are perfect for that.
  • Another easy thing to do is to add train tracks to your front door.
  • Of course we also have an LGB train set that is in our front garden, so we made sure that was up an running as well.
  • There are lots of party favors you can hand out. Engineer hats are relatively inexpensive. You could also do train whistles or Thomas trains (though a bit pricey for most people).
Always remember though do what your kids like. It’s no fun if the kids hate it and they are not having fun, because at the end of the day you will be miserable too.
