Throw a Bob the Builder construction birthday party for the little boy or girl with a knack for building and creativity. Plan the invitations, decorations, cake and activity around a construction party theme with the tips below.

Customize construction birthday invitations online then deliver them by text or email to family and friends. Include details such as the name of the event, the name of the guest of honor, date, time and location. Consider Bob the Builder wording such as "Can we fix it? Yes we can!" or "Bob the Builder invites you to Joey's 5th birthday party!"

Decorate the party with a blue, orange and yellow color scheme to match the Bob the Builder theme. Purchase balloons in the same colors from your local party store and hang streamers around the tables and in the doorways. Place orange construction cones throughout the room. Hang yellow construction signs on the walls that say, “Detour Ahead” and “Road Work.”

Purchase or bake a Bob the Builder birthday cake for the party. Bake either a square or round vanilla cake and frost the cake with yellow frosting. Purchase plastic figures to place on top of the cake, such as Bob the Builder, a tractor and a bulldozer. Place the crumbled graham crackers or chocolate cookies in front of the tractor and bulldozer to represent dirt or sand and write a special message on the top of the cake.

Plan a fun Bob the Builder theme activity for the kids during the party. Gather all of the kids at a large table, and cover it with newspaper or an old plastic tablecloth. Pass out yellow construction hats to all of the children, similar to the hat in the Bob the Builder show. Provide decorating supplies for the hats, such as stickers, sequins and glitter. Keep the hats on the table until the end of the party, to give them a chance to dry. Alternatively, set up a table with blocks so guests can build their own masterpieces!

 

Once the big day arrives, send a construction-themed free ecard to the birthday kid! Include a digital gift card to make the birthday card even sweeter.
