Set Up Fun Construction Activities

Keep the crew busy with hands-on fun:

Wrecking Ball: Let kids swing a plastic ball attached to string to try and knock down a stack of cardboard boxes or giant jenga pieces.

Hammer + Nail Station: Use craft floral blocks to let kids practice their hammering skills with gold tees and plastic toy hammers.

Cone Ring Toss: Use mini cones and rings for a themed twist on a classic game.

Dig Site: Fill a kiddie pool or sandbox with toy trucks and buried treasures.

Build-a-Tower Station: Use blocks or mini boxes for stacking challenges.

Serve Construction Themed Snacks

Stick with simple, kid-friendly foods and give them fun construction names:

"Wrecking Balls" (cheese balls or donut holes)

"Dirt Cups" (chocolate pudding with crushed cookies)

"Fuel Up" (juice or lemonade station)

 

Label each snack with printable food tents from our decor kits!
