![]() ![]() ![]() With your child turning a year older, why not play with this idea and spread the birthday cheer?□ To your little toddler… its bright colors, humongous wheels and snazzy sounds is almost too exciting to pass. There’s something about garbage trucks that get kids running to the door every time they’re nearby. Linking everything I can below if you want to recreate some trash truck and rainbow magic for your littles ones birthday.This garbage truck’s dumping in for a fun, trash-themed party kids will never forget! No dumpster diving involved, we promise.□īetter get your little one ready, things are about to get a little messy in here! Parents, let’s face it. Basically Otis had a blast (after first having a melt down when everyone went inside his bouncy house!! TODDLER FEELINGS!) and I am so glad we got to celebrate with some of his friends before our move. They kindly send along the bags with a few goodies inside. For entertrainment, I set up our bouncy house and it was a big hit! Another special treat for all the kids was gift bags provided by Waste Management to each of Otis’ buddies that came to the party. So I put two together and put a linen + natural fibered runners down the middle to pull it together. My friend had some pallets and I knew they would make the perfect kids tables. We ordered pizza which is always a hit with everyone. I set up grab bag snacks: chips, goldfish, and veggie sticks for the kids along with some juice boxes and adult beverages. I also ordered some cupcakes so we could save the cake for our family birthday singing for him at night and cupcakes are just easier than chopping and handing out cake. The cake was another easy project that I outsourced to my local supermarket! I bought a small trash truck toy on amazon and brought it to the grocery store bakery and showed them an inspirational picture of the truck dumping sprinkles onto the cake. This saved me alot of time but still gave the party a really fun DIY element. I sent these files to a local printer to have them print and make the sign and garland. They sold a template for a cut out photobooth sign so I bought that and the artwork to create garland to hang up. Otis LOVES that show and kept calling it, “Funny Trash Truck.” So I asked him if he wanted Funny Trash Truck to come to his birthday and of course he said yes. I actually found a shop on Etsy that sold Trash Truck show artwork. If you don’t have a balloon pump, and are planning to make a balloon arch, stop what you are doing and BUY THIS NOW. You know I love a balloon arch and Blake is Dad of the year and created them all for me. They had alot of primary rainbow paper goods and some killer rainbow balloon arches so I started there. MeriMeri always has great party goods and mix and match well together. So instead of take on all the DIY I outsourced. I didn’t have much time on my hands with a newborn this year so I knew no matter what we planned it needed to be simple to execute. It was easy to combine 2 of Otis’ favorite things: Trash Trucks and Rainbows. Nothing wrong in spoiling our little ones. Of course Blake said, “DONT GO OVERBOARD” but you know… I always get a little carried away. We had a small get together with some of Otis’ good friends outside in our backyard. I blame the cross country move madness!!! This party was our last hurrah before we moved out of the house! So wild. ![]()
