Robot Theme For Child Birthday Party

Wendolonia went the whole nine yards with this creative robot 5th birthday party theme for her son.  She designed sweet robot birthday party invitations, a robot birthday cake from the Betty Crocker website, robot table decor and even a robot goody bag.     Here’s show she describes the birthday party favors.

“I decided the big treat in the goody bags would be a bag of “nuts and bolts” (basically, just Chex party mix). If you look around on the web a bit, you’ll find that this is a robot party staple.  I used Cheerios for the “nuts” and straight pretzels for the “bolts” and then I threw in some M&M’s so I wouldn’t be like that mean mom who sends kids home from a birthday party with tofu and broccoli. I put the mix into 4×6 clear bags and then I used my robot art to make toppers that were stapled on to the bags. I also put a glow stick into each bag and a cheap plastic toy — one of those things you blow into that makes a whirrrr noise. Those both seemed kind of robot-y to me.”

The best part?  Wendolina shares high quality printable images of the invitations and labels for goodie bags so that you can host a robot birthday party too!
