Ideas for Birthday Party Centerpieces Using Little Tikes
- A birthday party hosted for your favorite little boy would be a good occasion to create a Little Tikes toy trucks and cars centerpiece. To make, spray paint a foam base brown to resemble dirt; add real dirt to the wet paint for a textured look. Push rocks and a few pieces of grass into the base as decoration before placing the cars and trucks on the base. If you want to create a road scene, paint the base black and add a yellow strip as a road. Set miniature cars on the road and embellish the scene with miniature trees purchased from craft stores.
- A nature-loving Little Tikes lover will be thrilled when she sees the Butterfly Net centerpiece. Paint a circular piece of foam grass green. Poke fresh grass blades into the foam as well as several silk flower stems. In the center of the circle, stick a green-colored chopstick. Prop the Little Tikes Butterfly Net against the chopstick and secure it in place with a piece of wire. Add wires to the three butterflies that come with the net and stick the free ends of the wires into the foam to make the butterflies appear to be in flight.
- If your little man runs around "fixing" things around the house, you may want to consider using a DiscoverSounds® Hammer and Screw Driver from Little Tikes as a centerpiece for the birthday boy. Spray paint a circular piece of foam grey and wrap the edges of the foam with a cloth measuring tape. Hot-glue screws and nuts to the foam and then lay the DiscoverSounds® Hammer and Screw Driver in the center.
- A musical child will appreciate the Baby Tap-a-Tune® Piano as a centerpiece. Spray paint a circular piece of foam yellow and place the Baby Tap-a-Tune® Piano in the center. Curl sheet music for "Happy Birthday" into a roll and release it to give it some shape before pasting it onto the foam. Finish the centerpiece by sprinkling musical note-shaped confetti over the entire centerpiece.
