Party Invitations

- Robot-themed party decorations are very popular. You’ll find plenty of ideas and inspiration at party stores and online sources.
Party Games & Activities
- Collect kid-size cardboard boxes and decorating supplies found at party stores, dollar stores or the hardware. Cut holes for arms. Let kids create robot costumes to wear while playing games.
- Or use cereal boxes and recycled cans to build robot creatures.
- Score a close-out on metal or colorful plastic pasta strainers and turn into robot headgear! Use a couple of them when planning relay races; use for each child as a party favor!
- Plan a “treasure hunt,” using favorite story to provide the action or problem needing solving!
- Use ideas with Lego® building bricks and transformer toys to create contests—tallest robot, best robot made while blindfolded, fastest motherboard or robot assembly while wearing rubber gloves.
Food Fun & Favors
- Wrap Turkey-Spinach Wraps in foil for serving.
- Skip the sandwiches for young partygoers. Arrange munchies in symmetrical patterns in sections of divided food trays, using foods such as snack crackers, vegetable slices and sticks, fresh fruit chunks, dried apricots or raisins. Add ranch dressing or yogurt to smallest section for dipping.
- Send kids home with some Giant Polka Dot Cookies in a bag decorated with shiny ribbon and a robot keychain or zipper pull as a treat.
