Introduction
The concept of birthday parties have been passed on from one generation to the next and is such a day, that is celebrated within every culture around the globe, regardless of ethnicity, race, colour and even religion. From getting public holidays to celebrate the birthdays of important political figures, to staying up till 12 am just to say “Happy Birthday” is a common practice, exercised by all individuals within any given society, developed or developing. The difference is, how one celebrates a birthday.

Features
If your child loves watching Thomas and friends, and enjoys playing with toy train tracks then this idea is your light bulb! Start with the train birthday parties theme. Have the boy wear a train conductor suit with a black and white striped hat. The room should be decorated in red and white streamers and balloons (there’s no party without balloons!) with card boards cut in different shapes and sizes of trains. With cut out windows that can act as a place kids can stick their heads out of and take pictures. You could also have a train shaped pinata filled with tiny treats. If it’s an out door party, then it needs games. Games could include scavenger hunts for train tickets followed by a ride in the cardboard train. Other games could include train puzzle pieces to be put together. Or a personalized “Simon says” a game as the “Conductor says” where the birthday boy wearing the conductor suit can order to jump, skip, run, and stop. Prizes could include train shaped cookies, bumper stickers, whistles, train sets and lollipops shaped like a choo choo!
The main part of a train birthday parties would be cutting the train cake! Make sure to give in the order before time and to make it a little different, instead of the children clapping after singing the birthday wish, they could blow whistles. Other items on the food menu could include sandwiches, and cookies with a train cutter so the shape is following the theme.
Give aways or party favors should be given at the end of the party, as a souvenir of the most memorable party the kids have attended. Make sure to include a conductors hat, a whistle, and of course, come candy.
