Thomas Birthday Partyware You Can't Do Without

By Patti L.

Thomas the Train and his friends have been a favorite of kids for years. They're always off on some adventure and they never say quit. Re-create that spirit for your boy's next birthday party with Thomas party goods. There will be smiles all around.

Start off with some great Thomas decorations. The Jumbo Singing balloon is a perfect choice. It's 31" long and plays a delightful Thomas happy birthday tune. Give it a tap and have Thomas say a special birthday greeting for all the guests.

Make your decorating chores easy by stocking up on Train Door Activity Hangers. You can cover these foam door hangers with colorful stars, letters, and train-themed signs with just a little bit of glue (part of the kit). It dries quick and you'll be ready to spread them all over the party room.

Add to the look with a set of Thomas Removable Wall Decorations. Featuring all the fun friends and the main train himself in multiple colors, they'll stick to any smooth surface. But they come off easily without staining and there's no mess to clean up afterwards.

Decorating the cake is equally easy with a Thomas & Friends Cake Topper. They are the perfect finish to the railroad yard cake design you worked so hard to create.

Be sure to let everyone know that the party is about to start as the train pulls into the station. The 5" wood whistles are a great way to do just that. Hand one out to each child and let them form a choo-choo train themselves. They'll travel right on down the track to where the goodies are.

March the kids over to the table and give them some juice from some great Thomas the Train Cups. These colorful red and yellow cabooses provide a removable top and a bendable straw, so no spills to clean up. Just make sure they don't run them off the rails...

You can prevent that if you keep the kids busy with some Thomas & Friends Sticker Activity kits. With a hundred reusable stickers and two fold-out scenes, the partygoers will be concentrating for a long time with these. They can make up stories themselves as they move Thomas around from Chicago to New York.

Of course, they need to be dressed for the occasion. The Engineer Hat and Red Bandana are ideal for that. Complete the outfit with a Thomas T-shirt featuring everyone's favorite train. Take them back to yesteryear when train engineers wore a striped hat and waved to all the wide-eyed kids as they passed by.

Complete that story with a Thomas Play Tent. It's a gigantic 52"L x 26"W x 38"H and has two flap doors and a sunroof. The children can take turns being the engineer or fireman. That will make the perfect ending to a fun Thomas the Train birthday party.
