We had a Train Party for my 3 year old this past weekend and he loved it! My 9 year old helped me so much get everything made & set up..couldn’t have pulled it off without him!

Here is my sweet little 3 year old Birthday Boy!

We started out by making our backdrop. We got a green board from Michaels for a few bucks & covered the top with blue wrapping paper for the sky. We drew on a track with marker & printed out train cars to say..Happy Birthday Levi! Super easy and it turned out really cute….

We decided to make a train cake to look like a actual train. Since we were making so many things I totally cheated this year and bought pre-made Sara Lee pound cakes. I didn’t want to get into cutting blocks of cake and try frosting them with all the crumbs. These little pound cakes worked out perfect and made things fun for us to decorate….

We covered a board with green wrapping paper. My 9 year old suggested that we make a hill using small empty boxes that we had. It was easy and we had fun making it. We used green construction paper to cover up the sides of the hill. We used brown & black paper to make the track….

We frosted the cakes with this frosting HERE. It tasted wonderful with the pound cakes! We used chocolate graham crackers, Twizzler strings, a ice cream cone, Keebler cookies, & M&M’s to decorate the front…

We colored our frosting in different bowls for the separate cars. We used candies & snacks we had on hand to fill the cars like chocolate covered raisins, pretzel sticks, gummy worms, & Swedish fish…

This was a fun and easy cake to make and the kids loved it!

We also made these super easy Train Sign Marshmallow Pops. All we did was cut jumbo marshmallows in half. Spray them with yellow edible color & also wrote on the top with black edible marker. For the Railroad Crossing signs we cut the sides from a square s’mores marshmallow using kitchen scissors & then wrote on the front with the black edible marker…

Here is my happy 3 year old with his Train Birthday Cake…

This is our party table….

Some of this was last minute stuff, but we put grapes on skewers, filled containers with snacks. We printed off wheels and glued them on mini bread baking containers that we found at Walmart. My 9 year old made the big train from boxes….

We made a little sign with my 3 year olds picture in the train….

We also made other containers from popcorn boxes & my 9 year old made this train as well….

We had some healthy train snacks using pineapple & fruit leather….

We made these easy train railroad crossing cookies using vanilla wafers & black edible marker. We put peanut butter in between the cookies….

We added a train track around our screened in porch & my 9 year old made tunnels….

The kids had a blast!

We made these cute little Hershey Candy Trains for the kids to take home. This was a big hit and super easy to put together! We covered a package of Rolo’s with construction paper. We taped Cookie & Cream Kisses together for the wheels. We put a miniature Twix on the bottom & taped the Rolos on top. We broke a toothpick in half and pressed it in a kiss for the top. We unwrapped 2 Rolo’s for the top and wrapped them in aluminum foil. We then taped a Hershey’s miniature on top of that….

This is how we had them set up for the kids to take home….

Happy Birthday little Levi…we love you so much!!!
