While party planning can be a pain, it doesn’t have to be as painful as stepping on a Lego, YEEOUCH! Lego began as a childhood favorite toy all the way back in the 1950’s. Half a century (plus!) later, it’s continually reinventing itself, while remaining true to its roots (seriously, you can dig up the grandparents sets and they will still work with the ones you bought today!). The Lego Movie took Lego from being a simple toy, to a pretty popular party theme in recent years, but long after the movie’s release it continues to be a popular choice for kids’ birthdays. Those colorful blocks bring up some really creative menu ideas when hosting a Lego party, and here’s ten of the best and brightest!
This one is incredibly simple: use one large and one mini marshmallow on a popsicle stick, and dip in yellow colored white chocolate candy wafers, these pops are easily customizable with a food safe black pen. These are a great addition to your party, and easily made ahead of time, which is essential when party planning!

It’s all in the way you stage it. Simply doing bread cut outs and adhering to the top of each sandwich with a spread of your choice. Sandwiches can be peanut butter and jelly, egg salad, ham and cheese, whatever! It also helps that being cut this way makes them crustless, saving you from throwing out plate after plate of uneaten crusts during party cleanup (you know it’s true!).

Breaking out those Lego molds again, these individually served s’mores are an impressive sweet treat that stays away from the bright and bold (perfect for kids with food coloring allergies!)

Clear drink dispensers are a common household item now, because they are a great way to serve punches and drinks at parties all year round. Simply by adding a Lego “face” to the outside of the large jug, and filling with an orange juice (or a punch/drink of similar coloring) you can make your drink station at your party perfectly themed as well.
