Caboose Fun With Thomas Birthday Supplies

by Patti L.

Thomas the Train and his friends are a favorite of kids. Those fun characters are always on an adventure and they never give up. You can create that spirit for your boy’s next birthday party with Thomas birthday party goods and produce smiles all around.

Start that effort with some terrific Thomas the Train decorations. The Jumbo Singing balloon is a great beginning. It’s 31″ long and plays a tiny Thomas tune. Give this balloon a tap and Thomas will announce a special birthday greeting.

Stock up on Train Door Activity Hangers. You can cover these foam door hangers with colorful stars, letters, and train-themed signs using just a bit of glue that comes with the kit. Then hang everything up on door handles, ledges, the mantle… everywhere!

Now add to the look with some Removable Wall Decorations. They feature all those fun Thomas friends that kids love, along with the main train himself. They come in multiple colors and will stick to any smooth surface, like a door or refrigerator. Then, when the party is over, they come off easily without staining.

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.

Guide them to the table and let each have some juice from a Thomas the Train Cup. These colorful red and yellow cabooses have a removable top and a bendable straw, so you won’t have to worry about cleaning up spills afterwards.

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.
