Thomas Partyware For Your Little Train Conductor

by Patti L.

Thomas the Train and his friends have been around for years and kids still love them. No surprise. They’re always ready for some adventure and they never give up in the face of obstacles. You can create that can-do spirit for your child’s next birthday party with Thomas The Tank Engine birthday supplies.

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.

Oh, and don’t forget to decorate the cake, too. Thomas makes that fun and simple with the Thomas & Friends Cake Topper. There’s no better way to top off that railroad yard cake design you worked so hard on.

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.

You can complete the fun activity using a Thomas Play Tent. It’s a huge 52″L x 26″W x 38″H and has two flap doors and a sunroof. Everyone can take turns moving in and out as they pretend to be the engineer or fireman. What a fun… so long as they don’t put any burning coal inside!
