Lego Cake

via Swissmiss

Ok, so it's really called a Building Block cake over on Betty Crocker but they definitely look like Legos to me!  How cute and easy!  There's so much you can do with a lego-themed party...I'll have to remember that for the future.

Readymech Paper Toys

via Designmom

What a great idea! Readymechs are free, flatpack toys for you to print and build. They are designed to fit on an 8.5"x11" page and printed with any printer. You’ll need double-sided tape, thick matte paper, and 10-15 minutes for build time.

Giant Cupcake Pan

Martha Stewart Kids

Man, the people over at Martha Stewart are brilliant - there are so many amazing ideas on their website for party ideas, it's making my head spin.  I just saw over on designmom's blog that a new mini-issue of Martha Stewart Kids is out, focusing on kids parties.

I love the polka-dot themed parties w/the padded envelope purse favors & polka dot personalized cds in the baby shower section.
