26 Brilliant LEGO Birthday Party Ideas (Food, Décor & Games)

Lots of kids and adults have likely played the classic game, Twister. But this takes the classic and gives it a LEGO upgrade, making it a perfect game for your brick-inspired party. The vibrant play mat is comprised of various colored bricks that correspond to the included spinner. Start calling out the directions, such as “Right Hand Blue,” and watch as kids bend, twist, reach, and inevitably fall. LEGO Twister is fun for the players and the onlookers.

Anyone coming to a LEGO party is likely going to expect there to be a build station, which is a good thing because this is easy-peasy to set up. Get a table or two that is an appropriate height for your young guests and set out a bunch of LEGOs. Using a classic LEGO set is a great way to provide variety and leave things open-ended, so kids can design and create whatever they please. This is a good activity to keep available throughout the party for kids to visit as they want.

Here’s a classic party game that gets a LEGO makeover from Chickabug. Fill a clear jar with LEGO bricks and place a sign nearby asking guests to guess how many blocks are in the jar. Provide slips of paper for guests to write down their best guess and their name. The person who comes the closest without going over wins a prize. If you’re throwing a party for toddlers or very young children, consider using DUPLO blocks. But for older kids, fill the jar with regular, classic LEGO bricks. Whichever type of bricks you choose, make sure you select all the same size.

Hang up a LEGO piñata at the party as a fun final activity. This is also a great way to give your guests their party favors. Let kids take turns swinging to try and break open the piñata (or use a pull-string version for a quieter game). Once all the surprises spill out onto the ground, give everyone a loot bag to gather up their treasures. You can use candy, stickers, and small trinkets like stamps, bracelets, and keychains as fillers.

An arts and crafts station is another fun way to keep kids engaged and occupied (and quiet–maybe). It’s a good activity to sandwich in between more high-energy games. Set out some pre-printed mini-figure silhouettes like Moms and Crafters and let kids color and decorate their figures. Simple craft supplies like pom poms, buttons, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes will provide lots of options for LEGO artists to stretch their imaginations.

Kids love marshmallows, and they really love chocolate-covered marshmallows. Renee’s Soirees shows off some brickhead marshmallow pops that are easy to make with a few simple ingredients. A jumbo marshmallow and a mini marshmallow cut in half create the iconic head shape. Place them on a lollipop stick, dip them in yellow-colored chocolate, and let them set. Then pipe on the eyes and mouth with some black frosting for the final touch.

Kids love pizza, and when people come to a kid’s party, pizza is one of those things many people expect to find on the food table. Heavenly Homemakers decides to give the pizza a slight adjustment to match a LEGO theme. Serve small rectangular pieces, each with two pieces of pepperoni, and you have an instant cheesy and delicious LEGO brick that kids won’t be able to resist. If you’re not up for making your own pizza, order a large rectangular one from a local pizza place, cut as desired, and add pepperoni.

Healthy options are always a welcome sight on a party table. Fresh fruit is something a lot of kids love to eat. With a few strategically cut pieces of fruit, you can create these cute fruit kabobs that resemble LEGO mini figures. These LEGO men are sure to please kids with their grape, watermelon, and pineapple bodies. Put everything on popsicle or lollipop sticks, and little guests have an easy, healthy snack to eat on the go.

Sometimes, all you need to do is concentrate on your serving style when it comes to matching your party theme. Creative snacks and drinks are great, but if you get to the point where you don’t want to make elaborate treats and intricately cut fruit, how about going simple? My Modern Tudor fills cups that feature LEGO bricks with plain popcorn for an instant colorful addition to the party menu.

Frugal Fun 4 Boys decides to make a LEGO-worthy beverage using shaped ice cubes. These LEGO coolers are refreshing and colorful, and it just takes a little bit of forethought. Use shaped ice cube trays to make different colored ice cubes before the party. Freeze Kool-Aid to get the different colors and add a sweet bonus to everyone’s drinks as the ice melts. You can also freeze different colored fruit juices or add food coloring to the water.

Using some LEGO cake toppers is a great way to turn any cake into an edible LEGO work of art. But whether you keep it simple or go with something custom, finish off the look with some fun brick-shaped candles. They look fantastic on top of this winking brickhead and really stand out against the bright yellow. They can double as decorations and toppers, too, giving you some flexibility when you’re planning your overall cake display.

Your daughter’s LEGO party might lean more toward the LEGO Friends series (or it might not). But if the Friends gang is what your kid’s party is all about, then style your cake after the unique LEGO figures and series. Cakes Decor makes a tall layered cake and uses edible sugar paper to show the friends and then decorates with molded LEGO bricks all over the cake. It’s a fun cake with lots of colors that work well with this pastel LEGO palette.

This huge 3D LEGO brick from Oakmont Bakery serves up a lot of cake in a way that is simple but undeniably LEGO. The best part is you can make it any color you want to go with your overall party scheme. The birthday message here is on the cake platter, but you could also add a cake topper or put the name on the side of the cake. But this subtle display works. Therefore, it’s all about your own personal style and how you think it will fit in best with your child’s party.

Ninjago is one of the most popular LEGO series, with a huge line of LEGO sets and its own cartoon. If your child wants their party to focus on the world of Ninjago, check out this cake idea from Skazka Cakes. It’s colorful and bright, which is sure to make everyone smile. And the characters on top complete the overall look. The birthday star’s name on the front resembles the LEGO logo, and molded bricks on the cake plate add just the right finishing detail.

Cupcakes are always a crowd-pleaser, so a pull-apart cake is a win-win. Easy to serve, and everyone loves to eat it. Cake Central makes a simple but amazing pull-apart cake in classic LEGO colors. The piping work positions various LEGO bricks atop the cake, along with a birthday message. If you’re making your own cake, you could also spread on frosting and use LEGOs as toppers or position the cupcakes into a rectangle and make one giant brick.
