As workers arrive, give them each a construction hard hat with their name written on it in black and some Bob The Builder Stickers to decorate the hat.

Give workers each an orange vest made from plastic tablecloths and black electrical tape.

Give workers a name badge as they arrive and add titles like "Dump Truck Driver," "Cement Truck Driver," "Bob The Builder Site Supervisor," etc.

BOB THE BUILDER BIRTHDAY PARTY DECORATIONS

Lay a great foundation for your Bob the Builder birthday party using some of the following ideas:

• Put a construction zone yard sign in your front yard to alert guests of your party's location.

• Place orange consturction cones or colorful construction cones along your walkway.

• Line your walkway with some fun construction caution party tape.

• Make some construction yard signs out of yellow poster board, attach to stake, and insert in ground. They can read: "CAUTION! BIRTHDAY AHEAD", "CAUTION! WORK ZONE. KIDS AT PLAY", "RESTRICTED! BIRTHDAY WORKERS ONLY." In the alternative, you could buy some construction party signs that will look like the real deal.

• Create a "canopy" at your entryway by loosely attaching orange, yellow, and/or blue streamers to center of the ceiling and at the tops of the two walls while making loops which create canopy effect. Allow each streamer to go to floor.

• Decorate ceilings with twisted streamers and clusters of balloons with curling ribbons in orange, yellow and/or blue.

• Decorate your archways and/or doorways using the Construction Caution Tape for your guests to pass through when going from room to room.

• Tie blue, yellow, and orange helium balloons to your guests' chairs. Tie Bob the Builder mylar balloons to the birthday child's chair.

• Cover tables with blue, yellow, orange, or Bob the Builder tablecloth and tie corners with caution tape.

• Scatter brown sugar and beans on tabletop to serve as dirt and rocks. Create centerpiece with small Bob the Builder toys, trucks, bulldozers, and tractors.

• Create traffic signs for walls. "Children at Work", "Yield", "Caution", "Construction Zone", "Work Zone", "Hazard", "Danger", "Hard Hat Area", "No Admittance", etc.

• Decorate walls and front door with oversized tools, Bob the Builder posters, and blueprints.

• Use clean, unused paint cans to hold snack foods.

• Add traffic lights to create construction zone atmosphere.

• Post "Keep Out" signs anywhere you don't want people to go into.

• Add a personalized Bob the Builder Birthday Banner on your wall for your birthday foreman.

• To make extra-special memory, put "Big Digger" bulldozer in yard. It will be the neon light that tells everyone where the party is. Also, each child can climb aboard and have a picture taken, to be sent with thank you's!

• Put red, yellow, and blue latex balloons outside to alert guests of party location. Attach to mailbox, hang from tree, or tie to car antenna.
