Decorations

Mark the party location by hanging balloons around the front of your home.

Use chalk to draw tracks up to your front door.

Tape a sign saying, “Welcome to the Island of Sodor” to your front door.

Tape homemade signs (Railroad Crossing, Kids Crossing, Stop Sign, Light Signal, Knapford Station, and Cake Time & Departure) around the party area.

Cover the party table with a Thomas the Tank Engine table cover and ensure each place setting has a Thomas the Tank Engine plate, napkin, cup and utensils.

Alternatively, cover your party table with a white sheet and create train tracks down the center of the party table using black streamers. Place small train toys on the tracks and attach balloons to the toys for added décor.

Place a Thomas the Tank Engine stadium cup at the head of the table to mark the birthday child's spot.

Add a Thomas the Tank Engine toy to the table as a centerpiece.

Hang balloons in bunches for best effect by tying a colorful ribbon around the strings of several balloons, so they hang together. Try blue, yellow, and red.

Attach streamers to a light fixture in the center of the party table to add to the festive environment. Create multicolor streamers by placing two different colored streamers back-to-back and twisting (try blue and red).
