Lego party favors

Take a box of 72 crayons, which likely costs less than $3.00 to purchase, and make it into 36 Lego shaped crayons that you can use to fill your goody bags for your Lego themed party!

Lego Molds

I’ve shared before how to make your own crayons using your favorite mold and broken crayon pieces. It is a great way to recycle, but they also make excellent gifts. It is something your children can help you do and it is so much fun to see what amazing color combinations and masterpieces you can come up with.

Each individual Lego mold holds two whole crayons when broken into pieces. You can find the LEGO molds on Amazon.

Lego Crayon Creations

From left to right these are the masterpieces we made. Purple Mountain Majesty/Periwinkle, Melon/Apricot, Dandelion/Yellow, and Sky Blue/Sea Green. The Sky Blue and Sea Green combo reminded me of a globe. Loved it!

These earth-toned crayons turned out great. The older kids at the party really like them. (from left to right) Plum/Pacific Blue, Asparagus/Olive Green, Cadet Blue/Golden Rod, and Tumbleweed/Brown.

Even though some may think Lego’s are more boyish, you can totally make them in girly colors! I really loved these! Timberwolf/Carnation Pink, Green Yellow/Yellow Green (who knew), Wisteria/Mauvelous and my favorite of them all is Robin Egg Blue/Tickle Me Pink.

These were fun, too! Crayola names have come so far and it makes creating even more fun! Mac & Cheese/Granny Smith Apple, Burnt Orange/Scarlett, and Black/Orange (perfect for Halloween!).

Lego Crayon Party Favors

To package these Lego crayons up, just place them in a small size cellophane treat bag that you can buy in mass quantity at your local craft store. Use 4×6 pieces of card stock and print them up with a fun saying. I just Google Lego sayings and came up with:

Build It.

Play On.

Imagine in color….

Then, fold the card stock in half, cut to adjust if needed, and staple to your crayon filled cellophane bags.

You can also download a Lego font here, if you would like.

Partner the crayons with a fun, free, printable Lego sheet, and you have an inexpensive party favor that matches your theme perfectly!

What color combinations will you make?

I am sharing this fun idea on these crafty and resourceful sites.

Looking for Lego party favors?

Are these not amazing? These Lego juice boxes are going in the goody bags for the twins’ party next weekend.

Best part, as I say all the time, they are super simple to make.

You will need:

rectangular or square juice boxes (different brands are different ï»¿heights and sizes)
assorted colors of construction paper
double sided tape
pencil
scissors
small foamy self adhesive craft dots
circle template (I am using an “O” cookie cutter)

Measure and cut down your construction paper to a size that will cover the juice box in length.

Begin to wrap the box as the picture below illustrates.

Place a piece of double sided tape on the underside of the construction paper and adhere it to the juice box.

Continue to wrap the box in the construction paper and seal it off with another piece of double sided tape as the picture below shows.

Next, using your construction paper scraps, make small circles for the top of the juice box.

I used the inside circle of a letter “O” cookie cutter, but you could also use the inside circle from your tape dispenser depending on it’s size. Just test it out.

You could also buy a circle punch from the craft store that is adequately sized for this project. I just did not want to spend the money on it.

Cut out your little circles.

Place one foamy, self adhesive, craft dot in the center of each little circle. These will help give a 3D feel to the party favors.

For the shorter and fatter juice boxes (like Minute Maid) you will need 6 circles. For the skinnier and taller juice boxes (like Target brand) you will need 8 circles.

Place the circles on top of the juice boxes spacing them out to resemble a Lego.
