Australia Day Celebration Ideas

So I am off on holidays soon and will be gone all of January, so thought I would jump in early and write up a little Australia Day post for you all, as it will be here before we know it!  

Be it beach, BBQ, cricket, fireworks, family & friends  ~ Australia Day 26 January is a day where we can celebrate our wonderful country and how lucky we are to live here.  

What are some of the things you love about Australia ?  I love the flag, love the Aussie accent and the slang that only Aussies understand and I love the kangaroo road signs (dorky thing to love but its just home!).

So keeping in the Aussie spirit, here are a few yummy food ideas, decorations and crafts perfect for your Aussie Day celebrations!

Lego Party Ideas

Lego is a classic toy that has been entertaining kids for generations. Nowadays Lego goes well beyond just being a box of blocks and is available in a wide range of themes perfect for boys and girls of all ages.  With so many themes available or even just sticking to the more traditional Lego look, it makes for a great kids party theme with lots of fun and creative ideas for food and decorations.

Check out these Lego biscuits, effective & super easy to make!  All you have to do is purchase some rectangle biscuits, ice them & add smarties or M & M's to make these cute Lego blocks.  Great for the kids to help with too! 

How cute are these ?  Little Lego head favours, made from old baby food jars, a bit of spray paint and a black texta.  Then simply fill with treats for your guests or to display at your party.  To see how to DIY, head to the obSEUSSED blog for instructions.  (How cute are the Lego faces the children have drawn? in their blog post - too precious!)  Another great way to get the kids involved in the party planning.

Cake pops are always a hit at parties & these cool Lego cake pops would be no exception. Easy to follow recipe available at Living Locurto blog (be sure to check out Amy's Lego party while you are there for more fun ideas)

Party Printables are an awesome and affordable way to tie your theme into your party table.  These fun printables by Crackers Art are one of my faves.  To see the range available & to find out how to order head over to the Crackers Art Etsy Store. 

I love this idea, write the birthday child's name with Lego.  By Ah - Tissue via Kara's Party Ideas.
