1. Find an awesome place to host your themed party on Peerspace

First things first, an awesome party needs an awesome venue. But if your home looks something like a construction area, we can help you out. At Peerspace, we’re home to tons of cool party and event venues in cities all across the country — including spacious backyards, playgrounds, cool houses, and more. Give it a try early on in party planning because your venue can help you knock the theme out of the park. 

As an example, our parents in the Los Angeles, CA area may want to book this indoor and outdoor preschool space in Silver Lake. It is nearly 9,000 square feet and includes classrooms tailored to your child’s age, two playgrounds, and plenty of seating for kids and parents alike. Imagine all the fun your little one and their friends will have here!

Check out this helpful review from a parent who threw their own kid’s birthday party here…twice! “I’ve booked this space for my son’s first and second birthday parties and both were great. Gabriel is so helpful. The booking was smooth and my many questions were answered promptly. The guests kept commenting on the lovely space and, most importantly, the kids had a great time.”

2. Head to the backyard for an activity-filled construction birthday

Sometimes, the best way to let kids blow off steam is to send them outside. So why not take your construction party to the backyard? If you want to wow your little one with a cool setting, a backyard rental space courtesy of Peerspace can help you elevate their party.

One of our very favorites is this mid-century modern kids playhouse and playground in Hallandale Beach, FL that is tailor-made for kids’ parties. It’s a 500-square-foot backyard with artificial turf, an adorable mid-century styled playhouse, and a playground with swings, a sand pit with kids’ construction tools(!), and a mini rock climbing wall. It’s definitely a well-constructed and thoughtful space for any little kids’ birthday party, but especially perfect for your construction theme. And speaking of sand boxes…

3. Play in the sand 

Have you ever built a sand castle just to knock it down? Come on, that’s fun even for grown-ups. Let your child construct their own sand creations by providing a sandbox at your party. 

Some Peerspace playgrounds come with sand pits included, so you don’t have to cart one in the car. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live in a super creative city, you could host at a Peerspace venue with a sandy backyard, like the one at this gorgeous multi-set mansion in south Atlanta, GA. It is a super stylish and welcoming home that both parents and kids alike will love, thanks to its amenities, including a 30′ backyard sand pit for the little ones to enjoy!

Does your kid prefer playing in mud over sand? Then they may also prefer our Peppa Pig party ideas!

4. Gather your little one’s friends and head to the playground 

Playgrounds are universal kid-approved birthday party venues. But if your local park is too crowded, you can book a private playground for the afternoon on Peerspace.

This private playground in San Francisco, CA, provides a colorful place for your little builder to play with their friends, along with spots for grown-ups to supervise the worksite progress. We love how it has indoor and outdoor play spaces, meaning a rainy day doesn’t have to wash away the fun! Which brings us to our next party suggestion…

5. Play inside with plenty of fun and interactive toys

Playing outside isn’t always an option if your little one’s birthday happens in a colder month. If that’s the case, try taking the party inside to an indoor play space. Check out this adorable indoor playhouse, complete with tons of play equipment and kid-sized tables and chairs. Just throw in some toy bulldozers and cranes, and you’ve got one of the best awesome construction birthday party ideas for winter!

6. Let them play foreman of the kitchen and build your own burgers 

With all that running around and play-building, your little one is going to get hungry. So why not keep the theme going by constructing your own food? 

Burgers make awesome buildable party food since everyone can choose their own toppings and build a tasty masterpiece. Other cool buildable foods include pizza, kebabs, or sandwiches. If you need grilling space, a Peerspace backyard with a grill can help you do the job. One neat option is this blue house with a green door outdoor party space in LA. It not only has a grill and outdoor lounge seating, but lawn games, a pool, outdoor movie equipment, and so much more to make this birthday a total blast.

7. Construct your own sweets in a beautiful kitchen space

Savory food isn’t the only thing you can construct. While you’re building your own burgers, why not DIY the party treats, too? 

Try baking up some sugar cookies or cupcakes and allowing party guests to customize their treats with frosting and sprinkles. If you want them nice and fresh, try baking them at the party with the help of a tricked-out kitchen rental courtesy of Peerspace. For example, our friends in the Washington, D.C. area may want to check out this bright modern row house with a luxury kitchen.

8. Treat your kid to a visit to a construction equipment junkyard 

Heavy machinery is a massive thrill to little ones obsessed with construction. So why not visit some real-life construction vehicles out in the wild? This 70s muscle car graveyard 100-acre salvage yard in Graham, TX is home to tons of large machinery, including muscle cars, construction equipment, and plenty of large trucks for your little one to explore with you by their side.

9. Hang out in an industrial building near you

While real construction sites pose an occupational hazard to your little builder, you can get the same vibe by hosting at an unfinished industrial space. The exposed walls provide an “under construction” vibe that can help you sell the party’s theme. Your little one will feel like they’re actually on a construction site and get to use their imaginations for the day. 

Our sweet “Sesame Street” party ideas are the perfect mix of fun and learning. Check them out!

10. Make construction arts and crafts 

Creativity is at the heart of construction. After all, you’re making something new out of nothing. Try channeling your child’s artistic spirit with construction-themed arts and crafts, like a construction paper bulldozer or a cardboard steam roller. If you need a space for your little builder’s works in progress, a Peerspace workshop studio can help inspire creativity. 

11. Build in the digital world 

While building physical things is always fun, the digital world is perfect for building, too. 

Grab your favorite game console and some extra remotes, then let your child and their friends build something in their favorite video game. You could build an epic party mansion in Minecraft or construct a special birthday course in Super Mario Maker. With extra remotes and co-op play, anything is possible! 

It’s an awesome construction birthday party idea for remote parties. But you can elevate an in-person gathering with at a gaming lounge like this one in Rahway, NJ.

12. Play their favorite construction cartoons in a cool setting

If construction cartoons capture your little one’s imagination, we’ve got an awesome construction birthday party idea for you. Just let them watch cartoons with their friends! It’s fun, relaxing, and ideal for indoor birthday parties. 

If you want to upgrade the watch party, look for Peerspace venues with screening rooms, like this spot in Chelsea, NYC. When your little one sees Bob the Builder on a massive screen, their mind will be blown.
