Construction Birthday Party Food Ideas
To make everyday food fun, create food signs that look like road signs to identify each food to coincide with your theme. We've got truckloads of construction food ideas to help you create a construction birthday party or a Bob the Builder party that is sure to be dynamite!
Roadside Munchies - Serve chips, nuts, goldfish, pretzels, cookies, chicken nuggets, or french fries in the back of new, clean toy dump trucks, clean unused paint roller trays, upside down hard hats, or new paint cans.
Spackle & Wood Chips Serve onion dip with Sun Chips.
Red Paint, Green Paint, & Paint Chips - Salsa, guacamole, and potato chips.
Bulldozer Burgers & Dynamite Dogs - BBQ hamburgers and hotdogs for your little construction crew.
Build Your Own Sandwich - Lay out various breads, cheeses, spreads, lettuce, condiments, etc. and let your little workers "build" their own sandwiches. You might consider cutting your bread into fourths, this way they can each build a few sandwiches.
Construction Crew Lunch - Make chicken or tuna salad sandwiches, or PB&J. Using cookie cutters, cut them into the shape of trucks and tools. Pack them inside of a brown paper bag. Add a bag of chips, an apple, and a juice box.
Big Wheel Sandwiches - Split English muffins in half and place on a cookie sheet. Spread a layer of canned baked beans on the muffins. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Cut hotdogs into thirds and then cut each third into four lengthwise pieces. Lay six pieces of hotdog on each muffin to create the wheel spokes. Bake at 375 Degrees for 10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
"Lumber Fries - Cook fries according to package directions and them stack them up into various piles like you would lumber.
Bolts & Screws Salad - Make your favorite pasta salad recipe using corkscrew-shaped pasta (the screws). Add raisins and chopped walnuts as your bolts.
Carpenter Pencils - Carrot sticks.
Logs - Pretzel sticks.
Orange Cones - Buggle Chips or candy corn.
Construction Chug-A-Lug - Serve orange and yellow Gatorade, Kool-Aid, or Juice.
Dynamite Punch - Make any kind of punch that you like and serve it up in individual cups. Then add Pop Rocks candies to each cup. The carbon dioxide in these candies will cause the punch to start to crackle, pop, and spit as soon as it comes in contact with the punch.
Bob The Builder Sugar Cookies - Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe. Using construction-shaped cookie cutters, cut dough into truck and tool shapes. Cover with orange or yellow icing and decorate with any combination of edible glitter, sprinkles, sparking sugar, nonpareils, or cake gel. You can also create road signs by cutting the cookies into squares, triangles, octagons, and diamonds. Then frost them to look like road signs. For example frost them with yellow icing and use black gel to create the writing.
Jell-O Bricks - Make Jell-O in rectangular pan. Add extra envelope of gelatin so it will hold together. When set, cut into squares and let workers build with their squares before eating their handiwork.

Where can I buy small geometric wood or plastic shapes?
I've Googled and can't find what I need. I need:
red, blue, yellow, green, orange, violet
circles, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, octagons.
About 1 centimeter sides or 1/2 inch.
Thanx
First, I'm not sure exactly what sizes you're wanting since "1/2 inch sides" can mean a much bigger octagon than it would be a square.
I think I have seen some "Woodles" though (packages of pre-cut thin wood shapes) in craft stores but not sure of their sizes; they may also have precolored ones.
You may also find small thin shapes like that made from craft foam or from plastic.
Teacher supply stores could have them or something similar too.
Otherwise, you could make the shapes yourself from some kind of clay, probably either an air-dry clay (some of which you can make yourself, or just purchase them) or a polymer clay.
Different brands of air-dry clay may shrink a bit while they're drying though so you'd want to do a test first if you need a very exact finished size.
For any type of clay, you'd just make a thin flat sheet of it, then use various cutters (cookie cutters, kitchen "shape cutters" like aspic/canape or veggie cutters, or the small-to-tiny shape cutters that are sold by Kemper, Amaco, and others, for use with clays--see Cutters link below for those) to cut out as many of the shapes as you needed.
Both air dry clays and polymer clays can be purchased pre-colored, or they can be colored at home by mixing color into them before shaping and hardening (air-dry clays are colored this way with acrylic paints, but polymer clays need artists' oil paints which can be bought in small kits of tubes, or alcohol inks, or very small amounts of acrylic paints).
Or, both types of clay can also be "painted" in the regular way after hardening (acrylics are best for polymer clays).
Air-dry clays will take a day or so to harden by "drying."
Polymer clays will harden in 15 or more minutes after being "cured" in a regular home oven at about 250-275 degrees F (they won't ever harden by "drying").
You can also make your own air-dry clays at home (usually "bread clay" or "salt dough" clay).
Those dried clays will need to be sealed though to protect them from moisture and bugs (polymer clays don't need sealing unless you want).
Google those 2 names of homemade air-dry clays for loads of recipes and info about them.
Btw, "polymer clays" include brands like Premo, Fimo, Kato Polyclay, Cernit, and various Sculpeys (when making *thin* polymer clay items, don't use Sculpey, SuperSculpey or Sculpey III since they'll break with much stress; SuperSculpey-Firm is strong but comes only in gray so you'd need to paint it for colors--using acrylic paint).
If you're interested in doing this with polymer clay, or just want to get some info about using "cutters" and making "cut out" shapes like this, you might want to check out this page at my site:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/cutters-blades.htm
....click at least on *Small & Medium Cutters* ...then click on all the links under that to see all the shapes, kinds, and sizes available (some can even be purchased singly, may be open-back or plunger, etc)
(My website is primarily about polymer clay and all the things one can do with it, but much of the info on cutters and cutting out on that page would be the same for air-dry clays.)
These 3 pages could be helpful too, espeically if you decide to use polymer clay:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/paints.htm (click on *Painting On Top of Clay* and on *Acrylic Paints*)
http://glassattic.com/polymer/color.htm
http://glassattic.com/polymer/pastamachines.htm (click on *Don't Have a Pasta Machine? How to Make Flat Sheets Anyway*)
