HERE IS HOW I MADE THE SWEET AND SNACK STATION FOR THE THOMAS THE TRAIN BIRTHDAY PARTY

I bought 8 boxes clearanced at 90% off of $5.00 for $0.50 from Target during the Christmas clearance, so all 8 boxes cost me $4.00! I made 2 trains out of the 8 boxes. The first train was the 'Snack Station' and the second train was the 'Sweet Station'. I had pretzels and chips in the 'Snack Station' and cake pops in the 'Sweet Station'. 

Snack Station

I cut out wheels of black construction paper and used a permanent marker to draw the wheels and used glue to glue on the wheels. I cut a black line across the wheels and glued that on.

I placed the snack train on the main table where the other food was to be placed and filled them with pretzels and chips. I added green and red chocolate chips that I sorted from Christmas chocolate chips cleaeranced at Target for under $0.30 in tins to snack on. I also added blue and red mini candy canes clearanced for $0.20 a box. The table cloth was given to be from a lady I met at Target who happened to have left over Thomas the train decorations! Sometimes being friendly pays off! I put the silverware in red solo cups and put Thomas the Train stickers on them. I used one of my sons Thomas the Train trains to look like it was pulling the train. Underneath the table I put the gift giveaway bags.  (click the link to find out how to make them:)

SWEET STATION

I had 2 different sizes of cake pop sticks. My 11 year old son helped me drill holes in the bottom of 4 of the boxes. We made sure the sticks would fit snugly. I bought a cake pop maker clearanced at Target from $40 to $20 and made my own cake pops. I had bought 3 clearanced cake pop decorating kits at 90% off for $0.99 each! It was chocolate cake pops dipped in white chocolate frosting. YUM!

I added the Sweet Station sign using construction paper and a permanent marker, and I cut out the Thomas from a Birthday card he got from his friend Courtney in the mail!

I placed the cake pops on the mantel so the parents could give one to their kids:)
