Vintage Train Party on a Budget – The Train!

I’ve been doing a series of posts on the shoe string budget party I threw for my son and a few of his friends using Janelle‘s new vintage train collection. (Here and here.) The cardboard train had to be the next post for sure. It was such a hit! I was inspired by the cardboard-themed first birthday I featured a while ago. (After I had the idea, I also found this amazing cardboard train.) As you can probably guess, this train was dismantled in quick order and the kids had lots of fun in and on the boxes.

I love that Syd started hoarding her stuff in a box so the other kids wouldn’t get it!
