Construction birthday snack ideas

I was asked to bring a veggie tray for a little boy's birthday party with a construction theme. I searched Pinterest hoping to find something and was shocked when I couldn't! I came up with this design on my own. The black dishes used for tires later were filled with veggie dip at the party. Pumpernickel bread was sliced up and represented dirt in the dump truck. Baby carrots, yellow bell pepper, broccoli and cauliflower made up the rest of the truck. Everyone loved it!

I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. I really do enjoy it. But man, can it suck up a lot of time (that I don't have!)...and it creates in me a sort of lust for things that I don't need. But it sure does make party planning easier! About 4 months ago, my friend Lindsey told me about this birthday party she had just attended that was a construction theme. She thought it would be perfect for Jadon. My initial reaction was ambivalent. It sounded cute, but I didn't want to just copy…
