- Make your train out of old big boxes paint on wheels and numbers on your “box” cars
- Hang a Thomas Happy Birthday Banner
- Create a train track on your floor with painters tape
- If you are artistic draw a Train Engine smoke stack and have the words “Happy Birthday” coming out like smoke

Ask your guests to come dress as a real engineers. They can wear their Engineer Hat and stripped overalls. Or they can come dressed as Thomas The Tank, or even a hobo equipped with a hobo bag and bandana.
Use sidewalk chalk on your driveway and make a train track leading up to your house. Stand in your “Ticket booth” and use a hole punch as you receive the tickets as your guests arrive. Ask the children wrap their gifts in brown parcel paper and then place them under a “Baggage Claim” sign. If possible go on a real train ride!
