Party Ideas - Thomas and Friends Cardboard Photo Booth


Create a unique photo booth for your upcoming Train themed party, using nothing but a few large boxes, some tape, paint, some balloons, and a little time. You little Engineer will love posing for photos with their friends in this just-for-them-sized train.


Make just the engine car, or grab a couple extra boxes and make passenger cars, too!



What you'll need:
  • 2 - 3 extra-large cardboard boxes (large appliance boxes are best)
  • 2 - 3 smaller boxes (optional if you're making passenger cars, too)
  • Duct tape
  • Double-sided tape
  • Black poster board
  • Craft paint in assorted color
  • Paint brushes
  • Scissors or craft knife
  • Three small black paper or plastic plates for each car (you can also just cut these out of some extra cardboard)
  • Red and blue wrapping paper
  • White balloons (optional)
  • Thomas face printable

Here's the step-by-step instructions from PBS Parents.

Make a free-standing photo booth:


Or, you can even attach the boxes to a kids' wagon, and make a ride-on!

Welcome to our Newest Entertainer: Jacob

This week has been action-packed, as I've been busy doing lots of training with our newest entertainer, Jacob. He's shaping up to be amazing!

Jacob is based in the San Jose area, and is going to play a lot of new characters to add to Fire Pixie's repertoire.  He's working on characterizations for Cowboy Woody and Batman, in addition to doing characters we already offer in other areas, like Race car drivers and Train engineers and Safari Steve.  He's also going to complete our Scooby Gang - we finally have a Fred!!!

He is learning new skills with the greatest of ease, and is going to be a rockstar balloon twister within the week!  He is gregarious and funny, and very excited about kids and about parties and about life in general.. you guys are going to LOVE him.

Welcome Jacob!
