1. Lego party invitations, £6.06 (6-pack)

Kick the LEGO theme off way before the party itself with these coloured brick invites. They're made from good quality card, come with envelopes and can be personalised with all the party info - all you need to do is add the name of the guests.

2. Lego Silicone Moulds, £2.80

If you're planning to create a homemade cake for your child's LEGO-themed party, these silicone ice cube moulds are easy to use for cake toppers. This set currently comes with a free 1m LEGO ribbon.

To make the toppers, melt white chocolate mixed with some drops of food colouring, pour into the moulds and leave to set. The soft moulds make it simple to push out the different coloured minifigures to decorate your cupcakes.

You can also use the moulds to make jelly bricks. The jelly pops out really easily and makes a tempting party dessert.

4. Lego Ninja Pinata, £14.99

If your child LOVED the LEGO movie, or has a real soft spot for the LEGO Ninjago characters in particular, they'll love these pinatas, which come in a choice of white, black, red or green.

Note the pinata comes empty so you'll need to fill it with your own choice of sweet treats, and a stick isn't provided - though hopefully you'll have something suitable to use at home.

(Do make sure there's an adult around when the kids are playing this game!)
