If you’re looking for a fun birthday  party for your kids that involves something a little different, you might want to consider a Loblaws Cooking Party. Loblaws Upstairs (in many locations) has cooking classes and the community coordinators may also put on parties for kids.

How Much Does a Loblaws Birthday Party Cost?

As of early 2011, the price for Loblaws kids cooking parties is $18/child + HST.  Most stores want a minimum of 12 children.

What’s Included in a Loblaws Birthday Cooking Party?

In the price of the pizza cooking party, you get:

-Healthy Snacks (fruit and veggie/dip trays)

-Juice

-Mini Pizza for each child (each child makes their own pizza) (There are other food options as well, such as a Mexican themed birthday party)

-Large birthday cake (you can upgrade to a character / theme  cake if you want to pay extra)

-8″ cake for each child to decorate and take home

-Invitations

The Loblaws community coordinator and assistant(s) prep everything, instruct the kids, run the party, and clean up all the mess.

Our Loblaws Birthday Party Review of Our Experience:

We had 18 kids and they had a great time. The birthday boy (now 7!) was thrilled. The  pizzas were good (lots of toppings) and the coordinators made a few extras for the adults that stuck around to share, the 8″ cakes that the kids also got to decorate to take home were a hit, and everyone looked cute in their paper chef hats and their fabric aprons. The loot bags that are listed as available for $5.99 each weren’t available due to apron sourcing issues so we did our own. Two hours seemed a bit short as present time was rushed but all in all it was a great success and I highly recommend it. For just under $400 we had the place, the food, the cake, the invites, the fun, the cleanup, and because there were 3 Loblaws staff members on hand we didn’t have to worry about doing much of anything other than meet and greet, some potty breaks, and handing out loot bags. I definitely recommend these Loblaws birthday parties.
