Keep the little ones entertained with a free play area filled with cars and trucks. You can also set up a cardboard box decorating station where guests can transform their boxes into their own personalized cars or trucks. Take pictures of the little ones “driving” their cardboard cars and trucks. You can also give rides on a ride-on car or truck for added fun.
Cars and Trucks Birthday Party Foods
Keep the food simple and kid-friendly by serving sandwiches, pizza, pretzels, cookies, and fruit. For dessert, consider decorating a cake with a racetrack and toy cars or create a figure 8 race cake. Alternatively, you can decorate cupcakes with toy cars for a fun and easy treat.
Cars and Trucks Birthday Party Favors
Send your guests home with a small token of appreciation by giving them an inexpensive toy car or truck as a party favor. You can also include some fun and playful stickers or temporary tattoos to go along with the vehicles.

What are some game ideas for a Cars and Trucks themed party?
Here are our favourite 3 ideas for party games you can play at a cars and trucks themed party:
- Car and Truck Races – Set up a race track using cardboard boxes or other materials and have the kids race their toy cars or trucks. You can also have relay races where kids pass a toy car or truck to their teammates and the first team to finish wins.
- Car and Truck Scavenger Hunt – Hide small toy cars and trucks around the party area and have the kids go on a scavenger hunt to find them. You can also hide clues that lead to the location of the next car or truck.
- Pin the License Plate on the Car – Similar to Pin the Tail on the Donkey, have a poster of a car without a license plate and give each child a paper license plate with their name on it. Blindfold each child and spin them around a few times before they try to pin the license plate on the car. The child who pins their license plate closest to the correct spot wins a prize.
