Balloons
Let’s face it, kids love balloons. So, what better way to spruce up centerpieces at a kids birthday party. The containers were crafted from interlocking foam pieces filled with shredded paper. Also, consider marking the party zone with balloons hanging in the main party area or tying a bouquet to the mailbox.

Create a beautiful backdrop behind your birthday table with a Cars banner. This banner is made with high quality thick cardstock paper and glitter cardstock. Images are printed out with a last printer and of really good quality.
Lightning McQueen
When Lightning McQueen races in with the cutlery, kids notice. Wrapping utensils is a decorative way to dress up needed party supplies. Pre-party assembly makes this a race winning idea.
Table Setting
These tables are covered with red and yellow tablecloths with black and white checkered paper used as chargers for each pit crew member. The Disney Cars birthday party plates, cups, and napkins zoomed in to finish the tables. Race ready and waiting for little racers.
Traffic Lights
A coffee can makes a unique container, especially when you use it to take advantage of the theme. These repurposed coffee cans make impressive traffic lights with a little paint, decorative trim, and tissue paper. Perfect for the diy, green-decorating enthusiast.
Checkered Flag
A checkered flag is so important and catches the attention of racers and fans alike. This tabletop makes the most of it, with a checkered table runner and centerpieces with the checkers flying high. Including candy as part of the decoration is a sweet thing to do.
Candy Buffet
Disney Cars birthday candy buffet is the perfect way to let kids create their own party favors. It is not every day that a child is faced with yummy candies and the freedom to fill a bag to their liking.
This candy buffet was our opportunity to go all out with the theme. Even though candy is appealing on its own, a touch of the checkered print scattered throughout tied it all together.
Cars Birthday Cake
Use the Disney Cars edible icing cake toppers to decorate your own cake. This topper is ready to use and comes with instructions. Alternatively, create your child’s cake with the Disney Cars Lightning cake pan. Easy-to-follow decorating instructions are included.
Surround the cake with amazing decorative pieces because it is the star. From the race cars around the track to the checkered pennant banner affixed to the table, everything about this cake presentation is a visual feast.
The more creatively you present your cake, the more it will be recognized. This checkered flag-covered birthday cake was set on top of a little box. A simple way for drawing attention to the cake.
Cupcakes
Go the extra mile with homemade cupcakes decorated in the Disney Cars birthday party theme. Short on time? Serve red and yellow cupcakes with sprinkles to coordinate with the theme.
Sweet Treats
Gummy bears, rock candy, M&Ms, Pixy Stix, red candy sticks, yellow candy sticks, and pre-packaged Cars candy were used in our buffet, but any colorful candies will work. Scoops were provided for easy serving and clear plastic bags brought it all home.
Kids will run right through these traffic lights. Simply, prepare rice cereal mixture, cut, and add red, yellow, and green candies for a fast Disney Cars birthday snack.
Fruit Kabobs
Fruit kabobs in the shape of traffic lights rapidly alter children’s perceptions of a nutritious snack. Colorful, delectable melon balls in red, yellow, and green adorn the skewers. Because children tend to eat less when they are excited, a small snack is an excellent choice.

Tire toss
Easy to assemble and suited for all ages. Using an inflatable or used tire, each member of the pit crew tries to toss bean bags into the target. Award prizes for the best aim.
Racing game
Faster than fast, quicker than quick, create a race track from a pool noodle. With the drop of the green flag, guests roll cars down the noodle to the finish line. What better activity for a Disney Cars birthday party.
Stoplight toss
This fun game allows party guests to test their throwing skills while also learning colors. Call out the color and guests attempt to toss bean bags to the corresponding color.
Water Bottle Labels
Drenched with the theme. Checkered duct tape adds a customized look to water bottles that is simple and inexpensive to do. The bright red tub is a practical way to keep the drinks cold.
Cars Lollipop
This lollipop arrangement was displayed on either side of the tall, large container. A circle of checkered cardstock was attached to the front of each lollipop and a Cars 2 sticker applied.
Curly yellow ribbon was the finishing touch. The lollipops were then placed into a margarita glass that contained a ball of Styrofoam covered with red shredded paper.
Trophy Favors
And the trophy goes to. . .everyone. At the end of your party race, it’s time to celebrate the victory with party favors. Shiny trophies filled with treats are the perfect reward for winning guests.
Cars Favor Bags
Shoot! Favor bags compliments of the world’s best backwards driver. Tow Mater favor bags are an easy diy project or a fun crafting activity for kids. Plan early in the party, so that the decorations have time to dry, ready to go home filled with treats.
Checkered Bean Bags
The bean bags were made from black and white checkered fabric. This was done by cutting two 5-inch squares for each bag. With right sides together, stitch the sides leaving an opening to fill the bag.
Turn the bag right side out gently pushing out the corners. Using a funnel, fill with corn or dried beans. Close the opening and your bean bag is game ready.
Cars Coloring Pages
Keep kids entertained with a coloring station. Print out free coloring pages and allow children to use their colorful imaginations with this fun activity.
Prepare a kid friendly space. A table that is the right height, covered in butcher block or craft paper, with plenty of supplies that are easily accessible works best. When it’s clean up time, you will be glad you did.
Cookie Decorating
Why buy a Cars-themed cake when you can let the party guests decorate their own sugary snacks?! Sugar cookie or cupcake decorating would be a great way to get the kids’ artistic juices flowing and let them show off their creativity.
Head to the kitchen, bake away, and have kids vote for their favorite Cars-themed cupcake/cookie. And as a bonus, they can eat them as soon as they’re done.
Cars Wrap Paper
Love the idea of wrapping gifts to match the Disney Cars birthday theme. Customizing makes the wrapping as special as the gift itself. Here, red wrapping paper with familiar Lightning McQueen features and flashing yellow lightning bolts make a thrilling package. That’s a wrap.
