DIY Toy Story Décor
“Yeehaw, Budget-Friendly and Beautiful!”
The good news? You don’t have to be a professional party planner or spend a small fortune to create jaw-dropping Toy Story decorations! With a little DIY magic and creativity, you can transform any space into a scene straight out of Andy’s room or the Wild West of Woody’s imagination. Let’s dive into some fun, budget-friendly decor ideas that’ll have your guests wondering if you secretly hired Pixar themselves!
Woody’s Western Wonderland
To create a Woody’s Western Wonderland, all you need are a few DIY touches like cardboard cacti, cowboy hats, and sheriff stars. You can even set up a “Wanted” poster station where guests can make their own wanted signs—who’s the most mischievous cowboy or cowgirl at the party?
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Station
For all the Buzz Lightyear fans out there, let’s take this party to infinity—and beyond! Imagine a dazzling Space Station corner that transports guests right into Star Command! Start with metallic silver and purple balloons to give the area a cosmic, futuristic feel. Scatter glow sticks around to create that awesome “glow” effect (plus, they double as fun party favors). Hang DIY planets and stars from the ceiling—get creative with Styrofoam balls painted to look like Saturn, Jupiter, and distant galaxies. It’s like the solar system came to party!
Now, no Buzz-inspired space station would be complete without some alien fun. Cut out oversized “alien eyes” from green construction paper and place them around the room or on balloons for that unmistakable Toy Story “ooooh!” vibe. Even consider adding a cardboard “rocket” for a photo op that will have kids ready to blast off into the stars! Toss in some inflatable planets and maybe even a “Welcome to Star Command” sign to make it official.
Create Your Own Sheriff Badges
“A Craft That Doubles as a Party Favor”
What’s a birthday party without some fun, interactive crafts? The best part is that these crafts can double as activities during the party AND party favors for your guests to take home. Talk about hitting two targets with one slingshot! Let’s start with something simple but iconic—Sheriff badges! Get some cardstock, markers, and safety pins, and let the kids design their very own sheriff badge. They’ll love showing off their new titles as they join Woody’s Roundup.
Or, if you’re ready to take the alien fun to the next level, set up a DIY headband station where little guests can craft their own alien headgear! Grab some green pipe cleaners, headbands, and googly eyes galore—within minutes, each kid will transform into a Little Green Man from Pizza Planet! They can twist and shape the pipe cleaners into “antennae” and glue on those adorable googly eyes for the ultimate Toy Story-inspired look.
Woody’s Classic Cowboy Cake
“Simple, Sweet, and Satisfying”
No birthday party is complete without a cake that wows the crowd, and a Toy Story cake is sure to be the talk of the party! Whether you opt for a simple DIY design or go all out with a bakery masterpiece, these cake ideas will leave your little sheriff or space ranger wide-eyed with delight.
Woody’s Cowboy Cake: Simple Yet Sweet
For a cake that screams “Woody’s Roundup,” you can go the rustic route with a simple two-tier cake featuring red plaid fondant or frosting. Top it off with a little cowboy hat or sheriff’s badge, and you’ve got yourself a charming cowboy cake. Want to get even more creative? Add some toy figures like Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye to the top of the cake for a playful touch!
This cake is perfect for DIY bakers who want to try their hand at decorating. You can even make a cowboy boot cake by shaping your cake into the form of a boot and using brown icing to give it that authentic cowboy vibe.
If you’re going for a space theme, a Buzz Lightyear cake is a must. You can have the cake decorated like Buzz’s iconic spacesuit, complete with all the green, purple, and white details that kids instantly recognize. Another fun idea is to make the cake look like the Pizza Planet logo or the little green aliens—so cute, and so on-theme!
If you’re not much of a baker, don’t worry! Simply bake a basic cake (or grab one from the store), and decorate it with Toy Story-themed cake toppers, which can easily be found online or at party stores. This way, you can still have a cake that fits the theme without the stress of baking something elaborate. Now that we’ve got the cake planned, let’s move on to some party game/activity to get the little ones super excited.
Toy Story Themed Party Game/Activity
A Toy Story-themed coloring page session is a fantastic, easy-to-set-up activity that lets kids unleash their creativity while enjoying all their favorite characters from the Toy Story universe. Imagine a table covered in crayons, markers, and colored pencils, surrounded by adorable little artists hard at work bringing Buzz, Woody, and the whole gang to life! You can print out free Toy Story coloring pages that feature classic scenes, fun character poses, and iconic Toy Story elements like the claw machine aliens and Mr. Potato Head. Set up a mini “artist studio” with everything they need, and watch as the kids dive into a world of color and imagination!

For added fun, create a “Coloring Contest” twist where kids can show off their masterpieces. You could award small prizes for categories like “Most Colorful” or “Best Buzz Lightyear,” and even hand out mini ribbons or stickers to each participant to celebrate their efforts. This not only keeps the activity fun and engaging but also encourages them to interact with each other. Kids love a bit of friendly competition, and parents will adore seeing their little ones proudly display their artwork.
