26 Ideas For A Thrilling Hot Wheels Birthday Party

A piñata is always a fun party game, and it’s also one that’s been around for ages. This classic activity is easy to do; you just fill the piñata, hang it, then let kids take turns trying to bust it open. You can also use a pull-string piñata, which is great if the weather keeps things inside or you’re working with a lot of little kids. A Hot Wheels piñata is a great way to match this party game to your theme, and you can find various options online or in party supply stores.

If your kid’s into Hot Wheels, they might already have this race track set at home. If not, it could make an amazing birthday gift that you can use as a party game. Set it up, hand out a car to every guest, and let the races begin. (You can even let the cars double as party favors). Let the birthday kid launch the cars, and the track will tell you which lane is the winner. If you have lots of guests, hold multiple rounds, with the winners from each round facing off until you have one grand champion.

Give the classic bean bag toss game a Hot Wheels twist using inflatable tires like Party Loves. Or use the real thing if you have some old tires hanging around (you could even paint them if you want the colorful look shown here). Label each tire with various point scores depending on how far away they are from the toss line. Let kids take turns throwing a ball or bean bag and keep track of the points so you can name a winner.

When you plan a kid’s party, it’s a wise idea to have a couple of activity stations set up that can be flexible and ongoing throughout the party. Kids can visit these areas when they’re in between your main attractions or waiting for a turn, etc. A craft or art station is a popular option, and it also helps keep things calmer than if everyone was simply running around aimlessly. These race car stickers allow kids to design their own vehicles using an assortment of different decals. You could also provide pre printed car outlines and various arts and crafts supplies for kids to use to design their vehicles.

Spaceships and Laser Beams also sets up an art station that enables kids to create their own car frames using actual toy cars. This is a great way to recycle all of those old Hot Wheels you have lying around that your kid doesn’t want anymore. You can also find cheap cars at the dollar store, thrift stores, or ask around to friends and family for any vehicles to spare. You can get the frames at craft stores or also check out thrift shops. Set everything out on a covered table with some glue and let kids choose their cars and start creating.

Me and B Make Tea serves some tasty sandwiches to guests to help keep them satisfied and in the party mood. But these aren’t just any ordinary finger sandwiches. They’re mini race cars, and they’re just as delicious as they are cute. Plus, as a bonus, kids also get to eat some veggies. Make sandwiches of your choice, cut them into rectangles, and use a couple of toothpicks through the bottom to add the wheels. You can use cucumber or carrot slices, tomato slices, etc.

Rice Krispy treats are a super popular kid’s snack, and they’re ooey-gooey and yummy as can be. They’re also really easy to make, so it’s a great way to whip up a favorite snack and save some money. Catch My Party turns simple Rice Krispy treats into traffic lights using M&Ms to match the car theme. Another option is to use a car-shaped cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes for your treats.

A healthy snack option is always a welcome sight on your party’s food table. Renee’s Soirees jazzes up a fruit platter by using apple slices and grapes to create tiny fruit race cars. Kids will get a kick out of how these tasty snacks look and won’t be able to resist eating them. To make this snack even more amazing, serve the fruity cars on a platter that resembles a race track and mix in some toy Hot Wheels cars.

Chocolate-covered pretzels are a trendy and delicious party snack that blends sweet and salty flavors into one tasty snack. They’re also a snap to match any theme because you can simply use different colored chocolate melts to make your sweet coating. Kara’s Party Ideas takes it one step further with molded chocolate cars in the Hot Wheels colors. You can find chocolate molds at party supply stores in the baking aisle, so with one slight adjustment, you can create an awesome snack.

An easy way to create a beverage to match your party theme is to go with the right color. You can always whip up a punch that matches your main party hue. Or simply use a colorful drink like Kool-Aid for the same effect. But if you’d rather not have brightly colored beverages at a kid’s party (we get it, stains) go with water bottles. They’re easy, everyone can stay hydrated, and you don’t need any cups. Then use Hot Wheels bottle wrap stickers to instantly match a basic bottle to your party theme.

It doesn’t matter if you go with a huge, custom creation or a simple DIY cake…when you use a themed cake topper you can instantly transform your birthday cake into one that matches your party vibe.
