A Hot Wheels Birthday Party

Last month we celebrated my two youngest with a joint hot wheels birthday party, per their request. They turned 3 and 5, and are both obsessed with all things Hot Wheels and race cars. It was fun putting this one together! It was a hot day, but I think everyone enjoyed themselves. If you have a race car loving kiddo, I hope you can get some inspiration to host your own hot wheels birthday party.

The Food

These little “fuel”boxes are just so cute !

The rice krispy treats I made were starting to melt all together it was such a hot day!

the chocolate donuts also melted everywhere

I should have double layered the red fringe behind the table, but I just did not have time to run back out to get more.

We had water, sweet tea, and lemonade in these dispensers. I also had a cooler with olipops and juice boxes. And I am glad I did! It was hot and we flew through beverages.

The Fun

The only game I had planned for this party was a simple obstacle course. The kids had to wear the tire floaty around their waists or necks and go through. I had two relay groups and timed them to see who could go the fastest.

The kids loved decorating their cars with paint pens!

Of course we set up all our Hot Wheels tracks and had a basket of cars to play with.

The Decor

We set up our large party tent for shade in the yard, and I am so glad! It was a hot day. I got balloons from Michael’s and tied them to little hot wheels car, however it was a breezy day, so they kept rolling off the table. Woops!

I got a pack of these cardboard signs and put them all over. I forgot to take photos of the one at the end of our driveway that also had balloons- “Yield for Party” and then on the front door I made a sign that said “welcome racers” and a sign underneath that said “start your engines”. Inside I had a “one way” sign with an arrow pointing to the right to direct guests to the backyard where the party was.
