Food:
Fuel up with with some Root Beer Floats Make these fun Cake Roll Cars. Stick 2 pretzels into the side of a cake roll. Add mini marshmallows for the wheels and m&m candies for the lights.
Cake: Here’s a change from cupcakes to donuts. These are Donut Tire Cakes, these won’t taste like rubber!
Games:
Racing Cars – Set up this paper tube race car track to race 2 toy cars. See this Race Car Track post for details.
Race Car Obstacle – I found a swimming inner tube at the dollar store that looks just like a large black tire. Have the child hold this around their waist or even roll it on the ground like a tire. Set up an obstacle course with a jump and orange cones, and a mini spray bottle car wash that they have to run through while holding their tire.
Time to Wash the Car – Get all the toy bikes and cars out on the lawn for a good washing. We used water guns and these Water Sponge Toys to scrub them down.
Shaving Cream Cars – This is an easy table time activity. Squirt a quarter size of shaving cream onto the table in front of each child. Give them one or two cars to cruise around in the shaving cream with. You can use a table cloth, dinner mats, or just right on top of your table.
Party Time Filler: Put together a 20 minute clip showing some Monster Truck action or even some footage from a Nascar race. You could even show some of the Disney movie, Cars.
