Monster Truck Birthday Party
Hi there!
I need some monster truck themed ideas for my child's birthday party. This kinda got sprung on me at the last minute and I am in a tizzy trying to think of things to go with the theme! Can you help me? Please?

You could make monster truck name tags for each child. You could play pin the tires on the truck(like pin the tail on the donkey). You could also make a monster truck pinata(there are lots of tutorials for pinata making online). For the cake you could buy a small monster truck, attach a Happy Birthday sign on the front,sprinkle crushed Oreos along a path on top of the cake(his favorite homemade cake will do just fine) and then make tire tracks over the "dirt". You could place the candles between the tire tracks leading up to the truck or place them all around the truck if the child is older and needs more candles. Give each child a cheap plastic truck, provide lots of stickers and let each child decorate his or her own truck and name it. You could then give out prizes for the most unique, prettiest, wackiest, best name etc(make enough categories that each child gets a prize.) You could give monster truck pencils or other dollar store trinkets as prizes. If the party runs til dark you could put glow sticks on the wheels of two monster trucks and pair off the children and let each pair have a turn at racing them down a ramp in the dark. The other kids will love watching until it is their turn! I hope some of this helps!Happy birthday to the lucky little guy whose Mom loves him so much that she is willing to pull this together at the last minute! You are one great Mom!

Monster trucks... Mmm. Think cars? Like engines and wheels and monster truck colours (red, black.. ferrari yellow). dirt/gravel? Like an arena feel? Maybe a 3D monster truck cake, make the whole thing like a monster truck arena thing?

I dunno how old your kid is... but here's some ideas...
Tire Cake - Just a round cake with white icing, and then you cut out black fondant in the shape of a tire, lay on top... maybe use some white icing for lettering.
Dollar Store Trucks - they're cheap, but work for parties... everyone gets a truck... they can crash them.
Get A Bunch of Boxes.... ones big enough for your kids and his friends to wear... spray paint them loud colors.... greens, blues... yellows... and then let them decorate the rest and they can BE their favorite monster trucks...
Dirt - it's a dessert item great for kids. Here's a recipe... you can put little plastic trucks in everyone's bowl.

Half the fun of monster trucks is that they crush other cars... If you got some cheap plastic cards, and some larger, better made trucks, you can crush cars with it.
Throw in non-truck things that kids just like, too... If it's warm enough, a water balloon fight always goes over well.... random games.... make up a version of tag that relates to monster trucks... like... they're frozen until another truck runs them over, which could mean that you have to hug someone unfreeze them... they'll fill in the blanks themselves...
Don't stress. Kid parties are easy. You just make it up as you go along and they'll remember they had fun.
