Race Car Party Theme - The Pit Stop

Gather up all those toy cars that are all over the house, and group them together on tabletops. A toy racetrack and small cars make an excellent centerpiece. Make and hang signs that say things like "Race Day - Start your Engines!"or Curves ahead. Make a start line at your front door, and a finish line at the food table. Make a sign for your yard or front door that reads "Welcome Race Fans!" Hang black and white checkered flags around the party room. Cut out pictures of popular drivers from racing magazines, mount them on construction paper, and hang them around the party room.
