Toy Story Birthday Party Ideas + Free Printables

I used Woody, Jessie and Bullseye Toy Story toys from when I was a kid, which my girls both play with now. I made the banner using a variety of different colored ribbon.

They’re tied onto a strip of twine to string across the backdrop. I made the “1” from blue felt and a few layers of additional white felt pieces for the clouds.

The red monkeys hanging on the backdrop were cut from glitter paper on my Cricut. Lastly, I made the ‘ONE’ from Paper Mache letters from Hobby Lobby.

I painted them to look like Jessie, Buzz Lightyear and Woody. Overall, I loved the way our Toy Story Birthday Party food table came out.

Toy Story Snack Ideas & Birthday Party Foods

There are so many fun ways to incorporate the Toy Story theme into party food. Themed food is a fun way to make a party really come to life!

Check out these easy Toy Story Party food ideas to make your themed party a hit!

At our Toy Story First Birthday, we served Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets, named “Sarge’s Chicken Nuggets”. I positioned oversized green army men from the Dollar Tree around the platter. There were also some ‘repelling’ down the backdrop for some added character.

Also, we had Hamm’s Ham and Cheese platter, Slinky Dog’s Mac & Cheese (made with spiral pasta) and Mr & Mrs Potato Head’s Potato Chips & Dip.

I created ‘There’s a Snake in My boot’ Jello cups with a gummy worm (or gummy snakes!) and glitter cut out cowboy boots to look like Woody’s boots. These were such a big hit with the little guests! If your kids don’t like Jello you could also use instant chocolate pudding as an alternative.

In addition, I made Alien Marshmallow pops using a water spray bottle and food coloring. Once dry, I added the eyes with a little green frosting and the black mouths with glitter black gel icing.

We also had a make your own pizzas station with a fun sign that said “Pizza Planet” to play into the Toy Story theme. I’ve also seen some moms make a Pizza Planet sticker to put on normal delivery pizza boxes.

Buzz Lightyear Birthday: Out of this World Drink Station

It’s always fun to present the drinks in a creative and themed way. The Toy Story Birthday Party drink station was Buzz Lightyear themed in green and purple.

I made alien eyes for the Green Aliens Punch, made from Mountain Dew, Sprite and Green Hawaiian Punch.

The Alien cups, purchased from the Dollar Tree, had glued on googly small eyes (also from Dollar Tree). We also served Sweet Tea, titled “To Infini-TEA and Beyond”.

Toy Story Birthday Party Photo Props

No party is complete without some fun photos. I created this backdrop with a queen size blue flat sheet and cloud cutouts made from white paper pinned on.

The block letters are made from $0.98 boxes from Walmart. I flipped them inside out before painting them and then free handed the letters.

In addition, I made an Etch-e-Sketch out of a red piece of foam board and two Tubberwear bowls spray painted white. I purchased the Woody cowboy hats from the Dollar Tree.

These photo props were fun for fans of all ages and added a touch of magic to our party.

I added twine woven around the edge and some felt around the crown. Lastly, the Buzz Lightyear piece was the most involved. I made it from a diaper box and painted by hand.

It was so much fun to try on and a huge hit at our Toy Story themed birthday party.

Toy Story 1st Birthday Party Ideas & Cake Smash

It’s not a first birthday without a cake smash. After all our guests finished eating, we removed the food from the table and placed my daughter’s highchair right in the middle so everyone could see.

She loved her cake and it made for super cute pictures.

5 Perfect Party Favors for a Toy Story Birthday Party

Toy Story Themed Goodie Bags

Alien Sipper Cups

Give out adorable green Alien sipper cups filled with candy or small trinkets. These cups are both a fun and functional favor that kids can use long after the party is over. You can find these at party supply stores or online.

DIY “Forky” Craft Kits

Create kits with all the materials needed to make their own Forky, the beloved character from Toy Story 4. Include plastic sporks, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, craft sticks, and modeling clay. This hands-on activity is sure to be a hit and provides a fun keepsake.

Sheriff Badges

Hand out plastic sheriff badges personalized with each child’s name. These can be paired with a small cowboy hat or bandana for a complete Woody-inspired look. Kids will love pretending to be the sheriff of their own town!

3 Fun Toy Story Party Games Your Party Guests Will Love

Pin the Badge on Woody

A Toy Story twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” game. Create a large poster of Woody without his sheriff badge. Give each child a paper badge with double-sided tape on the back. Blindfold the kids one at a time, spin them gently, and have them try to pin the badge on Woody’s chest. The closest badge wins a small prize.

Alien Rescue Toss

Set up a game where kids can “rescue” the little green aliens from Toy Story. Use a small inflatable or plastic pool and fill it with green ball pit balls to represent the aliens. Provide each child with a small bucket or bag. Set a timer for one minute and see how many “aliens” they can scoop up and rescue in that time. The child with the most rescued aliens wins a prize.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Adventure Obstacle Course

Create an obstacle course inspired by Buzz Lightyear’s space adventures. Include activities like crawling through a “space tunnel” (a play tunnel), jumping over “laser beams” (pool noodles), and tossing rings onto “planet” targets (hula hoops). This active game will have kids feeling like they’re part of Buzz’s missions. Offer small prizes for completing the course.

These fun and engaging games will keep the kids entertained and make your Toy Story-themed birthday party a memorable event!
