How to Throw a Pinewood Derby Birthday Party A Pinewood Derby birthday party is a creative way to keep kids entertained and engaged for hours, and it’s easier than ever to put together. Below, we break down exactly why it’s an excellent option for your upcoming celebration, everything you’ll need from our derby party packs to a detailed party checklist, and how to pull off a gathering that’s as thrilling as it is memorable. Why a Derby Race Makes a Great Birthday Party Getting kids away from their screens and into their creativity is no easy feat. Rallying everyone together in the spirit of racing guarantees hours of entertainment as your party guests build, decorate, and test their creations in head-to-head heats. The theme of a kids derby car party puts STEM skills to great use and revs the imagination from start to finish. And regardless of the awards given at the end, everyone will come away from the experience feeling proud of the hard work that went into their creation. Derby Cars for Kids: Brick Derby™ or Pinewood Derby? As you start planning your derby birthday party, you may wonder which of the two racing types is the best fit between Brick Derby™ and Pinewood Derby. A Brick Derby™ birthday party is a great option for all ages. It’s easy to build a car from bricks you likely already have or you can easily acquire, and there’s no need for potentially dangerous tools like saws and sanders. All you need is our chassis and weights bulk pack as the base, some imagination, and a will to win! A Pinewood Derby-style birthday party is better suited for kids aged 8 and up. They’ll get their creative gears turning as they figure out how to turn a block of pine wood into a first-place racer. Some tools, a little engineering, and creative spirit are needed for this style of racing, and our bulk pack is the perfect place to start. Pick a Party Pack by Headcount Once all the RSVPs for the party are in, you’ll know exactly how many party packs to order. We highly recommend including a few spares into the total headcount in the event of unexpected guests or the need to start a car design over.
