A little late, but I am cleaning up my photos on my computer so I thought I would post for ideas.
The kids' cake was crumbled chocolate cake w/ pudding to look like dirt. We served it in individual dump trucks. Nick's candles were tools. The adult cake, in the big truck, was a trifle.

Party favors were tool belts. The kids also got construction hats and the truck their cake was in. Probably spent $4 per child.

I used extra construction hats as bowls for things like chips and decorated with construction cones throughout.
