Top Ten List of Kids Party Favors
Kids love presents therefore it goes without saying that kids party favors are a party favorite! Kids expect a favor at the end of the party!! Party favors should not be expensive, there's no need as kids just love getting a gift.
Party favors also serve as a great way to thank your guests for attending and show them that you appreciate them. Find below our Top 10 party favor suggestions for a kids party.
1) Favor Boxes
Kids party favor boxes are a big hit. When throwing a theme party these favor boxes are convenient, cute, match your theme and are lots of fun. Kids love them and they have something left to remind them of the party. We suggest adding candy to the favor boxes if they don't come with candy. Although Kids love and expect a few toys they feel the same way about candy in their favor box. That's why it's called a Goodie Bag!! Check out these fun party favor boxes!

2) One Big Favor
Give 1 unique kids party favor. Give something more unique and probably a little more expensive then the average party favor. Since you are only giving 1 favor, the cost of the 1 favor should equal the cost of several smaller favors. Kids love being surprised and when they get a unique party favor it's a big hit! I usually add a small bag of candy along with the favor. Again kids expect a sweet treat!
Some fun ideas would be a real Barbie doll at a barbie party or a wooden Thomas the Train at your train party. Maybe a Disney Cars DVD at your cars party. These are all gifts that cost more than your average 2 or 3 dollar favor, but remember you're only buying 1 favor per child. The kids will be surprised to get such a fabulous gift. And check out Ebay when doing a bigger gift. Often you can find new toys for less than the store.
3) Craft Creations
Craft party favor! Have the kids make their own party favor with a craft activity. This is a great idea, because not only do the kids get a great party favor this also doubles as a party activity!
4) Coupons
It's been our experience that kids absolutely love when they get food coupons. We often give McDonalds, Dairy Queen or Baskin Robbins coupons. They love when they get a coupon for a free ice cream cone or kids meal and usually can't wait to get to the restaurant to use it! It's fun for them to actually give the coupon to the cashier as well and every kid wants an ice cream cone!
5) A food favor!
Kids love sweet treats. A fun favor for kids are treats such as cookies, brownies, cupcakes or any treat you can imagine. We often make an activity out of this favor by baking the treats ahead of time, but leaving the decorating for the kids. Provide the toppings such as sprinkles, frosting, candy, writing gel and allow the kids to personalize their treat.
6) Activity Books
Kids love activity books. This is an easy and popular party favor. Give an activity book favor bag with a variety of activity books. Coloring books, Mad Libs, sticker books and mazes work well to name a few. Be sure to also add a pack of crayons or crazy pencils (depending on the age).
7) Chocolate Lollipop Characters
Lollipop characters! Make chocolate lollipops using chocolate molds that match your theme such as Mickey Mouse mold for a Disney party or an animal mold for a Jungle party. Funny enough children love to eat characters they are familiar with. They love chocolate lollipops to begin with, but are even more enamored when the lollipop looks like Nemo! Package the lollipops in cellophane and tie with a ribbon and your done!
8) Personalized Candy Labels
Personalized candy labels are available on-line. The labels typically fit Hershey Bars. They are personalized however you specify. You can purchase labels with the birthday child's name, age, and party date. Or you can personalize them to your party theme. For example, if you're throwing a baseball party then put the birthday child's information to appear as baseball stats on the candy wrapper!
9) Music CD
This kids party favor is something that can be created and duplicated at home for little expense. Create a CD of kid’s songs or for an older party popular music. You can create the CD and make duplicates on your home computer!
10) Traditional Kids Party Favors
Fill a goodie bag with the traditional fun stuff. Kids are comfortable with the familiar so traditional kids party favors are sure to be a hit. Fill a goodie bag with small cars, bubbles, play doh, small balls, yo-yos, erasers, candy, animal crackers, to name a few. And check out a few others that are not quite as traditional but close. Kids will love these!
