Best Birthday Favors to Give
When it comes time to finally end your child’s birthday party, the final step is handing out the birthday favors. As small thank-you’s to the children who came to share the celebration with your child, the party favors are every attendees favorite part of the day. Find some interesting and innovative birthday party favors for your child’s birthday party and leave the kids on a happy note!
Think organic and safe treats for the kids. Why wire them up on sugar when you can give them all-natural honey sticks shaped like bears or if you have younger children, Winnie-the-Pooh? If you have older children, give them a treat that will fascinate them with lollipops surrounding a bug like a worm or grasshopper.
Look for mini treasure trove boxes that you can fill with favors that fit the theme of the party – or just have healthy or delicious treats inside. If you have a jungle party, fill the boxes with animal crackers. For a princess party, you can fill it with plastic beaded necklaces and feathers (age appropriate, of course). For a fire engine themed party, you can find small plastic squirt-guns shaped like fire trucks and stickers to fill in the treasure trove box. Kids love a treasure hunt and having the birthday favors in this box will be an instant hit.
Why not encourage reading with your children’s friends? Every parent should be reading to their child each night and a new book is always cause for excitement. You can find the same book that matches the theme of your party to give out as party favors, which are an excellent way to keep everybody happy – and reading!
Bubbles are another fun way to get kids outside and having a good time long after the party is over. The trickiest thing about bubbles is keeping the lids on the bottles until the children are outside, but after that, these favors can be an inexpensive and fun addition to any party favors bag.
Finally, inspire their creative sides by giving Color Wonder coloring books and markers instead of cheap plastic toys and the usual candy. With these coloring books, they can’t mark on the carpet and can spend hours dreaming up new creations from their imagination to the page. Parents will love the practical gifts that keep their children happy and busy for hours.
Think outside the usual birthday favors to give your children’s friends an exciting and practical toy that will get both their imaginations and brains moving long after the fun-filled party is over!
