Kids' party favors can make a big difference in achieving overall party success.

Children love to receive gifts, and party favors are just enough to send kids home with a smile.

You don't have to buy expensive favors. A personal touch always works best. Use your imagination. Your goal is to have your guests thrilled about attending the party.

It's OK to give favors to children of all ages. Just make sure that favors are alike in appeal, color, and size. Involve the birthday child in selecting appropriate favors for the event.

The "favor bag" has become an important part of birthday celebrations. So it's a good idea to offer favor bags to everyone at the end of the party, as they're going out the door.

Children's Birthday Party Favor Ideas

Mark favors bags with the kids' names. Or wrap identical favor items and place them in a large box or bag for everyone to grab.

As an alternative, place an open decorated box in the middle of the party table as a centerpiece. Put favors inside the box, with a streamer tied to each favor that leads to every child's seating place at the table. Before dinner, tell children to pull their steamers to receive the attached favor.

Toddler Party Favors

Birthday favors for toddlers can include such items as ABC blocks, puzzles, balls, small toys, and so on. Just be sure to make the favors memorable.

Take an instant picture of each guest with a birthday child to take home as a keepsake. You can also staple children's pictures to their favor bags to make it fun for them to find the bags. If you don't have an instant camera, you can use regular digital camera and send the pictures after the party with thank you notes.

Coolest Kids' Party Favors

*Thread whistles with funky colored shoelaces. Children can wear them as necklaces.

*Fill favor bags with animal crackers, sugarless gum, and wrapped candy. Pens, that look and smell like candy, are great, too.

*You can buy pack sets of such items as small cars, clay sets, and other items. Before the party, divide them among the bags. Purchasing favors this way can save you significant amount of time and money.

*Buy modeling clay and place it in individual plastic bags. Use yarn to tie the bags. The kids can make their own creations at the party or take clay home. Add cookie cutters in various shapes for even more fun!

*Other favor items can include coloring or activity books, key chains, puzzles, magnets, miniature cards, plastic games, yo-yos, stickers, novelty erasers, jump ropes, pinwheels, crayons, markers, flashlights, to name a few!
