Creative Ideas for Goody Bags and Party Favors

Once you have settled on a theme for a child’s birthday, you’ll want to start assembling your decorations and party favors. Party hats and themed paper plates and cups are important, but the favors are the things that kids remember most because they get to take them home. Make your goody bags memorable by keeping with the theme of your party.

Visit your local party store or shop online for low cost favors to give your young guests. If you want to get creative, find easy projects at a craft supply store and have the youngsters make some of their own take home party mementos. Polaroid pictures of guests playing fun party games can be paired with inexpensive homemade or store-bought frames for a wonderful keepsake from the birthday party. Theme parties lend themselves well to integrating great favors in the goody bags.

Make It and Take It Crafts

To combine a birthday party activity and a favor to take home, inexpensive craft projects are ideal. Make sure you have plenty of supplies and enough space for the kids to make their party projects. Smocks or aprons are a good idea if the project is messy and kids are dressed up in party clothes. Projects involving glue sticks and crayons are favored over paste and paint for this reason. Make the craft project favor easy for the invited age group, and personalized for your child’s birthday party, and tons of fun will be in store.

Party hats are another easy birthday craft project for kids parties. Cut a template from a store-bought hat out of heavy construction paper, and allow the kids to color and decorate their own hat. For lasting memories, make sure you get pictures of all of these artistic endeavors before the partygoers leave.
