52 Kids Party Favors (That Are Not Junk)

Kelly R. said:  These blasters are tons of fun as water toys in the summer, and are some of the best party favors for kids after a pool party!

Kelly R. said:  Hand mini flashlights out for a sleepover or outdoor movie night party and the kids can use them right away! We bought this multi-pack of LED flashlights...the colors are great and they are really inexpensive birthday party favors for kids.

Kelly R. said:  Maze and activity books are good kids party favors that are not junk! This will let them enjoy some quiet time after they get home, and come in all sorts of options to go along with your party theme.

Lisa R said:  I reluctantly recommend these 2-3" keychain squishies only because my 7 year old says it was the best thing she ever got in a gift bag and gave them out at her own party and to friends on her bus. They are cheap, scented and work as a fidget toy. I'm not so sure about the non-toxic claims, so likely best for bigger kids who still like cute things.

Lisa R said:  These mini-writing tablets are still in regular use 6 months after my daughter's last birthday. They're the perfect size for carrying along in the car or tossing in a play purse. My daughter particularly likes that she can lock the screen and save her drawings and lists for later. At $1-$3 each, they're reasonably priced for throwing into a gift bag.

Kelly R. said:  Give each child a few mini packets of Model Magic for fun arts and crafts party favors that aren't junk! The material is easy to work with and can be reused or air-dried to create a permanent keepsake.

Amy S. said:  A party favor that can do double duty as a party activity! LEGO DOTS bracelets are fun and easy to make, and each kid gets to “design” their own by selecting and arranging the “DOTS” (colorful LEGO tiles) in patterns—or not! They’re probably best for slightly older kids with good fine motor skills (the pieces are TINY). The best part is how easy it is to rearrange and change up the design. I’d buy extra tiles for more creative possibilities, and then let kids choose some more to bring home with them.

Kelly R. said:  Buy a multi-pack of kid-friendly nail polish and send each child home with their own personal bottle for unique party favors that are not junk!

Kelly R. said:  

Remember this fun book series? Choose the character that best fits each of the party attendees, and send them home with their own book. Here's hoping Mr. Birthday didn't invite Mr. Rude or Little Miss Naughty.

Kristy Pepping said:  Silly Putty is a classic, fun party favor for kids that is sure to entertain guests for weeks after your celebration!

Kelly R. said:  If Pokémon is popular among your kid's friends, packs of Pokémon cards are the best party favors. Leave a little extra time at the end of the party for trading!

Joseph Kelley said:  What a fun twist on standard crayons! Each set comes prepackaged with two colors.

Kelly R. said:  These little suncatchers hang in a bright window and throw little rainbows all around the room. They make the best kids party favors for a rainbow themed party!

Kelly R. said:  These doodle pads have a compact size that makes them perfect useful party favors, and great for taking on the go. Pair a pad with a set of crayons or divide up a pack of gel pens depending on the age of the kids.

Erin P. said:  Our son went to a birthday party recently where he got play-doh cans as a party favor! This was a big hit with him!
