52 Kids Party Favors (That Are Not Junk)

Kelly R.:  Of all the kids party favors we've given out over the years, these were the biggest hit! The themes for these LEGO packs change, so there's always a new version to hand out, and kids love to open them and discover a surprise minifigure.

Kristy Pepping:  My daughter recently attended a party and received one of these for a party favor. These little flower pots are solar powered. They sway back and fourth when in the sun. It makes a nice addition to a bedroom window sill.

Kelly R.:  

My son loved these little books of jokes for kids around 1st or 2nd grade. The best party favors from the kid who likes to make everyone laugh.

Kelly R.:  Fresh boxes of sidewalk chalk are fun birthday party favors for a spring or summer party.

Erin P.:  Little kids love doodling on these little activity pads! They are clean, easy to use and great for in the car. The best part is, they are reusable!

Kelly R.:  Send the little partygoers home with their very own crime fighting disguise, perfect for open-ended play. Just make sure to snap a picture of the group wearing their party favors first! The variety of colors in this set is great for allowing kids to pick their favorite.

Kelly R.:  Ditch the typical goodie bag ideas and treat guests to something sweet with a gift card that will cover a cone from your child's favorite ice cream shop.

Kelly R.:  A kid can never have too many bubbles (to spill all over the driveway). Even generously-sized bottles of bubbles are still affordable enough to give as party favors for kids. This is our favorite bubble brand, with high quality suds and a multi-bubble wand that lives up to its name.

Kelly R.:  I love Happy Socks for their fun patterns, loud colors, and great sales that make them quite affordable to give as kids party favors. They were a big hit with both boys and girls when I gave them out at one of my kids' birthdays.

Brittany Kozielski:  Tutus are such fun party favor ideas for kids at princess, dance or even pop star parties. Purchasing them can be fairly inexpensive, or you can make them yourself out of tulle. You can even invite guests to make their own tutus during the party - DIY favors that double as party activities are a great, budget-friendly birthday party idea!

Kelly R.:  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.

Kelly R.:  Art supplies are some of the best party favors for kids because they get enjoyed and used up, and who doesn't love dipping into a brand new tray of watercolors?

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

Kelly R.:  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.:  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.
