Favor Ideas for Elementary Age Kids:
- Re-usable Ice Pop Molds, or Personalized Ice Cream Sundae Bowls and Spoons
- Glow- in- the- dark Star Sticker set
- “I Spy” jars- Using a glass jar with a tight fitting lid add rice and various tiny pieces such as a few marbles, a toy soldier, mini animal figurines, buttons, or any other creative mini object you can find. An added option is to color the rice to match your party’s theme – just a few drops of food coloring will color a large bowl of rice. Keep stirring until all of the rice is colored. Attach a tag listing the items to be “spied”.
- A Crayon Cup Cake – Using a cupcake pan lined with aluminum cupcake liners, break several colors of crayons into each cupcake well. Melt on 350 for 10 minutes. Then, turn off heat and allow to cool for 24 hours. Gently peel the aluminum foil baking cups from the crayon to reveal a giant multi-colored crayon cupcake. Wrap individually.
- Painted Pillow Cases – Consider allowing your guests to paint with fabric paint pens as part of Choosing party entertainment. Then, their very own creation becomes their take home favor!
Favor Ideas for Older Elementary Girls:
