The Best Educational Party Favors for Kids
It may seem like a bit of an oxymoron but educational party favors for kids are a great way to make learning fun. And while it may seem like a challenging task to come up with educational party favors, with a little creativity and ingenuity, it’s easier than you think! From books to thought-provoking craft projects, here is an overview of the best educational party favors for kids.
- Books – One of the best educational party favors out there, books are perfect for any type of kid’s party, regardless of the theme or ages of the guests. Choose a fun children’s book that fits in with the party theme and hand out to guests as they leave; it makes for a great keepsake that will serve as a fun reminder of the party. Plus, children’s paperback books are very affordable.
- Mini Globes – Perfect for “around the world” or explorer themed parties, small globes (inflatable or otherwise) make great party favors; they can spark a child’s interest in geography or other countries and they are something that guests are likely to keep for a long time to come.
- Word Games – Word games like crossword puzzles or Sudoku are a great way for older children to have a challenging yet fun mental workout. Word game booklets are cheap and can be found at most stores that sell games and toys.
- Craft Kits – Foster imagination and growth with small craft kits each guest can take home with them. For instance, if you are throwing a little girl’s princess party, send each guest home with their own tiara decorating kit. Or if you are having a garden tea party, make small plant kits that include a small potting plant, seeds, and potting soil for each guest.
- Puzzles – Puzzles are great for kids of all ages because they promote logical and analytical thinking and problem solving and can help them better comprehend the concept of shapes. Look for simple peg puzzles for younger children and more complex jigsaw puzzles for older kids.
- Alphabet Stickers – Appropriate for the preschool age set, alphabet stickers can help little ones betters learn their letters and many younger children really enjoy stickers.
No matter what kind of party you are throwing, education party favors are sure to be a hit with the kids and their parents!
