Coloring Books and Crayons
-
Most kids enjoy coloring. Coloring books catered to young kids have larger coloring areas, thicker outlines and less intricate designs. When purchasing coloring books as party favors, it's a good idea to get several different versions so that the children can choose a book that appeals to them. Examples of themed coloring books include princesses, cars, animals and animated movie characters. You may also want to purchase a small box of crayons to give to each guest with his book.
Hula Hoops
-
Hula hoops are fun for kids of all ages. If your guests are very young, look for hoops that are smaller than standard size. Buy hoops in various colors so that each child has a color she is happy with, or buy one color for the boys and one for the girls. Not only will hula hoops provide your party guests with hours of fun, but the size of them alone is also enough to excite most youngsters.

Kites
-
Kites are another party favor that can bring hours of fun. Although advanced kites can be quite expensive, you can purchase basic kites for young children from most dollar stores or discount stores. Many styles of kites are available, so look for one that is unisex, buy several types and let the kids choose their own.
Sweets
-
Sweets are almost always a no-fail favor among kids of all ages. If you are having an outdoor party on a summer day, consider giving the kids individually wrapped ice cream cones as they leave. Or, if you are having a carnival-themed birthday party, a bag of cotton candy or caramel popcorn is sure to be a hit. Other ideas for sweets include chocolate bars, Pez dispensers, jumbo lollipops and novelty candies, such as gummies shaped like french fries or chocolate eggs with toys inside.
