I'm making a prize box for my girls, and I'm trying to think of items that are less than $5 (preferably $1-$3), that I can fill the box with. I don't want random junk though, so far I've thought of:
Play-doh
Fun lip balms
Stickers
Blind bags
I would love to hear some more ideas!

Matchbox cars, probably Shopkins if you put them in individually, glow bracelets, colouring books. How old are they? Would they understand something like a coupon for a cupcake or ice cream?

Crayons or markers, glow necklaces/bracelets, erasers, little notepads. Basically I'd hit up Target's dollar spot if you have one near you!

I know you don't want random junk, so not sure if you're ok with dollar store items....but MIL recently got my girls some ponies that look like classic My Little Ponies at dollar tree, and I have bought sticker mosaic kits as well as big books of Frozen and other glitter stickers from there.

There are a lot of things under $5 on amazon if you search! Or even at Party City they have a whole section just for that. Things I can think of on top of my head are:
tattoos
rubber stamps (24 count in a box)
mini rubber duckies
bubbles
activity books
You can even get mini books on sale at barnes and nobles stores for under $5.

I just got a pack of flashcards tonight at Michael's for $2, they had a bunch of different little things for $2-3. Hotwheels, bubbles. There is a dollar store near me that has great little toys. Also look for things that are a pack and you can break down, like farm animals, dinosaurs etc.

Pencils, erasers, tooth brushes
Maybe a package of floss (or really anything in a ziploc bag?) with a sticker of their favorite character on it? Haha.

Curious george single story books
sticker sheets
glitter glue
character socks and underwear
character toothbrush
dinsoaur folding comb

coloring books, $1 books from Target, character stuff from Target dollar aisle (my girls love the magic marker books they have that it's one marker that changes color on the paper), Melissa & Doug Water Wows are a hit right now too. They also like the Sticker Face books.
