All the stuff that as parents we hate, but bless her, she was delighted with it and has carried it around all day. It was was a generic party bag given out by the soft play place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-aged-birthday-parties-favors#post-2570250 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 13:50:53 +0000 caterw 2570250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love when people give small favors that are edible or disposable (special themed cookie, bubbles, stickers, etc). My daughter thinks everything her friends give her is a special treasure and her junk basket is filling up quickly. For her pumpkin patch birthday last year, I did a homemade pumpkin sugar cookie and the kids painted mini jack o lanterns to take home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-aged-birthday-parties-favors#post-2570220 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 10:04:35 +0000 Myicitygirl 2570220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was the first year I gave favors, and I wanted to give something that both kids and parents would appreciate. I gave each kid a Little Golden Book (either Cars or Toy Story - there were a LOT of siblings) and a mini metal character box (like a tin lunch box) from Party City. I planned this favor, but got lucky and found everything on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-aged-birthday-parties-favors#post-2570181 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 06:44:27 +0000 Smurfette 2570181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate all the little crap she gets, which is too much. Yesterday she got a Pez dispenser which isn't a lot but just enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-aged-birthday-parties-favors#post-2570148 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 21:52:30 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2570148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For F's 3rd birthday we had a "cars &amp; trucks" theme and we gave each kid a jeep truck from the dollar store with a balloon attached, lollipop, 1 starburst, small stickers, &amp; tattoo. We've been to a few parties recently with no favors and I liked not toting a bunch of junk home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-aged-birthday-parties-favors#post-2570138 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 21:22:41 +0000 hummusgirl 2570138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a pinata filled with candy and toys (mini play doh, tattoos, stickers from Target).
