2. Fidget toys:

Kids love fidget toys. This seemed to start with the introduction of fidget spinners a few years ago, and now there are many fidget toys out there that are hugely popular with kids.

The fidget spinner, for those that are not familiar, is a small handheld toy. It grew in popularity due to its mesmerising spinning motion and the ability to perform various tricks and stunts. Kids love the endless possibilities for entertainment with fidget toys. Here are some of the other popular fidget toys that you could fill your bags with:

  • Fidget cube
  • Stress ball
  • Pop Fidget toy
  • Slime 

3. Stationery:

Kids love having their own stationery, so why not include some party-themed items in the party bags? Consider filling your party bags with notebooks, pencils, erasers, or even mini pencil pots. These items will make them feel special and can spark their creativity.

The Little Things is a lovely online shop, that has a great range of themed stationery to fill those party bags.

4. Mini Games and toys:

Another great option to keep kids engaged is to include little games or toys. The toy option can easily fit into lots of different birthday party themes. For example you can easily fill your bag with; dinosaur toys, little fairy toys, superheroes, pirate toys, and more. There are toys available online for every theme you can think of.

Look for affordable versions of classic games like Uno, Connect Four, or Guess Who. These games will provide hours of entertainment even after the party ends. Party Packs offers a great range of games to choose from.

5. Sweet Treats:

In addition to toys and crafts, consider including small servings of treats. These can be a little chocolate and also a healthy snack as well. You can buy fun-size packs of chocolates at most supermarkets, so buy a few packets and pop a chocolate treat in each bag.

For a healthy option, choose options such as mini fruit pouches, granola bars, or small packs of raisins. This way, you can ensure that the party favours are not only fun but also promote healthy habits.

One thing to think about when packing your party bags is to choose items that are also age-appropriate and safe for children.

By getting creative with party bag fillers, you can ensure that each child leaves the party with a smile on their face and a little keepsake to cherish.
