Homemade Party Favors
If you are creating your own homemade party favors have no worries they can be easy too! You will need a bag or box to put the favors in. We recommend the empty train boxes as the kids really enjoy those. Then simply find items that you think the kids will like, which is rather simple. You could pack them with train sounding treats of your own with a bag of Toot-sie rolls or Toot-sie pops, some bubble gum for a choo-choo (chew-chew) treat, or a train car box of animal crackers. Cookies, cupcakes, and fruit snacks are always a hit with younger children, too.
For non-edible options, you can find trains on just about anything, including stickers, pencils, pencil toppers, erasers, blowouts, mini train books, train whistle, folders, books, and even a conductors hat!
Remember, the most important thing is to plan ahead with your party favors whether you're buying a pre-made kit or making them yourself. You don't want to get stuck in a situation where you're at Walmart picking out party favors for a party the next day. We recommend planning a ways in advance and make it a project for you and the birthday boy or girl.
