Fun Toddler Party Favors For Their Special Day

Toddler Party Favors are FUN. When you are planning "goodie bags" for a toddler party the favors are going to be a little different. Smaller toys and trinkets are not good for smaller children. You really have to be wise when filling these bags or boxes. It can be rather easy. You can get creative and have fun with it. I am going to give you some examples of some great part favors!! Remember too, that you don't always have to fill a traditional treat bag. Substitute sand buckets or baskets and you're sure to have some happy toddlers!

Ten Great Toddler Party Favors



Coloring Books and Crayons

All toddlers love to color. You can even try and find coloring books that match the theme of the party. Tape a box of crayons on the book and they are ready to go. This is easy and will work out well for children of all ages. This is especially good if you are going to have younger and older children in attendance.


Balls

Sometimes you can get a really good deal on buying balls by the lot. I am referring to the bigger beach balls. Again, you may be pleasantly surprised and find balls to match the theme of your party. These are great for the Summer birthdays. Both boys and girls love to play with balls.



Bubbles

Now my toddler LOOOOOVES bubbles, he always has. A good choice for a party favor was of course bubbles. These are a great inexpensive party favor. You can pick them up cheap at a dollar store in packs of 4 or 5.Another option is that you can get some personalized bubbles to match your party theme. You can even get them with your child's name on them. Check out E-bay for some great deals on personalized bubbles. These toddler party favors are really great!!


Sand Buckets and shovels!!

These are great because the bucket actually becomes the treat bag. You can fill the bucket with candies and treats. The best part is that when they are done they can play with the bucket. They'll love it!!



Books

I think this would make an awesome party favor. You are giving the gift of reading. You may have to really shop around to get a good deal but you will be pleasantly surprised how cheap you can get away with this toddler party favor. Check out local Dollar stores or even online. This is one favor that Moms and Dads will appreciate as well.



Big Lollipops


This was a really cool one. For my son's 3rd birthday the party theme was Mickey Mouse. I found these huge carnival whirly lollipops for 88 cents a piece. I had personalized tags printed off with Mickey Mouse's picture on them and it said Thank You for Coming To my Party. These were such a hit!! The kids were so excited to get there hands on those lollipops. I do not recommend these toddler party favors for younger toddlers. It turned out to be very inexpensive too which was great for me!!



Personalized Candy Bars

These are another cute one too. You can have the wrappers custom made with your theme and child's name on them. You can check on E-bay because they run some really good deals on these. You buy the wrappers and then you can buy candy bars and you're all set. It really is that easy. It can get a little pricey so be careful and make sure you shop around for the best price. I think every child at every age loves chocolate!



Bath Tub Toys

You can bet that any bath tub toys toddlers will enjoy. My son loves the tub and all children get excited to have something new to play with in the tubby. You can buy packs of assorted bath toys and save on money!!! These toddler party favors are good for both girls and boys.



Alphabet Blocks


You can find packages of alphabet blocks cheap at your local dollar store. I am all for the educational toys. These fall right into that category perfectly!! Toddlers will have fun with this party favor.



Sippy Cups or Straws

They can drink out of their own cup and get to take it home with them to keep. I saw some really cute Mickey Mouse cups when I had my son's party. You can get them custom made to have each name on the cup. You can also try and find great cups to match your party theme. Easy Clean Up too!

Great "FILLERS" for the Goodie Bags or boxes



Stickers. You can buy packs of stickers and place a sheet in each treat bag. You can also save on money by cutting the sheets in half and getting more for your buck!!


Crackers. These are a plus especially for the smaller toddlers who cannot eat some of the candy.


Cookies. Another great idea for the smaller toddlers. You can get great deals on multi-packs of cookies. Toddlers especially like the animal crackers!


Fruit snacks. These toddler party favors are the ones kids really enjoy. You have to fruit snacks in your treat bags. They are a HIT!


Candy. Remember to be age appropriate when you are shopping for candy. No jawbreakers, or fireballs or anything that may be a potential choking hazard. Be very careful when buying the candy for the bags. Especially if there are going to be smaller babies there.

* Special Hint * Another option is that you can make separate bags for the little ones. Stuff their treat bags with their own age appropriate toys and snacks.

So there you have it, my list of TEN great toddler party favors. Plus a list of some great fillers for any goodie bag. I love planning toddler birthday parties and I hope you enjoy it as well. It can be hectic to plan a party but remember why you love to do it. Just to see how happy your child will be on their special day is a gift in itself.

Special Needs Children learn language development and social skills in play

From experience I know that development and educational toys are not enough just to help a child with special needs. But you can easily help your child learn through play. For example, toys can help overcome language delay or sensory contact bubble toys to overcome the restraint of a child with autism spectrum.

Learning to play

The children want to play most of their learning through to have children with special needs immediately disadvantaged ifplay their skills are compromised. Children on the autistic spectrum often lack a natural interest in the game and need extra help to learn to play. The limited social skills in autistic children and some other children with special needs to accept it difficult for them, social interaction during the game.

As a parent of a child with severe language delay and a child with autism, I knew the importance of the game and was primarily based awareness of the value of play in language development.However, I immediately knew I had to learn to play. Only the presentation of my children with special needs, with a series of toys was not enough to develop their game and interactive capabilities. Spending even a few minutes playing with them, I could make a big difference - and I felt much safer in my own parenting skills.

With the development of toys

The first step to start playing with a child with special needs to get your child isAttention. Often they have to play away from their own or supporting their activities attracted. This calls for a toy, the interest is - does not have his toy specialist developmental disorders.

Once the child's attention is necessary to hold their interest long enough to make them ample opportunity to practice the activity and learn how to give - both of which build confidence and, ultimately, they want to do it again. Peek A Boo with a scarf,balls, bean bags, bubbles and dolls are simple devices for the collection of a child to participate with a game very easily and can be started at any time at all.

Cause and effect toys for children with special needs

I found the effect and toys because they are really good, because a child can learn quickly if something happens that is another thing - push the button and a light comes on, or a mark appears or as with the Sound Puzzle Box, where if aThe correct form is in the hole on the right, makes a squeaking added.

Ball or ramps and pop-up-toy can play pen while in line to help a child who is reluctant to attend another game to interact with you or her. Only to attack the car or the ball at the top of the slope mean 1.2 3 'GO', but only let go when the child looks up accompanied with a great cry is another great way to enhance the enjoyment of your child and the promotion of interaction andEye contact.

Games to promote social skills, especially with autistic children

Ball and wasting cars are also very good for practicing social skills like turn-taking and wait, you have to work hard to involve the child in front of the ball when its not the hand, but this type of activity can often really help , waiting to block your child and prefer to take. These are just some ideas to help a child with special needs and call of the solitaire gameto play for a short period at first and develop a wish.

How SenseToys to help parents and carers

Children with special needs to determine when my, I was amazed that I could not find a mail order, mail order, the kind of toys I wanted for my autistic son Eddie. There have been many pre-school educational toys, but I was after High and Low suitable to find things were looking, I know you had some information on how best to play withto help them, Eddie. It's all right with special toys, but if you do not know what to do or how to get involved with your child is a very non-users. It is not a game, it's what you do, is the value that is for a child with autism. The purpose of the site is to bring SenseToys colored child, toys and many inspiring ideas on how to use them! Play for fun with your special.
