What to put in a party favor bag, age by age
A good favor bag has one thing to do right now and one thing to keep. Here is how we would fill it.
Ages 1 to 3
Keep it to one or two larger pieces. A bubble bottle with the wand in the cap is the classic for a reason: the grown-up blows, the toddler chases.
Ages 3 to 5
Add something to wear or carry. Kids' neon sunglasses are a favorite, and a mini bubble wand fits in a small fist. One of each and the bag is done.
Ages 6 to 9
This is the age for fidgets and gadgets: squeeze balls, multicolor pens, scratch art notebooks. They will be compared and traded before the cake is cut.
One count for everyone
Buy by the number of invitations, plus the siblings who come along. Our favors are packed in dozens for exactly that reason.
