Kids party suppliesNeed ideas for kids party supplies? Well, here's a collection of supply ideas for favors, decorations, games, and fun stuff to help you choose what to get to make your party a success. On this page you'll find: and supplies for the following kid party themes: You can find supplies online of course, and you can also hunt for various items at dollar stores, bric-a-brac stalls, local markets, or your corner shop - depending on your needs and where you are in the world! And if you're the creative sort, you can make some cute favors and decoration touches yourself. Ideas for kids party favorsI've dreamed up a practical list of over 50 party favors for kids which you can use for almost any party theme you care to think of!Think of your guests and your theme; you will need enough favor bags or boxes for each child, plus one or two in reserve if you think there may be the odd unexpected little visitors! If there will be children under four years old at your party who will be getting favors, be sure they are safe! Some of the ideas below are not for the tots :) Don't forget... ...it's essential to prepare your kids party favors in advance! Assemble everything you need, package it up, and label each set of favors with the child's name. You can do this a few days before the party and then you'll feel so organized! Where I'm from in the UK, we usually send a slice of cake home with the child as well... yes, they've had some at the party, but they take a piece home for mum or dad or themselves to gobble up later! So for that I would make sure I had extra napkins or paper plates and small plastic party/loot bags ready to wrap up the pieces of cake towards the end of the party, and hope that the cake didn't get squashed on the child's way home :) You might also include a balloon on a string or a stick for each child to take home too; again, get this done before the kids arrive, because the end of a kid's party is usually an extremely busy time for everyone! How many party favors for kids should you include? Along with all the little gifts and candy, why not include a piece of fruit? An orange or apple are both good, or you could put in a box of fruit juice too. I think this is a nice practical touch!
If your child is dressing up as one of the characters from Harry Potter, then a Gryffindor or Quidditch costume should fit the bill; and a pair of Harry Potter glasses might come in handy! For Harry himself, a scar kit is an imaginative and awesome addition. A Sorting Hat is always useful if you're going to play a "sorting" game at your party, too. Imagine your guests zooming around on a Harry Potter broom! How about Hedwig? Add magical ambience!

In addition to your construction themed tablewear, here are some ideas for construction party favors and decorations. Construction party favors:
You could use a small box as a container "toolbox" and fill it with favors and candy, or do the same using a plastic traffic cone! Construction party decorations could include decals, pictures of trucks, ladders, tools - and how about pictures of different kinds of buildings and places:
You could pin these all around your party area - they'll be sure to educate as well as decorate! More fun ideas for this party with my suggestions for construction party games.
And you can choose supplies that are appropriate for the age of your guests. Little Dino or Barney items are more for the very little 'uns, but older kids will still love some dino stickers or candy. For dinosaur decorations, opt for kid-favorite character pictures or decals for your party room. If your kid guests are older, and know a lot more about dinosaurs than you do, lol, then it's time to find some more exacting dinosaur printables of different dinos that they will enjoy looking at and guessing the names of. Busy Bee Kids Printables offers free dinosaur coloring pages that are appropriate for younger and older kids, and they print out very well. You could use these to decorate and for kids to color in at the party. Alternatively, pop a coloring sheet in your loot bags. Dinosaur party favors bring you a whole dino world of choice:
