Ideas for Budget Favors for "Bounce" Party

[DisneyToddlers]

Hi, We are having a Bounce Party at an Inflatables Party Place. My girls are turning 3 and 5. The guests range in age from about 2-10. Anyone have ideas for gift type favors (not goody bag items) that may go along with this theme and that would be good for a wide range of ages? I could always get something for the little ones and a different thing for the older kids.

I did personalized water bottles one year, so I don't want to do that again.

Thanks in advance!

How about bouncy balls? I'm not sure how much you want to spend per child, but there are some really cool ones with glitter inside (about 6 inches in diameter) that my kids love. Our Learning Express has lots of cool bouncy balls in all sizes ranging from a dollar or two per ball to ten dollars or so for the big ones. I saw several styles at Target yesterday as well.

Another (cheaper) idea would be playground balls or kick balls. I have seen them at Target in years past in three packs of the smaller size. Target and Walmart also have large plastic balls for about $3 each - my DD10 loves to try to kick them over the house. A friend's baby actually learned to walk with one of these balls - she played with it at our house (it was as tall as she was) and walked behind it as it kept rolling away from her.

I was going to say inflatable beach balls? My kids have gotten the inflatable bats, guitars ect at those parties in the past.

How about those punch balls? The ones with a long rubber band on one end.

It seems kind of random but how about some cute socks? You have to have them to play in those bouncey places! Maybe b-day ones? Also, the Little Miss and Mr Books (which are very reasonable) have a Mr. Bounce character and book. Maybe you can work that into it somehow? Also, you could do jump ropes or chinese jump ropes which will remind the children of the activity at the party.

SIL at the last bounce party she had just did a frisbee with a box of movie candy with a thank you label. She lined them up on the window ledge and they were so cute. I'd do just the box of candy and lable myself. Kids just want something and parents hate the little junk to end up everywhere later.

Last party DS had I did McD's gift cards for 5.00. They were well appreciated

Thanks for all your great suggestions so far. I'll have to look around!

Anyone else have ideas?

Character Peez dispenser and candy. DD8 got a snowman one as a thankyou gift at a party in December and loved it.

When we did this for my dd, I gave bags of cotton candy. Kids all loved it and it was very easy. That was one of the best parties we've had! All in all, I have done 3 or 4 bounce house parties and everyone has a blast! I have found that it is cheaper to rent a big one for my house than the store. We get to keep it for 24hrs so we ALL get our bounce fill by the time they pick it up!

hula hoops? Inflatable beach balls, and let the kids all "sign" each others?

Rubber playground balls...you can get a bunch at oriental trading. Big hit around here!
