Consider providing child toys for your carnival that are themed to match each ride and attraction. For example, you can give out pirate toys for children at every pirate attraction.

Planning Gifts and Goodies for Children’s Parties

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
For party planners and even parents who have decided to take on the task, planning a party for children can be daunting.  What treats and bulk toys should you buy? How much should you get? Are they safe? Toys for childrens parties and large gatherings should be planned for and ordered well ahead of time. This guide will help you plan a successful party for children using themed toys, low cost toys and wholesale novelty toys for children.
Party Themes
Before you buy anything, you must decide on a theme. Are you planning a birthday party for a little girl? A princess theme is always a hit. Animal themes are good for both boys and girls’ parties as well. Role-playing themes are also great for both genders and can compliment the favorite characters of the children. If the guest of honor loves pirates, you can create a party using pirate toys for children, such as eye patches, pirate hats, and other pirate novelty toys.  A party theme will help narrow down the types of child toys to buy in bulk for games, treats and goody bags.

Party Games
Before you decide what games to include in your party, it is best to know whether the majority of the party will be indoors or outdoors.  If your party is outdoors, choose a variety of games for physical play such as bouncy balls, sporting bats, table tennis, jumping ropes and hacky sacs. For indoor parties it is best to keep childrens toys handy that are interactive but do not involve a lot of physical activity.  These can include puzzles, card games, music toys for children and light up toys.

Goody Bags
For a child, one of the best aspects of a party is getting to take home a bag of treats. These treats are small, full of simple toys and treats, and are low cost toys when bought in bulk. This is where knowing your theme will also come in handy. For example, lets say you are making goody bags for a Princess themed party. You can fill goody bags with toy tiaras, toy jewelry and magic wands. For a Tea party, you can find excellent role-play gifs for goody bags such as tea party sets and cookies. Animal figurines make excellent party favors, as do Wild West sets for your cowboy themed party and gag gifts for the little jokester.

Remember when planning a child’s party and deciding what toys and novelty childrens gifts to buy in bulk, start with a theme in mind and build from there. It is best to know the interests and favorite toys of the children as well.  The games you choose, the decorations to purchase, and the goody bags you fill with novelty children’s gifts should all be central to your party theme.  If you have your theme, the rest should be a piece of cake!
