25 Halloween Party Favors for Kids
1. Halloween Pop-It Fidgets
Mini pumpkin, ghost, and bat-shaped pop-its are easy to hand out individually or tuck into Halloween goodie bags. Kids can continue playing with them long after the party.
2. Glow Stick Bracelets
Glow sticks are inexpensive, fun, and actually useful if the party happens close to trick-or-treating time. Give each child several bracelets or necklaces.
3. Halloween Slap Bracelets
Remember slap bracelets? Somehow they’re still fun. Look for Halloween designs featuring pumpkins, ghosts, monsters, and bats.
4. Mini Halloween Plushies
Tiny ghosts, pumpkins, black cats, or monsters make adorable Halloween Party Favors for Kids, especially for younger children.
5. Halloween Stickers
Sticker packs are inexpensive and easy to divide between guests. Try cute ghosts, pumpkins, spooky animals, or puffy Halloween stickers.
6. Halloween Temporary Tattoos
Set up a temporary tattoo station during the party and send extras home afterward. Kids can choose pumpkins, skeletons, monsters, spiders, or silly ghosts.
7. Mini Halloween Coloring Books
Small coloring books work especially well for preschool and elementary-age parties. Pair each one with a few crayons for a complete little favor.
8. Halloween Crayon Packs
Halloween-shaped crayons or small crayon sets are useful without adding another plastic toy to the house. Pair them with coloring sheets or activity books.
9. Halloween Activity Books
Look for mini activity books with mazes, word searches, matching games, puzzles, and coloring pages.
10. Halloween Pencils
Halloween pencils are perfect for classroom parties. Add spooky erasers or pencil toppers to make them feel a little more exciting.
11. Halloween Erasers
Pumpkin, ghost, bat, and monster erasers are small enough for treat bags and useful for school afterward.
12. Mini Halloween Notebooks
Little notebooks are another practical favor kids can use for drawing, writing, or approximately 700 very important doodles.
13. Halloween Bubbles
Mini bubble bottles with Halloween labels are particularly fun for younger kids. You can also add a cute personalized tag to each bottle.
14. Halloween Slime
If you’re brave enough to send slime home with someone else’s child, this one is practically guaranteed to be popular. 😂 Mini Halloween slime containers make easy individual favors.
15. Halloween Mochi Squishies
Tiny squishy ghosts, pumpkins, cats, and monsters are inexpensive Halloween Party Favors for Kids and easy to buy in multipacks for larger groups.
16. Stretchy Skeletons
These goofy little toys are simple, affordable, and exactly the kind of thing kids somehow find hilarious.
17. Halloween Finger Puppets
Ghost, witch, monster, pumpkin, and skeleton finger puppets are great for preschoolers and younger elementary-age children.
18. Mini Halloween Flashlights
A small flashlight can double as a fun favor and a useful accessory for Halloween night. Look for kid-friendly mini flashlights or light-up Halloween toys.
19. Halloween Stampers
Mini self-inking Halloween stamps are perfect for goodie bags. Kids can use them for crafts, cards, and decorating paper at home.
20. Halloween Play-Dough
Mini containers of play-dough are another easy non-candy option. Orange, purple, green, and black make the whole favor feel instantly Halloween-themed.
21. Halloween Bracelet Kits
For older kids, friendship bracelets are a fun option. You could give individual bracelets or let everyone make one during the party and take their creation home.
22. Halloween Keychains
Pumpkin, ghost, skeleton, monster, or ghost keychains can be clipped onto backpacks, lunch bags, or pencil cases after Halloween.
23. Halloween Glasses
Silly pumpkin, bat, witch, or ghost glasses make great party favors because kids can wear them during the celebration. They’re also fun for photos.
24. Halloween Goodie Bags
Sometimes the bag itself can be part of the favor. Choose reusable Halloween drawstring bags, pumpkin pouches, or cute Halloween treat bags and add two or three small surprises.
25. Halloween Mini Craft Kits
A small craft gives kids something to do during the party and something to bring home. Try scratch art, foam ornaments, bracelet kits, pumpkin decorating, rock painting, or Halloween magnets.
Non-Candy Halloween Party Favors for Kids
You absolutely don’t have to send everyone home with more candy.
By the time Halloween night arrives, most families already have enough sweets sitting on the kitchen counter to open a small candy store.
That’s why I especially like non-candy Halloween Party Favors for Kids.
Stickers, coloring supplies, fidgets, mini books, crafts, bubbles, glow sticks, and little toys still feel festive without adding another handful of chocolate.
You could even mix one small toy with one piece of candy if you want a little of both.
Affordable Halloween Party Favor Ideas
If you’re buying favors for an entire classroom or a party with 20 kids, costs can get out of control surprisingly fast.
Multipacks are your friend.
Instead of buying 20 individual toys, look for bulk packs containing enough pieces for every child. Divide them into inexpensive Halloween treat bags and add a cute tag.
You also don’t need five things in every bag.
One fun item plus stickers and a small treat can be plenty.
When choosing Halloween Party Favors for Kids, I’d rather give them one thing they’ll genuinely enjoy than fill a bag with random plastic pieces simply because there was room left.
Halloween Party Favors by Age
Toddlers & Preschoolers
Keep favors simple and age-appropriate. Coloring supplies, bubbles, larger stickers, mini books, play-dough, and simple crafts can work well.
Always check product age recommendations and avoid small pieces that could pose a choking hazard.
Elementary-Age Kids
This age group gives you plenty of options: fidgets, slime, glow sticks, temporary tattoos, bracelets, squishies, activity books, and craft kits.
Older Kids
For older children, skip anything that feels too babyish. Try bracelets, keychains, mini games, glow accessories, notebooks, pens, or small gift cards when your budget allows.
How to Make Halloween Favors Feel Special
You don’t need elaborate Pinterest-worthy packaging.
A simple orange or black treat bag tied with ribbon can look adorable. Add a little tag saying “Thanks for making our Halloween spooky fun!” and you’re done.
And if you’re hosting several kids, make the favors identical. Nobody needs a Halloween party ending with an argument because one child got a purple ghost and somebody else got an orange pumpkin. 😂
Simple is completely okay.
