Recommended for children's clubs! A roundup of prizes popular with kids (1–10)
glowing toy
How about giving shiny, light-up toys as prizes for kids’ events? These glowing toys—familiar sights at festival stalls—are also appealing because they can be sourced at low cost.
There are many types, including bracelets, pendants, headbands, glasses, and swords—items that get both boys and girls excited! At festivals, Halloween, Christmas parties, and similar events, kids can put them on right away and have fun, so why not take this idea as a reference?
sticker
When it comes to things kids love, stickers are a top pick! These days, even 100-yen shops carry a huge variety, making them an affordable option.
It might be a good idea to choose motifs that work for both boys and girls, such as popular character stickers, fancy designs, animals, or food.
In addition to the basics, you could also include options with a bit of added value—like puffy stickers, dress-up stickers, or stickers that come with a lottery element—which are sure to delight children.
pouch
Pouches make great prizes that any child would love—fashion-conscious kids can use them for lip balm or hair accessories, and kids who love games can use them for game cartridges or earbuds.
Designs featuring trendy anime or characters will be especially popular.
Timeless options like Disney or Sanrio characters are always a safe bet, too.
If you need a large quantity, volunteers who are good at sewing could make them by hand to cut costs.
Handmade options could even include slightly larger pouches or pouch-shaped supply cases!
fun eraser
When it comes to items that can be played with like toys or used as erasers, “novelty erasers” fit the bill.
These unique stationery items shine as participation prizes at events or as giveaways.
There’s a wide variety available, from food-themed designs like ramen and katsudon to adorable animal shapes.
Having a selection on hand can also spark conversations and encourage friends to trade with each other.
Why not consider giving novelty erasers as prizes that are sure to come in handy in all sorts of situations?
Cake towel
Towels are something you can never have too many of! If plain towels feel a bit dull as a giveaway, why not make towel cakes? With their cute look, kids are sure to love them.
Just prepare two or three folded hand towels, line them up, and decorate them like a cake.
Wrapping them in film or aluminum foil, or topping them with parts like chocolate and strawberries would be lovely too! If you have the time, adding embroidery to the towels or choosing popular character designs for kids will make them even more appreciated.
handkerchief towel
Towel handkerchiefs that you can keep in your pocket or bag are useful in all kinds of situations.
Why not give children a portable gift that can be folded and carried around? It’s a great idea to choose themes popular with kids, such as anime characters or animals.
Towel handkerchiefs with loops that can be hung on desks or walls are also handy at school.
These practical items are useful as giveaways for outdoor play, outings, and more.
Be sure to consider preparing them.
Assorted sweets
A mixed assortment of sweets that makes kids’ eyes light up is perfect as prizes for a children’s club.
How about packing a colorful selection ranging from classics to new treats, like ramune candies, chocolates, and potato chips? Using a transparent bag that shows the contents will build their anticipation.
On the other hand, mystery-style packaging that hides what’s inside is also full of excitement.
These dreamy, sweet prizes are sure to liven up any festival or event.
It looks like it’ll be a children’s gathering overflowing with smiles!
