Recommended prizes that kids will love. Great for participation prizes and awards (1–10)
A parfait of sweets decoNEW!
Looks just like the real thing! These prizes look fantastic in photos, too.
Prepare dessert cups, stone powder clay, paper clay, resin clay, silicone sealant, bamboo skewers, and acrylic paints.
Mix brown resin clay with water to make chocolate, and put silicone sealant into a piping bag to make whipped cream.
Shape stone powder clay or paper clay into whatever you like and paint them to create strawberries, cornflakes, ice cream, and more.
Combine them in any order you like to complete an adorable parfait! Try making a variety of parts and finishing it up.
ribbon charmNEW!
If you make items in various colors, they’ll be perfect for supporting your favorite idols! First, for the ribbon, cut a single ribbon into parts and then glue them together to form one ribbon.
Decorate as you like with beads and more.
As another embellishment, try making a tassel using embroidery thread.
Take one strand, pass it through a jump ring, then thread it through the bundled embroidery thread to secure it.
After that, just trim the whole thing to a suitable length and it’s done.
Attach each decoration, including the ribbon, to a carabiner or similar, and you’re finished!
Handmade gemstone soapNEW!
As the name suggests, it looks wonderfully colorful like a gemstone! First, cut the glycerin soap into suitable pieces, divide it among about three paper cups, and heat in the microwave to melt.
Add your preferred soap colorants and glitter to each, mix, and chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
Once set, cut them into small pieces, then place a mix of the different colors into a paper cup.
Pour in more melted glycerin soap, and set in the freezer for about another 10 minutes.
Once firm, cut into irregular, gem-like shapes—and you’re done! Enjoy the mysteriously beautiful look of mixed colors and glitter.
Handmade Colorful CandleNEW!
These colorful candles use chocolate sprinkles commonly found in sweets.
Spread syrup on the inside of your preferred glass, then evenly adhere the chocolate sprinkles.
Place a candle wick with a metal sustainer at the center of the glass, and pour in melted soy wax soft or paraffin wax.
When pouring the wax, let it cool to about 60°C first.
After filling, trim the wick to about 1 cm to finish.
Try customizing by using dragées instead of chocolate sprinkles or by coloring the wax.
fun eraser
When it comes to items that are fun to play with as toys and useful as erasers, novelty erasers are the go-to choice.
These unique stationery items shine as participation prizes or giveaways at events.
The lineup ranges widely from food-themed designs like ramen and katsudon to cute animal shapes.
Having a variety on hand can also spark conversations and encourage friends to trade with each other.
Why not try giving these versatile toy-like items as prizes in all kinds of situations?
Glowing Bracelet
How about incorporating sparkling, glow-in-the-dark bracelets into your prize ideas? They’re eye-catching items that work well for wrapping up kids’ gatherings and events, and they’re perfect for parties, too.
You can use them to liven up booths held in dark indoor spaces or nighttime events.
It’s also a good idea to have colorful bracelets on hand as items that can create an out-of-the-ordinary atmosphere.
Try giving children prizes that match various programs like singing, dancing, and theater.
character merchandise
For those who want to hand out prizes that bring out lots of smiles from children, character-themed goods are recommended.
Prepare a variety of items—such as stationery, accessories, and pouches—to liven up your event.
It’s also a great idea to give a large plush toy as a prize for games or bingo.
Choosing popular characters as prizes can spark deeper communication among the kids.
Try preparing character goods that are trending on TV or social media.
