Make a Custom Patch Party Favor – It’s a Fun DIY Activity

Planning party activities for your family can be challenging. This simple craft idea will excite the kids and also serves as a great party favor they will take home and enjoy.

It’s as simple as choosing a base item such as a tote, sweatshirt, or headband.

Then have the kids choose their patches and letters to decorate their gear. Iron-on patches are more economical, but will entail assigning one or two adults to be in charge of the hot iron booth. Or, you can go with self-adhesive patches and viola …everyone gets to leave with a custom souvenir!

This activity doesn’t take long, doesn’t entail much set-up, and is just the perfect thing to keep them busy when they’re drying off from the pool.

Here are some options:

Pastel Spiral Notebooks

School supplies they won’t might squaring away this early in the season. Note that these are higher quality plastic covered notebooks.

Throw Pillows!

They can make a cute pillow for their bedroom.

Adorable Mini Backpacks

This could get pricey if you have a big crowd, but if it’s just a small group, they’ll have their go-to trip bag to take on the days they don’t need their pool towel. Also in beige. There are more mini backpack options under $10.
