If you have chosen to make cardboard hobby horses or set up a t-shirt decorating station at the party, the birthday party guests will already be going home with some great mementos. If you want to really spoil the guests, or if you won’t be giving them t-shirts or hobby horses, here are some ideas for party favors.
You can buy a pre-made Horse Birthday party favors which includes many horse themed toys and games. The one featured on the right includes a Horse Power notepad, a Horse Power blowout, a Horse Power sticker sheet, 6" horse bean bag, plastic horse figurine, and 4 crayons. A very fun and horse themed party favor!
Put a small plush horse toy in a favor bag along with a “feed bag.” The feed bag can be a small white or brown bag full of gummy carrots and gummy sour apples to feed the horse. Write “Horse Feed” on the bag. You can also add a small comb as a grooming “curry comb,” and a length of ribbon for tying around the horse’s neck on special occasions.
Fill a favor bag with horse-shaped lollipops, horse stickers and horse-themed costume jewelry that you find at the dollar store or order online. You can also make home-made chocolates in the shape of horses using molds purchased from a baking supply store. A company called Foodoodler offers “My Little Pony” cookies that can be colored with edible markers. They offer kits with a pony cookie and three edible markers so the girls can color their own cookie at home. Other ideas include giving each child a paintable pony kit from Celebrate Express, a candy apple and an issue of a kid’s horse magazine such as Blaze Kids.
Purchase a horse mug for each child. Fill it with jelly beans or other candy and stick horse-shaped lollipops in the top. Wrap in clear mylar with a bow.
