Making Dora Party Favors Memorable For Children

Dora the explorer is one of children’s all-time favorites. Entire clubs have been formed over her character. Needless to say, it makes for one great theme for your child’s birthday party. Done the right way, a Dora themed party can be a memorable one for all the kids attending your kid’s party. One of the ways to do that is to gather some amazing Dora party favors and presenting them the right way.

To make a really good Dora birthday party, you want to create a whole explorer experience at the birthday party venue, whether it is indoors or outdoors. It would be better if all the activities planned for the birthday party are outdoors since Dora is an explorer. Once the venue is decided you would want set a mini exploring site, where children can find hidden things, which is at the heart of exploring.

Once the venue (whether indoor or outdoor) is finalized, it is time to start thinking on party favors. When you think about Dora the first thing that comes to mind is her backpack. It gives Dora everything that she needs to explore whatever place she goes. Instead of looking for dedicated goodie bags, a Dora backpack can double up as goodie bags.

The first of the Dora party favors to go inside goodie bags should be the map. The map is one of the most recognizable things for children among Dora’s other things. This map can be any map, but a map of the venue with select spots marked as treasure spots will do the job for you. You don’t need to buy complicated maps to confuse them.

Once they have all their gear, separate children into small groups of 2 or 3. Give them simple directions and ask them to find treasures at certain spots marked in the map mentioned earlier. These treasures will simply be small gifts. When children find something, they get to keep it as party favors. This way, they feel they’ve earned their party favors and have fond memories of this experience.

In addition to what children do in their mini exploring activity, some additional party favors such as stickers, lunch boxes, water bottles can be added to the goodie bag. However the high value favors will be the ones which children have already used while playing at the birthday party since these are associated with the amazing experience they have had.
To make it all easier, stores do sell Dora favor kits with everything readymade. It would be a good choice if you don’t have much time on hand. However, it won’t likely make for the same memorable experience as custom made favors which are closely related to the activities the kids have been a part of at the birthday party. Hence, it is always better to plan in advance and create a different experience.

The above are just some of the suggestions on how to plan a cracker of a birthday party worth remembering for your kid and his or her peers. You may have even more ideas of your own for how to present Dora party favors. The basic principle however that is you create an experience that is different and unlike any other that the kids have experienced on a birthday party. What could be a better birthday gift for your 7 year old?
