Why Toy Story Party Favors Are So Much Fun

My Favorite Toy Story Party Favor Ideas
Mini Alien Favor Bags
When planning our Toy Story party, the aliens seemed like the most obvious choice for the favor bags. I found the green bags at the dollar store, and I printed and cut the aliens at home with my Cricut machine. So cute, right? Especially in my DIY claw machine party prop. I’ll link my tutorial below so you can build your own claw machine party prop. These were one of my favorite DIYs from the entire party.
DIY Claw Machine Prize Station
This was just so fun to build and was a huge hit with my guests! Watching every kid rush over to the claw machine after the piñata was one of my favorite memories from the party. It turned handing out favor bags into part of the entertainment instead of just something we did at the end.
Each bag was filled with fun themed favors as well, below ive linked some of our favorites.
Toy Story Stickers
These Toy Story stickers were one of the first things the kids spotted when they opened their favor bags. They’re inexpensive, easy to divide between bags, and kids love decorating water bottles, notebooks, and folders with them long after the party is over.
