A birthday party favour does not have to be another bag of sweets, plastic toys and tiny items that disappear by the next day.
A Jubiloo Birthday Party Favour Paint Kit gives each guest a small creative activity and a handmade plaster piece to paint, keep and take home. It can become part of the party itself, rather than something handed out only as guests leave.
At Jubiloo, we make our plaster items in small batches using our own moulds. The aim is simple: give children something fun to create, personalise and remember after the party is over.
Why choose a creative party favour?
A good party favour should feel like part of the celebration.
Traditional loot bags can be quick and easy, but they often become an afterthought. A paint-your-own plaster kit gives children a moment to sit, create and make something that looks different from everyone else’s.
For the host, it can do more than one job:
- A hands-on birthday activity
- A take-home party favour
- A creative break between games, food and cake
- A keepsake that children can paint in their own colours
It is especially useful for parties where you want to keep little hands busy without needing to organise another full game or entertainer.
How to use paint kits at a birthday party
A simple painting table can become part of the party setup.
Set out one kit for each guest, protect the table surface and give children enough space to paint comfortably. You can make the painting activity the main event, or keep it open as a quieter station that children visit between other activities.
There is no need for every painted piece to look the same. The fun is in choosing colours, trying ideas and seeing each child’s personality come through.
For a smoother setup:
- Confirm your guest count before ordering.
- Order early if your party is on a fixed date.
- Choose a table that can be covered and cleaned easily.
- Keep the supplied instructions nearby.
- Make sure an adult is available to supervise the activity.
Jubiloo kits are not suitable for children under 3 years old. Children should use their kit with appropriate adult supervision and follow the instructions supplied with the product.
What is the paint like?
Jubiloo uses a vivid water-based paint range that is designed for beginners and confident young creators alike.
The paint used in Jubiloo kits is non-toxic and suitable for children when used as intended and with appropriate adult supervision. It cleans relatively easily from hands and work surfaces. If paint gets onto clothing, treat it with soap as soon as possible; results can vary depending on the fabric and how long the paint has been left to dry.
Our white paint is non-yellowing, helping painted designs stay bright over time.
Paint should not be eaten or placed in the mouth. Always follow the instructions and warnings supplied with the kit.
A party favour that feels personal
Children do not need to be “good at art” to enjoy painting. A child can choose bold colours, copy a favourite colour combination, paint carefully or simply have fun experimenting.
That is what makes a handmade plaster party favour different from a generic party-bag item: the finished piece becomes theirs.
For a birthday host, it also creates a natural conversation moment. Children can compare colours, show their designs and take home something they have actually made.
Planning a group order
Before placing a party order, think about:
- How many guests you expect
- The age group of the children
- Whether the party is indoors or outdoors
- How much table space you have
- Whether the party has a specific theme or date
- How much time you want to leave for the activity
If you need a larger quantity, have a time-sensitive celebration or want help choosing the right option, contact Jubiloo before ordering.
Because items are handmade and some orders may need preparation time, early planning is the easiest way to avoid last-minute stress.
Is a paint kit better than a loot bag?
It depends on the kind of party you want to create.
A traditional party bag is a quick takeaway. A paint-your-own plaster kit is an activity first and a favour second. It gives guests something to do together and something personal to keep afterwards.
If the goal is a creative, hands-on birthday moment, it is a simple alternative to filling bags with items that may not be used.
