Bubbles

• Bubbles are an inexpensive gift that can keep children entertained for extended periods of time. This is a fun idea if you are planning to give them to your guests to use when you leave the reception for your honeymoon. You can purchase bubbles specifically for weddings that are non-staining, and you can have the bottles personalized with your name and wedding date.
  
  

Playing Cards

• Better for older children, playing cards give kids something to do while adults are socializing at your reception. You can find playing cards in a variety of styles and colors, and could easily find a style that matches the theme of your wedding.
  
  

Cookies

• A lot of couples choose to have cookies for wedding favors, and they are always a hit among children as well. If you want to make them extra special for the kids, order them in a design that will appeal to kids. For example, if you are having a beach-themed wedding, order cookies in shell and flip-flop designs.
  
  

Do-It-Yourself Favors

• If you really want to ensure that the kids at your reception are entertained, hire someone to set up a booth where the kids can create their own favors. My Dream Wedding Ideas suggests letting the kids create finger puppets, photo frames or wedding cards that they can take home after the reception is over. This will keep them occupied so their parents can socialize with other adults.
  
  

Activity Kits

• Purchase pre-packaged wedding activity books specifically designed for children, or create your own. Pick up some treat bags and include things such as stickers, crayons, puzzles, fun-shaped erasers, and lip balm. Tailor the kits to give to the boys and the girls, and also by age group.
  
  

Kids Table

• If you know how many kids to expect at your wedding, set up tables specifically for the kids. Fill the tables with coloring books and puzzles. Let them decorate the table by covering it with a paper tablecloth and giving them stickers and streamers.
