12 Crafty Birthday Activities That Double as Party Favors

Say cheese! Pick a spot with great light — indoors or outside — and set up a photo booth, complete with whatever props you have on hand (Ann Raft Photography has some great ideas). Set a Fujifilm Instax Mini camera (or something similar) on a bench and let the kids take pictures of each other (or, to use less film and ensure some useable pics, an adult can act as photographer). 

If you need more activities, set up another station with these simple paper frames and let the partygoers decorate them with markers, stickers, paints or whatever else you’d like! Slide the pic into the frame and hang it up during the party for instant decorations. As guests leave, let them take their frame and picture. Add a few magnets on the back of the frame so they can display it on their fridge at home.
