Finding the right promotional product is tough—especially with so many to choose from! Finding a kid-friendly toy to imprint and distribute at your event can be an even more challenging task. Fun promotional games and toys provide mindful experiences that can help kids disconnect from technology and become immersed in your brand. Our merchandising expert, Michelle, has helpful tips on educational, team building and just plain fun promo items to spark creativity and boost involvement.
Promos for creative and strategic fun
“Activities like coloring, puzzles and games challenge kids to be creative and think strategically while encouraging breaks from technology,” Michelle said. Put a fun twist on your handouts by offering reusable Super Kid Coloring Tote Sets. These exclusive sets come with crayons that can be used on the bag. Distribute 4-Piece Chalk Sets at a community-sponsored chalk art event and encourage kids to color the town with their creativity.
A card game, like Crazy Eights, brings individuals together during family night or while traveling. Michelle recommended the Foam Stamp Activity Kit as a “fun activity to stash in event goodie bags, with five shapes to choose from.”
Items to boost attention and sharpen focus
Fidget Fun Blocks help turn boredom into entertainment while creating a lasting impression of your brand. “Give these stress-relieving devices a spin at the grocery store, while traveling or while passing time at an appointment,” Michelle said. Push Pop Balls are another fidget option. They come in a range of colors, so you’ll be sure to find one that works with your logo.
Molding shapes is a wonderful way to put their fine motor skills to use. Excite them with a branded take-home from school fundraising events or field trips—Fun Foam Putty is a great option. “Also great for treating attendees,” said Michelle, “these Fidget Puzzle Balls can be tossed to kiddos as they walk in or out of your event.”
Fun promotional games for quality team building or family time
Arrange a team-building yard event by setting up a few Smash It Ball Yard Games or Portable Bean Bag Toss Games. You can also use them as prizes for a company raffle or drawing. “These are fantastic activities to pack for different occasions,” Michelle advised, “like camping or a beach day.”
You can cultivate employee relationships by planning a companywide breakout session in your office cafeteria. Hand out a Wooden Ring Toss Game or Tumble Tower along with snacks and refreshments. Wondering how to enhance family engagement at school open houses or orientations? Use these games to encourage parents and kids to play together.
Plushie marketing tools with long-term effects
Cute, cuddly giveaways are attention grabbers that are sure to be a hit. “4imprint has an ever-growing selection of stuffed animals,” Michelle said. For example, fill your informational table with Sidekick Shorty Sharks to promote child safety, awareness and other important information at kids’ events. Fun for kids, employees and clients, plush Little Paw Bears and Furry Fella Lions make fur-ever friends!
Looking to soothe anxiety during a doctor or dentist visit? Gift them an Aurora Dreamy Eyes Giraffe to use as their support system. They can keep it at home or take it on the road, giving your logo miles of exposure.
