I got everyone a slinky, playdoh and then I put in some snacks as well. The slinkys were a big hit with the older kids(but we only had them up to age 6). I was in Walmat a few weeks ago, and they have a dollar section where they had mini electronic videogames--like racecar driving, and soccer..maybe those??

yo-yos, stickers, small cars for the boys, maybe a little lip gloss for the girls, friendship bracelets.

Head to the Target dollar section- I always get cool stuff there for DD for long car trips.

You can also put small bags of goldfish, those Welch's Fruit snacks, etc.

Stickers, match box cars, bubbles....

For the older kids maybe lipgloss like suggested or nailpolish that comes off really easy (depending on the parents).

My friend gave out little piggy banks to all the kids with a picture and a their name, it was the cutest.
