Why We LOVE Carnivals
As a child, I fondly remember my elementary school's fundraising carnival, where classrooms became game rooms filled with fun and prizes. My lucky streak at the Lollipop Tree left me with three giant lollipops and unforgettable memories. Years later, attending a local carnival with my young children helped them feel at ease on campus, meet teachers, and enjoy a fun-filled day.
When my children started school, I volunteered at their carnival and witnessed its impact firsthand. It fostered community connections among parents, teachers, and staff while raising significant funds—over $5,000 in a single day in 2004. Unlike cookie dough or wrapping paper fundraisers, school carnivals create cherished family memories and meaningful experiences!
Our Mission
Here at Carnival Savers - our mission is to help event planners plan and host successful carnivals including school carnivals, fall festivals, fun fairs, egg hunts, and events for any size crowd.
We do this by offering low-priced carnival supplies and sharing our 2 decades of experience on our Carnival Planning Blog and on our Carnival Game Ideas Page, where we share step-by-step directions so you can easily mimic our ideas for yourself!
Why Choose Carnival Savers?
Carnival Savers was founded back in 2005 with the idea of helping schools, churches, and non-profits save money and time when planning a carnival. After working with many schools, it became apparent that many things could be done to make carnival shopping easier.
1. We Are the Carnival Experts
We don't just sell carnival supplies and prizes - we have been actively involved with planning and hosting carnivals for the last 20 years! With more than 2 decades of experience, including being on a school carnival committee, planning church fall festivals, setting up a few activities for a neighborhood bash or at a community Easter Egg Hunts, and even assisting with backyard carnivals!
2. We Make Shopping Easy by Grouping Carnival Prizes by Cost
Carnival Savers has a shop-by-price website with items in different price ranges. We also did the math for you—each item states how much it costs per piece, which saves you time when shopping. We do our best to be competitive with our pricing, and because you are buying in bulk, we are happy to show you the savings on each item!
See our Carnival Prizes page for our cost-by-price online catalog.
3. We Offer Bulk Carnival Prizes, Which Saves Time for Planners
You talk—we listened! Due to customer requests, we also added a Bulk Carnival Prizes page with several sets of hand-picked and an assortment of prizes to make shopping quick and easy! We also offer bulk Easter eggs and toy egg stuffers for our Easter Egg Planners!
New for 2025: We added extra pictures to show the toys included with each set!
4. We Test Carnival Toys & Carnival Games Before Selling
Carnival Savers knows how frustrating it can be to purchase an item and discover during the carnival or later that it just doesn't work. Our items are kid-tested to ensure they work and are fun for kids. We have found spin tops that don't spin, flying toys that don't fly and more - rest assured, those are NOT included in our online catalog!
We offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee on everything we sell!
NOTE: All toys are third-party tested for safety - we simply test for functionality!
5. We Share Carnival Game Ideas and Game Details So You Don't Have to Figure it Out the Hard Way
After working with carnival planners, we found that many volunteered for the job but were unsure how to implement the games. For example, many people we talked to forgot how to play the Cakewalk Game. We are happy to share all the game ideas and the step-by-step directions, supplies needed, set up, how to play each game, and finally, how carnival prizes are won. See our Free Game Ideas page as a great place to see most of our everyday carnival game ideas - some you may have never seen before, like the Rock Monster, Pick a Door, and Crazy Hats!
6. We Help Fundraising Carnivals Boost Their Profits
Many volunteers know how to set up a carnival for kids to have fun, but they miss out on the profit. We want to teach you how to do both! That’s why we offer free articles and tips to help maximize fun and profits at your next carnival!

How We Started
Owned by a mother with four years of experience in special events planning and three years of business experience – Carnival Savers was started in 2004, and the website was initially designed in April 2005 to offer reliable carnival supplies for less.
Through the years, all family members have helped this family-owned and operated business. My husband has helped me design carnival games and provide directions so others can make these games too! Our children have gone from testing the carnival games and toys to helping set up local carnivals, volunteering at game booths, painting game booths, writing blogs, and even writing some of the computer code for the Carnival Savers website.
Thank you for visiting, and we look forward to meeting you, serving you, and helping you plan and host the best carnival ever!
