It's that time again... A's birthday is in a few weeks and I need to make goodie bags for her party.
The party doesn't really have a theme - it's being held at a local indoor play centre, and there are quite a few kids coming. My approach with goodie bags has always been to get them something useful and fill that with little things, rather than just give little things wrapped in a plastic bag. I've given pencil cases, fanny packs, pails and courier bags, to name a few. Some time this week I'll head up to one of our dollar stores and see what I can find.
While I'm on the subject, here are some fun goodie bag/party favour ideas that I've seen at other parties we've attended:
1) Take home craft: each child was given a small gardening set and during the party they planted some seeds as well as a small flowering plant. They took home their tools and the things they had planted.
2) Another take home craft: sunglasses that each child decorated.
3) A bucket each of sidewalk chalk.
4) Costumes: at a Hawaiian theme party each child went home with a lei and a grass skirt.
5) Build-A-Bear! My kids have always loved being invited to Build-A-Bear parties.
