Birthday party goody bags can contain a variety of items.
When planning a child's birthday party, the gift bags for guests are as important as the decorations and entertainment. Children are used to receiving a goody bag at the end of birthday parties and small children may feel disappointed if you don't give out party favors at the end of the day, Gift bags don't have to be expensive or elaborate. Most children will likely be delighted by even a small treat. Does this Spark an idea?
Toys and Candy
A typical kid's birthday party gift bag contains toys and sweets. Buy a selection of small plastic toys from your local dollar store or discount store. Kids will love small kazoos, whistles and cars, and the items won't take up much space at home. Place a toy in a bag and add a few lollipops or fun size candy bars to complete the party favor.
Arts and Crafts
Fill your gift bags with art supplies, such as paper, colored pencils and crayons. Or plan to have the kids do a craft project at the party, so their finished object is their party favor. The birthday party guests can paint tote bags or T-shirts, or decorate hats or picture frames.
Accessories
Purchase temporary tattoos, bandannas, inexpensive barrettes, costume jewelry and fingernail decals for a little girl's birthday party. Distribute the gift bags during the party, and let the guests adorn themselves with their gifts.
One Toy
Instead of filling a gift bag with several small items, your kid's birthday party guests might appreciate one larger item. Kids may appreciate bubbles, jump ropes, yo-yos, sidewalk chalk, flying discs, wind-up toys, balls and playing cards more than a bag of candy that will be gone in a day or two.
