Crafts for Kids Hot Topic: Ideas for favor bags?

[CNYMom]

We're having around 15 children here for my daughter 1st birthday party. The ages of children range from 12 years old down to 4 months. I'd like everyone to have a favor bag when they leave the party. I need some other ideas/suggestions for all the children.

Don't know what to do about the 4 month old...rattle, maybe?

Bubbles are cheap and easy...stickers.......whistles.........cheap sunglasses.....hats.........necklaces (like the mardi gras kind).........crayons.......pens and pencils.........

Check out Oriental Trading Co. online....they sell lots of that kind of stuff. Might give you some more ideas..............with that age range, it's kind of difficult to do the same stuff.............

We had two babies come to Zach's 4th birthday party, and I just picked out two board books for their bags. They were actually foam-type material and I got them at the party store.

I gave the kids stadium cups & they got to fill them up with the candy from the pinata. Oriental Trading is fantastic for all this stuff.

Dollar store is a great place to search around!

I went to Target today to pick up favors for Madeline's party -- they had a whole section of $1 stuff, and there were things for all ages. Board books for babies, on up to little purses and diaries for teens.

I got Hello Kitty pens and pencil tins for the girls at her party, and some wooden models for the boys. I'm going to package them in a pretty bags from the dollar store.
