Ideas for party bags etc for 7 yo s party?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Ds is nearly 7 and I want to make his party as "green" as possible.

The big thing I am drawing a blank on is all those little gifts that you have at a party. Stuff to go inside pass the parcel, for the party bags, etc etc.

I don't really want to put stuff in there for the sake of it.

So far I have the following on my list:

Bulbs (for planting now)
Cress etc seed
Stickers
I might put in boxes of raisins or fruit bars or something, but tbh I think, at 7 +, this one is wearing a bit thin.

Thoughts?

BTW I have 2 days left before the party (yes, disorganised!), so anything that involves crafting is unlikely to be much of a goer. Unless it is SUPER-quick.

- pencils, crayons, and / or erasers
- washable "tatoos"
- tablets of bathwater dyes (you'd have individual wrappings then, though)
- handkerchief / cloth tissue

You could buy some cheapie bandanas (like pp's handkercheif idea) or even on-theme fabric remnants to tie the items up with. Dunno if you're up to making simple drawstring bags, but most kids like bags for their random loot... and you could provide some supplies for them to use in decorating their bags. Or even if you made shopping totes or lunch bags out of old clothes for the kids and put their stuff in there. Maybe blank cups or mugs? GL!
