Few things are more important to children that their birthdays, so if you're organizing your kid's birthday party you'll be anxious to get everything right, down to the last little detail. The very last detail, of course, is what the children take home with them - every kid's birthday party these days has to end with the distribution of goodie bags.
Here are ten ideas to help you create kids' birthday party goodie bags which will go down a treat.
1 - Candy! This may be an obvious choice, but no kid's birthday party would be complete without it. Of course, it's also bad for teeth, so you won't want to provide too much of it. Choose bright colors and unusual shapes over large quantities of familiar candies.
2 - Erasers. These are available in all sorts of interesting shapes and colors which an be matched to the kids' birthday party theme you've chosen.
3 - Noise Makers. Simple, cheap, but very loud. Don't give these out until the very end of your kid's birthday party or your poor sore ears will cause you to regret it, but the children will always have a great time with them.
4 - Balloons. Remember that kids may have difficulty blowing these up themselves, so you should be on hand to help if they want to inflate them before they go home. Bear in mind that sometimes unpredictable fashions will lead to every child wanting the same color of balloon, so keep some spares ready for arranging swaps.
5 - Hair Accessories. Little girls will love these and will talk about them proudly at school, increasing your child's popularity. Be wary of fickle fashion changes, though - ask your child or an experienced shop assistant for advice before you buy.
6 - Cars. They may seem old fashioned, but small model cars remain a favorite, especially with little boys. They'll give them something to play with at home after the immediate excitement of your kid's birthday party is over.
7 - Bookmarks. Brightly colored, unusual bookmarks are not only aesthetically appealing, they encourage children to read. The most popular choices are often those associated with currently popular children's books, so ask your local book store for advice.
8 - Coloring Pencils. Available in little packs, each containing several different shades, these will provide hours of fun after your kid's birthday party has finished.
9 - Torches. Mini flashlights will make kids feel sophisticated and grown-up; they can also be useful tools. They're great to play with if guests are leaving your kid's birthday party after dark.
10 - Keyrings. These can be matched to your kid's birthday party theme. Children will love to compare them at school as they discuss what a great time they had!Labels: activities, birthday, fun, kids, party
