Children love birthday parties and something to take home is an extra treat. If you’re looking for something a bit different from the traditional party bag, why not try these fabulous ideas.
Paint a picture
Painting a picture is a great activity for the children at your party, and better still, they can take the picture home with them as a memento of the fun they’ve had.
Make a sock puppet
Children love sock puppets, so why not have them make their own? Some funky socks and colourful bits and bobs (and lots of googly eyes!) to decorate them with are all you need, and you’ve got a fun activity and a party memento that didn’t cost you a fortune.
Fairy cake kit
A ‘cake in a jar’ kit is a great idea for a party favour. Simply pop into jam jars, measure out the dry ingredients into the jar and write on the outside what else they’ll need to add. Finally, decorate with a ribbon.
Art supplies
A little pack of felt tips, a small colouring book, a mini art gift set – anything artistic is great for children, who can take this home and then get stuck in on a rainy ‘I’m bored’ Sunday.
Grow your own plants
A packet of seeds, or a ‘grow your own plant’ kit from the supermarket, is a fun activity for your guests to take away with them. Unlike traditional party bag fillers, it’s a useful gift that your guest is going to see the benefits of. This one is better for older children.
