EEK my baby girl turns one next week and we are having a bit of a party combined with her dedication. I am not a great organiser! I only just remembered on the weekend to think about what we were all going to eat!!! Then my DH mentions lolly bags!!! I hadn't thought of those...so my question is what should I put in them? Most of the kids going are older than Em. Help please!
healthy option - sultanas, fruit sticks, dried fruit,
Junk food - a chocolate a little toy and peice of cake
For the girls, we had Dora Loot boxes filled with girly accessories, small mixed bag of lollies, and a balloon.
For the boys, we had a Transformers loot bag with a matchbox car, small mixed bag of lollies and a balloon.
For DS first birthday as there were lots of kids of different ages I just gave each one a lollipop with a fancy balloon tied to it. Can get bulk bags of lollipops & got the animal shaped balloons from Woolies. Was good also as I'd heard another mother rant about always getting bags full of choc etc...so figured only one lolly & they can decide if they eat it or not.
For his second I again steered away from filling with lollies, I used little brown paper bags put in a spinning top or bouncy ball & decorated Plain biscuits with icing and lollies to look like a lion...as we had jungle theme...that was it.
There is a great post on bb about lolly bags. Go to Children's Parties & Cake Decorating, then there is a sticky there called 'Ideas for kids party "lolly" bags'. Tried linking it but it didn't work. It's a great thread.
