Party bag ideas for a fourth birthday

[Vivacia]

Just that really. Hope this is the right place to put this thread. (There'll be 24 at the party aged from 2 to 4 years, so far my only thought is a slice of cake).

bubble mix
supermarket party favours - those annoying whistles, stickers, punch balloons, cardboard animal masks...

Yep, it's going to be lots of plastic tat that we resent buying and they resent having to take home, right? I guess the children will enjoy it though.

24 2-4 year olds? you're brave!

If there's a theme like princesses etc you can order blow up wands from amazon pretty cheaply. Just give the party bag with cake and one more substantial thing. I've also in the past given a 'punch ballon' with or without rice inserted and an ice lolly...saved buying loads of the plastic junk. Good luck xx

Just buy a book for everyone - seems to be the thing everyone does around here

An inflatable balloon? I got a dolphin one once at a party when I was about 7 and was in ecstasy for about a week!
