What Green and Educational Things to put in Birthday Goodie Bag
My son will be having a birthday party from daycare. The other kids range in ages 2-3. What are some good "green" and "educational" items to put in the goodie bags? TIA!
Re: What Green and Educational Things to put in Birthday Goodie Bag
I'm with pp on the crayons/noisemakers thing.
Buy them stuff that doesn't require batteries or electricity. Big Legos would keep them busy and their minds working.
If you really want to be green don't fill a goodie bag with a bunch of crap that will break or be thrown away. Give a book made from recycled paper (although that's not really green in my mind, but that's a whole different subject).
Personally I'd give them a cookie or some other small edible treat in a paper bag.
I agree. "Edible" has to be green in some way, right?
bubbles with a funny wand (not just the wand you get in the package). Not exactly "green" but you can look to see if the bottle is recycleable (number 1 or 2 on the bottom in our district). And the kids will enjoy playing with them.
Treats such as goldfish in the small packages
Fat crayons and a coloring book
The best b-day goodie bag we ever got had a CD the parents burned of cool kids' music (we keep it in the car) and a paperback story book- over a year later we have both.
We got sidewalk chalk in a goodie bag once.
I don't like doing candy/cookies because I think the kids getting cake @ the party is enough sugar.
Bubbles?, Playdough? (You can get the really small containers) I like the pp's ideas about chalk, jumbo crayons and the CD!
