A's birthday party is in a couple of weeks and we are expecting more kids than usual. so i decided to do some "goodie bags" for the kids since im not going to have that much entertainment (just a few games here and there). The theme is curious george. I have a puzzle as well as some bubbles i bought from the dollar store that are curious george themed. ages range from newborn to age 5. any other suggestions of things i can add?

Re: party favors
For C's this past weekend I did: I had 25 made up for the youngest of kids to receive
-Giraffe print bags lined with pink tissue paper to match theme
-giraffe noise sticks that I found at Target and a few other nesties got me all the ones from their targets so I had enough. I also ordered stickers for the sticks that were shaped like a giraffe head and as her name and date on it
-snack bowls with a different sticker for c's birthday
-crazy straws
-bubbles
-Target fruit snacks
-star erasers
-pink and white candy cane stick
* the stickers were the same type I use for bottles and sippy cups so they are washable
* I spent a lot of money on the goodie bags (the bags and stickers alone were $60).
I did monkeys for A's 1st birthday (not Curious George but just generic monkeys). I was a bit of a nut and did two different bags based on age groups. I put in the different bags: monkey plate, monkey snack cup, monkey bowl (found them at $1 store), stickers, monkey themed book, little stuffed monkey, koosh balls, tattoos, activity pad with pen, small barrel of monkeys, small bags of goldfish. I also had these monkey lollipops in the centerpieces that people took home as favors (both adults & kids).
Oriental trading has a TON of monkey themed stuff for favor bags.

They have some inexpensive things at Party City that you could throw in there. I think a 4 pack of crayons were .35
Fruit snacks, goldfish, pretzels are always good. The kids like things they can eat. I put stickers and tattoos in the ones for A's bday this year.
Keep it simple. No need to spend a lot of money or go crazy!
