Birthday Party Favor Bags

Ok so I had to do birthday favor bags for Anthony’s 2nd birthday. But only because my girlfriend reminded me. Duh! Thanks Jody!!
I took advantage of the sales they’ve had recently and spent about $5 per “bag”. Yes, that is a steep price but since I only had to make 4 of them (one being Anthony’s) I was ok with doing it. So now you are dying to know what is in them aren’t you??
Well…..first I didn’t use a bag. Why be wasteful, right? Instead I bought pencil cases at Target a couple of weeks ago - blue for the boys and pink for the girls. I then wrote their name on the top of the box so they feel super special. My mom had the brilliant idea of using a sharpie instead of painting it on, which was my first thought. Thanks mom! Thank god for other people and their brains
So now the filler:
- a box of Crayola crayons for 22 cents
- a box of primary colored modeling clay for $1
- 2-3 sheets of stickers ($1 per package but some packages had 2 in there and were broken up)
- a box of Crayola colored pencils for 88 cents
- a package of Crayola model magic (bought a package of 6 for 6.99 and had 2 left over for Ant to play with)
If Anthony is any judge than the other kids will love it! And for the icing on the cake, they’ll get to take a balloon home too.
