Colour Your Own Party Bag

The first thing to consider when gathering items for party bag fillers is the party bag itself. There are a wide variety to choose from and the size of the bag will impact how much you can put in them, and looking at the reusability of them is an added bonus. Gifting the partygoers their goodies in a colour your own bag is just that extra bit special and perfect for keeping kids entertained. 

 

Kids Picture Book

 

The Large Family: 10 Kids Picture Book Bundle

 

A book is a great gift for children of any age. Not only will it encourage reading, they can keep it forever as a reminder of the party and their parents will appreciate the gift of storytime. And to make things easier, we have a large selection of 10 for £10 kids picture book bundles so you only have to buy one or two bundles and each child can receive their own heartwarming story.

 

Make Your Own Bracelets and Beads

Now, we’re not expecting you to create the bracelets yourself; simply buy some beads and loom bands and let the kids have a go! Girls in particular will love this - they're a must for a fun and creative party bag!


Fun Animal Masks

Everyone loves dressing up, especially kids, so why not throw in some fun animal craft masks? Not only will kids love wearing them, these particular masks are ready to be customised to suit each personality. They can be painted, papier mached, drawn on, add fun stickers to or glue on pasta shapes - anything they like - and they'll have fun doing it. 


Minion Bubbles Set

Kids go crazy for Minions, they absolutely love them, and this is pretty straight forward. Find some yellow tubes and fill them with bubbles. Even better, try and get some yellow tubes with bubbles already in them. Then decorate them to look like Minions. It really is that easy!

And if your kids would prefer the fun of bubbles without the added character, we have a great range of bubble toys available. 

 

Plush Toys
