I have stickers, note pads, bouncy balls (debating those b/c I am afraid they will hurt coming out), rings, jelly bracelets, squirt balls and maybe something else. There are 10 kids. Is that already enough stuff or should I get more? I will add a little bit of candy but not much.
ETA- the kids are 5 so I am not worried about choking hazards.

Sounds great to me!! I think the bouncy balls would be just fine, too. How about some temp tatoos? I hear those are really popular for that age, correct me if I'm wrong, though! You could also add individual bags of Goldfish or other snacks that aren't sugary.
We have temp. tattoos for them to wear during the party. :) I love the idea of wrapping up healthier snacks. Perfect!!!!

On America's Funniest Videos I saw a family that put veggies in their pinata...
I am so doing that when Jack gets older.
we've also been to parties where they include fruit snacks, yogos, and small packs of cookies (teddy grahams, TJ individually packed cookies, etc.).
Whistles, crayons, tiny party-favor toys (they sell little packets of them at target), New Year's-type noise makers...

and surprise! twins due 11/07!
That's an awesome idea! :) I'll have to mull that over!

Yeah, I have been meaning to scope out that aisle at Target. I did hit the party store. There seemed to be some promising stuff at Target when I glanced that way.
Thanks for all the ideas!!

Bandaids? J and friends are obsessed with them. With his group they would love it!
Congrats, btw!!! I just noticed your siggie (is that what it's called in cyperspace?) that you are due in November as well! Hope you are feeling well.

I think you are fine with what you have, but if you want more what I do is just go to the dollar store there and see what kind of party favor packs they have..I end up getting 6-8 of several different kinds of favors for $1.
I do exactly what you do..only a little candy.

Go to a site like Discount School Supply and take a look at there math manipulatives. You can get a tub of 100 wild animals, dinosaurs, farm animals or some such thing for around $7.
Thanks! Dh was so convinced (for some unknown reason) that we would have twins. I'm pretty darn sure we would know by now if there was more than 1 in there! I guess at 20 weeks there could be a surprise but I doubt it.
I hope you are feeling better. I read/ replied to your post on the other board. I hope you hit your turning point soon!
