Goodie bags - too much? need something else?

[jgenie]

I'm working on goodie bags for DC joint birthday party. Guests will be ages 2 - 5. Can't decide if I have too much or need something else. WDYT?

I was thinking of doing each of these items. I have everything already but can save art kits for a spring fundraiser basket if two art kits is too many.

Crayola on the Go kit (http://www.amazon.com/Crayola-Color-Wonder-Ship-Cover/dp/B004ALXWOQ/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1355534250&sr=8-25&keywords=crayola+on+the+go)

Cars color and sticker pack from the Dollar Spot at Target

2 twizzlers (http://www.amazon.com/Twizzlers--Red-Licorice-Twists-180ct/dp/B000EUI1NE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357854672&sr=8-1&keywords=twizzlers) sticks

2 smarties (http://www.amazon.com/Smarties-Bulk-1lb-Bag-Wrapped/dp/B003BQXKDY/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1357854711&sr=1-1&keywords=smarties)

Snack pack of cookies (http://www.amazon.com/Grahams-Variety-Pack-Packages-12-Count/dp/B002ULSKXQ/ref=sr_1_17?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1357854750&sr=1-17&keywords=cookie+snack+packs)

Should I just do one of the art kits?

TIA

I think one art kit will be plenty! most of the b-day parties we have been to lately have not been giving any goodie bags and honestly i am fine with it. at dd's party we gave one small sticker book from the dollar bins at target.

I'd rather have the art kits and less of the cookies/candy

I'd skip any of the candy. And I'd either just do the art set you have and the cookies or the art set and tape a balloon to them (each kid gets one balloon and 1 art thing). eta- just 1 art kit is plenty.

One art kit and cookies sounds fine. Skip the twizzlers and candy!

I usually do one big thing which is educational or crafty (like your crayola set or a book, etc) and one candy treat. Added in the treat after a kid told me the goody bag didn't have any goodies, lol. I also give a balloon from the party decorations to any kid who wants one.

Thanks for the replies. I'll use the Cars kits and the cookies and save the Crayola kits for our spring fundraiser. TIA
