Non-junky goody bag ideas (no food)

[umsh]

I hate goody bags and I know most people here do too. But I need 25 goody bag type items for my 5th grader’s class party and 25 for my 2nd grader’s. I’m fine with getting the same item for both classes as long as it’s something most girls and boys of both age groups would like. I prefer to spend as little as possible because I know most likely it’ll just be tossed out anyway, but I have been trying to think of something that might be used/useful. The cute holiday themed pencils with big erasers from Michaels have been vetoed. No food items allowed. Anyone have any ideas??

We’re doing themed socks this year.

Mini play doh or bubbles?

Scholastic book sales were my go to for party favors. We have a scholastic warehouse here- check to see if you have one. Great deals there!

How about:
- origami paper and instructions for a holiday-themed fold
- seed packet and small Terra Cotta pot


Are you doing a craft at all, or is it just handing out stuff at the end?

Stress balls (or just mini balls), fidget cubes, bookmarks, scented markers, fun shaped erasers.

for Halloween, we did mini slinky and mini rubic's cube, and both went over well, for all ages. (Parents thought it was cool, too!)

Mini flashlights are fun

dot to dot book or a small squishmallow. Five Below is a good place to shop and Costco has an 8 pack of 5" squishmalllows
