Kids packs

I was going to put disposable cameras into the older kids ones.. with a list of what to take pictures of...

Sticker books, small reading books, puzzles...

I'll be interested to see what people come up with as I have 12 kids from 6 months to 13!!

I am going to do the same, we have 5 kids age from 3 -15 i was going to do colouring, stickers, Maybe beads I am lucky because they are all girls and i think they will be easier and the older ones will help the two little ones I am keeping my eye out at the 99p shop to see what they have...I will let you know if I think of anything else

Ahhh, I like the camera idea, and I like the WH Smith (or wherever) book idea. Good plan ladies. Beads sound like a good plan too. Maybe a puzzle of some kind each is good but what would you go for - jigsaws won't work cos you'd have to keep moving them for food etc.

Haha, my nephew is like that. I don't dare ask him for a kiss - I'm a giiiiiiiiiirl

I just bought a load of party favours to fill their bags with, such as mini jigsaw puzzles, magic slate drawing thingies, stickers, crayons/pencils, mini yoyo's, bubbles etc i also got a giant party cracker to put on the kids table which was filled with various 'disguises' and fun party things, i did get a pinata thingy (a pull the string one) but ended up not using it - if you want it you can have it!

It then dawned on me i had two 18 month olds there so did seperate ones for them with specific age related stuff in.

I recently did a camera scavenger hunt for a friend, went really well and kept the kids amused

in the activity bags i did for my wedding...........crayons, little puzzle books, chocolates, little puzzles (the ones where two metal shapes are stuck together and have to be undone) stickers, bracelets for the girls, toy cars for the boys...

This is what im doing. I have the same age range as you

older - have camera

younger have more 'toy' things and colours.

I got most of it from 'party things to go'

Each having white bag to decorate with colours and stickers. this particular bag is for 6yr old, but each have bubbles, puzzle, colours, note pad, stacks of stickers and fiddly bits

I think a trip to Asda is in order here to raid their party bag stuff. They have loads of little bits and pieces like that. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer of the pinata too, however I think this may be attacked by the adults before the poor little ones have chance, lol.

This camera idea is coming on in leaps and bounds isn't it, lol. Hope you ladies don't mind if I pinch it??

Love the 'decorate me' idea too - shame I've already bought the bags!!!!

I love scavenger hunts and quizzes! Why not make a list of things they have to find out as well as photos to take? things like 'find out what flowers are in the bride's bouquet' or 'what year did Auntie Mabel get married'? Should keep them amused for a while. I'm not having too many kids at my wedding - just 3, and they'll be 'helping' anyway.

I have 32 children from 15 months to 11 years invited!! The joys of being a Nanny lol! I will have a whole room for the kids to go to for during the speeches and the rest of the evening if they don't wanna be int he main room. Not sure what I'm gonna put in their kiddy packs yet, I wanted to make a sock monkey for each of them though with a tag as their placename.

Hi.. I am wondering wetehr to buy or make mine.. they sell them on ebay for a reasonable price x

lmao typical adults always spoil the kids fun!!! x

We did bags tailored to the children's ages at our wedding on Saturday - they went down a storm and all the parents commented on them! Make the pound shop, 99p shop, The Works and Sainsburys your best friends!

Older children all had:

A pad of paper

Colouring pencils and sharpener

Bubbles

Sweets (chewits, haribo and lollies)

Activity book

Reading book

Puzzle type games (think pinball maze type games etc)

Younger children had:

A colouring book

Colouring pencils and sharpener

Bubbles

Sweets (chewits, haribo and lollies)

Pad of paper

Story books (think fairies, princesses for girls and dinosaurs etc for boys!)

A recorder (they sell packs for parties in most supermarkets!)

Babies and toddlers had a pack of bubbles (parents to blow for them), a cuddly toy and some choc buttons! x

Puzzle type games (think pinball maze type games etc)

Can you all please tell me where you got your bags from. I can't find any that either don't cost the earth for a paper bag or they are too small to fit a colouring pack (i.e a party bag). I particularly like the papaer ones with string or rope handles.

Thanks

SO what age related things did you put in? We have 4 children coming, two 5 year olds and two 18months. I have NO IDEA what to do for the 18 month old one. Any ideas of things they can have at that age (im clueless when it comes to children, hence us not having any till we're 30, a good 6 years to go yet!)

Rebecca have to admit I'm the same! We have 8 kids coming 2 Two year olds, One four year old, set of twins who are 8 (boy and girl) 10 year old and 12 year old (brothers) oh and a one year old!!

I'm struggling to think what I could do for the 10 year old and 12 year old (btw that's there ages next year at wedding ha!)

Ok just searched in ebay for party bag nad mini colouring books and loads of stuff whoop whoop! Although most come in packs of 12 or more so won't need it all.....maybe some hitchers canget together and share said stuff!?!

In our packs we had reading books, teddies, kites, skittles (the bowling type ones, not the sweets), bubbles, pencils, colouring books and disposable cameras.

For the younger children we had board type books which you can pick up fairly cheaply in The Works or similar, the bubbles and teddy mainly.

The kites / skittles etc were picked up really cheaply in Asda, they were only £1 each. Wilkinsons and most supermarkets do a party bag range which should give you some ideas.
