Monday made: Party packs

We just celebrated Junior J's birthday on Sunday with a whole bunch of friends... Am still editing and going through the photos, so I thought I'd leave "Weekend wanderings" til tomorrow, and just ramble a little about the little "party packs" we did for our guests for the party.  I remember how I used to love to attend parties as a kid and we'd get all sorts of yummy stuff in a bag... so for the kids I tried to pack some healthier snacks (since I know some mummies would be particular about the snacks their kids get to eat), along with some useful stuff to take home.

:: So for the kids they got this in a bag (sealed with a little thank-you note which Junior J wrote while I held his hand):

Little personalized sketch books for doodling, which I covered with some patterned paper,
and some jumbo washable crayons... along with munchies (raisins), and a drink (soy milk).
The girls got flowery books, the boys, polka dots. :)

:: Then there was one little 3 month old baby too.  Too young for snacks, and too young for doodling.  So this went in a little paper bag for her:

A bunch of cubes.  Some plain wood ones, which would be safe to mouth, and some covered with patterned paper (I used Sassfrass for this), and sealed with PVA glue, aka mod podge, which is supposed to be non-toxic...

Then I didn't want to leave the adults out, so they got this:

Paper bags filled with some sachets of herbal infusions and tea, sealed with a thank you note.
Again, I got the little boy to "write" the notes, while holding his hand.  Oddly enough, he was willing to write
those notes, almost 40 of them, after I explained what they were for... but I had to split the writing up across a whole week. :) 

I was hoping to teach Junior J how to thank others, so I hope writing those notes is a start.  He got to give them to the guests and say "thank you por comin" too... :)  I hope they liked the little packs!

What other stuff do you put in your party packs?
