Need ideas for goodie bags for 5 year old birthday

[TanyaS]

I am a big fan of books for goodie prizes, especially for this age (beginning readers). I'll try to match the book to the party theme, for example I gave the Little Golden book version of Peter Pan for DD's Peter Pan themed party and I gave "Good Night, Good Knight" for her castle themed party.

I figure parents often end up spending at least $3 or $4 on dollar store junk for goodie bags, so I'd rather give something that won't end up just cluttering the minivan floor mats.

I wrap the books in tissue paper, and the kids seem happy to have present to take out the door with them.

my favorite would be 1 x $5 thing than a bag of just for the same $5. I do like the book idea. We got good quality sandpails. Good bubble things...and of course some sort of sweet thing.

This 5 year old post was pulled up by a spammer that has been reported--I am sure this now almost 11 year old probably doesn't want any Golden Books

Good catch!

Aw, come on. Your tweens don't still love the Little Golden Books? Maybe The Poky Little Puppy?
