Birthday Blast Bag

Why

Plan a birthday party—or any party—that’s a blast from start to finish! Bring on the creativity and the treats with one easy, fun craft!


Steps

1. Making a party goodie bag is a perfect way to start your birthday party. Why not have craft supplies that highlight your party’s theme ready for your guests as they arrive? They’ll probably know just what to do, but here are a few hints.

2. With Crayola® Scissors, cut out party shapes from construction paper and gift wrap, such as spirals and swirls. Fold accordion strips for pop-ups. Cut confetti! Encourage guests to be imaginative. Glue on decorations with Crayola Glue Sticks.

3. Decorate the bag and decorations with Crayola Gel Markers and Twistables. Add your name before you put your treats inside.

Geoffrey W., father of 10-year-old.

"Decorating bags was the only unstructured party time. Kids got to know one another before the entertainment began. Next time, we’ll do more crafts."
