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.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

"We had a 'no-slumber' party that started at 5 p.m. All the dancing, glamorizing, and crafts were over in time for girls to sleep at their own houses."
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."
