My friend K's daughter was having an art birthday party to celebrate turning the big 5. K asked for some ideas for ways to sass up the party and I jumped into motion. The party was being held at a local pottery and art studio, so decor and other needs were minimal. But ... of course, we MUST have favors. K was on a tight budget for the party and asked that I be mindful that this wasn't a red carpet celebrity grab bag. I had just the idea. What could be more fitting and on a budget than a coloring book to go?
The Dish (How To Pull It Off):
- Buy inexpensive coloring books - dollar stores have tons of these, I found adorable Sesame Street birthday ones for this party
- Add colored pencils - you can split a single box between multiple kids
- Add an adorable swirly twirly lollipop in coordinating bright colors
- Tie with ribbon or inexpensive tulle
- Top it off with a personalized tag for each child
A great way to tie it all together is to add a cute phrase on the personalized tag. For this fabulous fete, I added a note reminding the guest to keep their creativity going. It was a cute touch!
