Party bag fillers for under 2's any ideas?

44 replies

threeplusmum · 07/03/2023 20:03

My daughter is having her 4th birthday party on Saturday and most of the kids attending will be around her age, I've managed to get some age appropriate party bag fillers for their party bags but there will also be a few under 2's who are siblings of kids attending or cousins of my daughter. I don't want to leave them without a party bag to take home but have no idea what I can fill theirs with. Any ideas? I'm very safety conscious about it all.

I did all of them sun flowers seeds, small amount of compost and a pot - then they watched it grow!

A lanka kade wooden animal? Wouldn’t need much else - they’re lovely and suitable from 10 months. Does the party have a theme?

BluetheBear · 07/03/2023 20:15

I'm not sure stickers are suitable for under 2s

Id say a book (you can get mini board books), bubbles, wooden animals, crayons

Thanks for the suggestions, looking on Amazon as we speak.

You'd be surprised at how many things are unsuitable for under 2's.

Go to a big Asda. They have a whole aisle of party bag tat. Kids love it.

There is nothing in the world that a toddler loves more than a balloon.

Either get the sticks and give them one of those along with a slice of cake or get one of those foil balloons that's animal shaped with legs so it looks like it's walking when you drag it on the floor

Nice idea but don't think the restaurant will allow those kind of balloons.

Sadly the nearest Asda is miles away, I'm heavily pregnant so doing everything online until the big day. So much stress!

My nearly 2 yr old got an Ella’s kitchen fruit pouch in a party bag the other day! She was delighted!

cocksstrideintheevening · 07/03/2023 20:32

Just to be miserable, I wouldn't expect a party bag for a 2 year old. Piece of cake, job done.

Skyeheather · 07/03/2023 20:32

Bath duck or other bath toy like a water squirter, small book, bubble bath, Freddo Frog, fun size chocolate buttons, bubbles

I know, but I don't want those particular kids to feel left out especially if their siblings are getting something.
