Please help me with a nursery fundraiser!

[ImpatientlyWaitingForSummer]

My oldest is only two so I don’t have lots of experience with nursery related “events”, but I’ve volunteered to help out at my children’s nursery fundraiser and provide cakes for the bake sale and prizes for the tombola. I was thinking rice crispies cakes and mini banana bread cakes for the fundraiser (easy to put in tupperware and won’t rattle in the car!) does that sound like the sort of thing you’d expect at nursery fundraisers? For the tombola I have no idea! They’re prizes for both adults and children, are these sort of things normally big, medium or small prizes? Please give me some ideas! Hopefully I’ll be more clued up by the time my daughter starts 😅

At church fundraiser whole cakes sell really well - things like whole victoria sponge or loaf cakes as people like to buy a whole cake to take home for tea. Small cakes with buttercream or icing always sell well and if you provide some lunch-type bags people can choose a selection to take home.

With tombola - for kids why not wrap up 'surprise' toys for kids so if they pick out a winning ticket - they have a lucky dip - things like colouring books, stickers, bouncy ball etc.

Don't people donate tat for tombola prizes? Unwanted hand lotions from Christmas, naff photo frames, mugs that don't match the rest etc.

Do a chocolate tombola and ask for donations! Or collect jars and fill them with random bits, rubbers, hair bobbles, sweets etc and do a jar tombola. Water or wine, basically bottle bags with either bottles of wine or bottles of water in them.

You need to ask for donated prizes for the tombola. Or it will cost you a fortune.

Gosh I’m so glad I posted, thank you for the replies. I would’ve ended up with much bigger prizes for the tombola (maybe I’m thinking more of a raffle), so this helps a lot. I must’ve been to/seen tombolas but not since I was a child so it makes a lot more sense now as to what I should be giving - thanks for the help!
