The poundshop has multi packs you can split. I got big bags with sparkly bracelets, rings, combs, slides - the gel pens will go down well. Those blower things - popular with parents. They also had six packs of twisty, coloured straws.

tennis balls make a good gift and are usually 3 for a pound in the pound shops

I went to tescos for DD pressies for party bags and prizes, for the pass the parcel prize i got a kite which i think was 99p good quality too and the had sets of 4 bracelets for 48p lots of things like that

again from wilkinson, or tesco, do boxes of 24 chunky crayons for under a pound. split these into 5 or more, and tie with ribbon.

small boxes of raisins - sold in multipacks, so they don't all gorge on choccie.

boots were selling off for under 40p each, scary monster flannels that expand in water - come the size of box of matches

Hi,

My little boy will be two on 6th November and I wanted to mark the occasion by inviting a couple of his little friends around on the Friday afternoon (4th). His family will be around the rest of the weekend.

I just wanted some suggestions as to what format it could take and what sort of things we could do. I wasn't anticipating more than 6 kids max or more than a couple of hours really as they are really only little yet to understand too much about parties.

I want a more traditional party but I will give the kiddies a party bag if I can do a cheapy one for them! (not mean, just sensible!)

Oh and we have a cat so pls noone suggest fireworks even if it is bonfire weekend!!!

Thanks in advance.

My best suggestion is to try the Families Board. There are all sorts of threads on parties that will be off help to you, so I shall move this post across for you shortly.

You could try doing a fancy dress. Turning up as a king, policeman, fireman etc can be as much fun for mum as it is for the kids.

You can get the other mums to help do a pass the parcel etc. All the traditional games that are so much fun.

Although at age 2 I wouldn't expect too much from the event. Set up lots of toys and games, play some fun music and let them have a play time too!
