Thanks to all who replied so far.

The theme is Star Wars, so each kid is already getting a pool-noodle lightsabre. I found 20packs of Crayola sidewalk chalk at Target for $2.12 or so. They are packed with 4 sealed packs of 5 sticks of chalk. I also went to my local Wendy's and asked to buy Jr frosty coupons. The manager just gave me 15. How nice!! So, I have made up loot bags with 5 sticks chalk, fruit roll, koolaid single, and frosty coupon. I also have dum dum suckers and bubble gum. If I have time tomorrow, I will make a pull string type pinata out of cardboard box with the Star Wars logo attached. Otherwise, I'll scratch the pinata idea. We have lots of other games planned.

Any other ideas are welcome!

That is a great idea! That manager was really sweet to do that, too.

Another idea is to get those stick-on glow-in-the-dark stars. Or maybe they would be good for decorations in the house. I always liked those when I was a kid.

That sounds like plenty of stuff to me! I'd call it quits now and just enjoy.

Yeah, I'm with tmsmalley, you've done plenty. Actually I'm of the opinion that they don't need goodie bags. The party is enough.

I always like idea of making a cd of the childs favorite songs or random party songs. You can decorate the cases or sleeves that hold the cd.

We don't do favor bags anymore. My boys send thank you cards with a picture of the child at the party, in most cases with ds(s). We have done favor bags in the past, but they consisted of candy and goodies that came from piρatas. When they were younger i printed a sign that read "Thank you" and they held it that was a cute picture to put on the front of the card. I also used their hand prints since they couldn't write their names.
