When my kids (ages 4 & 2) are invited to a birthday party (which seems to be every other weekend) they make the birthday card for their friend. Not only does it save a few bucks, but it is truly fun for them – they keep busy for 10 minutes, and it is really nice to give something handmade to the birthday boy or girl. And now, at Michael’s, I have discovered kraft paper bags in a variety of sizes for CHEAP. The large one we bought in the photo was 99 cents. And honestly, I am going to start doing this to save money, because by the time you finish buying the wrapping paper/bag, ribbon, tissue, etc. it costs about as much as the toy! Anyway, I had the girls paint the bags and they had a blast, so this is going to be our new move... everything but the toy – handmade.
