Goody bag gift ideas for kids: ready-made crafty party packs
I haven’t thrown that many birthday parties for my kids and it’s like I’m already out of goody bag gift ideas. It might be easier if you have a theme in mind–DIY capes for a a superhero party (we’ve recommended 6 different themes!), a toy boat for a sailboat themed party–but how about when you just want the kids to have something that they’ll enjoy. And uh, that their parents won’t think of as, “oh good. More junk around the house.”
Well now there’s just the thing–crafty, eco-friendly, totally fun, and they’re affordable too.CMP favorite Kiwi Co now offers kids birthday party craft kits giving you a selection of individual, ready-to-go craft boxes with rotating themes like DIY fairy wings, DIY superhero capes like mentioned above, and color-changing slime making kits.

I can’t think of a kid who wouldn’t be excited to go home with something they made themselves, instead of some plastic trinkets from the dollar store.
Bonus: the recycled cardboard box is part of the fun too, becoming a treasure box, or even a dollhouse backdrop for some homemade paper dolls.
Find KiwiCo’s kids party packs of craft packs at their shop. They make awesome goody bag gifts or anytime gifts.
I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house.
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
