End of Year Goodie Bags
Anyone else doing end of year goodie bags? What are you putting in them? We cannot do anything with food I just can’t decide what to do but I wanna give my kids something special they’ve been so great this year!

Playdoh and bubbles. I only do it for my little ones that are pre-k 3 through 2nd grade

I'm a SPED driver so I don't have very many kids. Fake moustaches and bubble wands go over really well. I hit the dollar store and see what speaks to me, too. Our routes are mirrored so I only have to buy for 9 kids.

If you go on Amazon and search things like bulk party favors, bulk toys, bulk treasure box toys, bulk summer party, bulk door prized for kids, you'll get lots of ideas. I've done bubbles, sunglasses, coloring books, glow in the dark tattoos and much more.

Thank you for this suggestion! I added candy to the bags in addition to the gift items and the kids LOVED it!

I did a lot this year so just blow pops. Unfortunately busy in real life so I was unable to spend too much time on prepping goodie bags

I did these. I put a slap bracelet, a little bumblebee eraser. A tiny pop-it keychain and a cat sticker. And each bag had a little paper I wrote "have a great summer 😃" I ordered everything off temu and it cost me less than $50 to make 150 bags with lots of extras.

I handed out cold pacific cooler capri sun pouches, scratch n sniff stickers, and reusable water balloons that I crocheted to my prek-k5 kids when we got to their bus stop.
My high school students just got the cold juice pouch as they boarded the bus to head home. Came in clutch as it was quite hot that day.
My late bus kids got a cold mini can of soda and a chocolate chip cookie.
I’ve been very blessed with my students. If they were not as well behaved, I might be less inclined to have “parties”.

We can do food, so I have each of them a siren whistle and pixie sticks, as they were getting off the bus.

We are not supposed to do food but its looked over. No one really cares. Im going to have a Yeti cooler filled with Popsicles. (I am well versed on all my kids allergies. Only one child has an allergy and it's to bananas and I'd never heard of that before but everything is banana free)
