I only have four little ones that I know of coming to the wedding. My FI and I decided to make them little goody bags for the reception so they don't get bored. I was thinking coloring books with colors and some type of little game but im not sure what else. Any ideas? The ages range from 4-7... 2 girls and 2 boys.
Re: Favors for Kids
My little 4 year old students have about a 15 minute attention span for coloring. And that's some of the kids. The rest have a shorter tolerance.
I'm not telling you not to get them sticker books, or coloring books. Just don't count on them being used for more than a couple of minutes, if at all. GL
I will also have grenadine for shirley temples/roy rogers for the kids, so they can have their "drinks" too!

Planning Bio
I am setting up the station with hay bales (fall theme wedding) and a large calkboard anchored down as a table top above the hay bales. Chalk will be placed through the kids station for them to draw on the table!!

Oriental Trading has SO much awesome kid friendly crafts! And when you join their mailing list, you will receive coupons which are great!
Kids do have a short attention span, but sometimes they will surprise you when you put stuff in front of them that they really want to do! I did a color-your-own station at a corporate event I planned, and kids of ALL ages were amused for HOURS!! The key is to have variety!
