| This year I did play-doh and some scratch art pads. I like bubbles, sidewalk chalk, crayons, etc- art things and things that can be used to play outside are good. I also did an "animal theme" one year that had a felt animal mask and an animal board book. |

I hate goody bags but my kids LOVE them and it's really not that big of a deal to make the plastic shit disappear after a few days. Plus, at the age of 4 your kid probably will know that other kids do this and if he/she doesn't that might engender some challenging feelings.
This year I plan to take my kid (turning 6) to Party City or Target and have him pick out 5 things from the "small junk" aisles. Bubbles, little slinkys, stickers, candy, bags of mini cookies... it's not hard. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. |

The Little Dover Activity books are great. $1.50 a piece and once done you can throw it away. Those sticker activity books got us through many a restaurant meal (pre COVID)
