[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With that age it’s helpful to have a party favor to signal “it’s time to go.” We usually did early reader books — I got the bundles from the school monthly scholastic order. One year I did watering cans plus flower seeds because I think most kids that age like to help with watering plants. Another year I did big frosted cookies matched to the theme for take home.[/quote] Ha! My son who is this age knows the exit plan: find the birthday kid and say, “happy birthday!” Then find the mom and say, “thank you for the great party!” Which she replies, “ohhhhh you’re so sweet take a goodie bag” and we leave. It’s a win for both moms - party ends, kids leave without a struggle. I also haaaaate junk bags and the ridiculous candy. Watering cans is cute! [/quote]
