Train Party - Goodies/treats

At the beginning of the party each kid got a little 'package' to start the fun.
In each bandana was a engineers hat and a train whistle. Many decided not to wear the hat or scarf while they played but they sure loved those whistles!
My eldest, no surprise, wanted to wear the whole costume. We're all about costumes round these parts. While they were leaving my sister (my lifesaver and best helper ever) set out empty goodie bags, fun treats, and even a cookie with their names on it for the road. To set it all out on we used an old shelf thing of my grandmothers, she says it's a antique kid desk. It is not the prettiest color and clashed but we did our best and covered it with a sheet that worked out well. I'm starting to like that shelf thing and think I have another painting projects on my list of things to do!
Mostly I just got treats with the matching colors and printed off the other stuff from my printable party then I taped them on bamboo skewers. Simple. I used random jars around the house and a vase. For the lolly pops I had a flower pot I used with some styrofoam left over from a shower I did a while back. These sweet jars came from the dollar store. I love them and am totally using them again. Also the candy was pretty easy because there is a lot of red, white and blue colored things around for the forth of July (I totally planned that so that will also be helpful for my others son's party who is using similar colors) I used red paper lunch bags which I had from V-day.
And personalized cookies. These were the best sugar cookies I've ever made. Seriously. All the little kids love the idea of having a 'candy bar' and filling there bags. Especially my boys, who got to have it up for a couple days (it's kind of gated off so it at least wasn't a complete free for all.) Here's the birthday boy sneaking a treat. Don't worry, we brushed a ton that weekend.
I love spoiling little kids! Also as a side note I had a number of favors and treats left over so I am planning on sending some to cousins and other friends who weren't able to attend.
