Rainbow Crayon Class Party Favor

L is celebrating her 5th birthday at school today. The public schools have put pretty stringent rules on what you can and can not bring in. No more homemade baked goods. They encourage non-edible items be sent in. I reluctantly went along with this but still needed to sneak in some homemade craftiness.

The theme for L's birthday is Rainbows and Crayons. She couldn't decide between the two so we did both.

 
Everyone in the class gets 5 crayons for L's 5th birthday. Her name is signed on the back of the tag.

If you would like to make you own, I am including images for the two printables I created. One general and the one shown above for 5 year olds.

  
Click on the image you want and it will appear full size. Right click on your mouse and select print. 

I have a ton of little lollipop bags. I bought 4 packs of 24 crayons for .40 cents each and put 5 crayons in each bag. Since the bags needed to lay horizontally, I taped the end closed with clear packing tape.  Each rainbow card was folded over on top so I could sandwich the extra plastic from the baggies inside and then staple it all together.

 
Smooth white cardstock works really well for this project.

 
For all the materials used, these ended up costing me about .20 cents per favor. Cute huh!?

Stay tuned for more rainbow crayon birthday ideas this week.

Thanks for stopping by Fakin It!!
