What to put in 4 kids activity bags for the reception?

I also posted this on '09 board, but in case any '08 brides did this..

2 of the kids are the Ring Bearer and Flower Girl (age 5). They are each getting a personalized Puzzle with their names on it that comes unassembled in a black velore draw-string bag. Then the other 2 kids are their 1st cousins (both young girls around 5-7) The 1 boy is 6-7-ish.

So what can I put in their 4 activity bags? The FG and RB will have their puzzle, then I'm thinking all 4 kids will get:

1) Activity book/coloring book
2) Box of Crayons each

Anything else that is good for all 4 of them?

TIA!

(I'll throw a little candy into the bags the day before the wedding so its fresh - just want to get the rest of it done now.)

I'd suggest getting Color Wonder (where the markers only work in those books) so that way everyone isn't accidentally writing all over eachother/their dressup clothes. HTH

get those magic pens...where you color in the pages and then they turn color but the pen has no colored ink. those are fabulously fun

just go to the dollar tree and raid the toy aisle !!

Stickers. Kids love them! And, they aren't messy.

See what things Michael's has as fillers.

I got my nephew a small boxed magic kit and my niece got two princess puzzles. This was in addition to crayons, coloring books and a doodle pad.
Small (travel sized) etch-a-sketch are also good.
Travel sized games are another thing.

Wikki Sticks (or Bendaroos)
its waxy coated colored yarn that can be bent into shapes and figures. Kids love them and they are not messy. I've seen them in Walgreens, possibly target and stores that sell kid's crafty stuff. Toys r us may carry them.
