Tips & Warnings

• If you are a room mother and the treats are for a party, send parents a list home and ask them to send in specific types of treats or party favors.
• If you are hosting a children's party buy odd and end items from the local dollar store. No need to break the bank for party treats. They only last a day, so make it a fun item or gift certificate.
• Find out if there are food or latex allergies in any of the school children. You may have to make 'special' buckets with safe treats for these children. Let parents know there are allergies in the class so they won't send those kinds of treats to school.
