"Now I'm going to talk about different Christmas party favors that are easy for kids to make for their friends. Different things that you can do with different gift bags is you can go to the store, you can get just a simple stocking and you can let the kids decorate it. Either you can let the par, child hosting the party put all their friends names on there or you can make it into an activity during the party that they get to make it themselves and then you can just pack it with a few goodies before they leave. Another great idea is to take just a little gift bag or you can take some construction paper and use a stencil to put the child's initials or their name on there so that way it makes it special so that when they're leaving, they know they can grab the bag with their name on it. And this is a great way for the kid to feel included in the party preparations by putting their friend's names on there. Another great thing for a party favor is something that a kid can use later so things like barrettes and hair bows are great for little girls and they're really easy to make. You can just take some festive ribbon and you can use either a normal hair tie or you can get plain barrettes at a craft store and let the children decorate it themselves. It's really fun. Just get lots of different kinds of ribbons and they're really easy. You just take the ribbon and tie it onto the hair band or open up the barrette and you're going to tie it in between this part of the barrette and the, you'll tie it around the main part of the barrette and you can put as many different ribbons on there as you'd like and then the child can wear it in their hair on their way home or you can stuff it in the bag for later. So those are a few great party favors that kids can make themselves for Christmas parties. Thanks, and have fun!"
