By the sounds of it you enough to keep them going for an hour as it is.

How about shrinkies fridge magnets or a small hamas bead design.

Loads of ideas on this site, it's the disney one http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftSearch

Hope the party goes well.

Crikey if you get all that done in the time allotted I'd give yourself a shiny.

Good luck.

30 kids? You're bonkers, it's gonna cost a fortune. I hate kids parties and mine only had them till they were 7 :cheesy: Isobel has had two parties and I had Jo Jingles for both of them - job done ;)
Hope it goes well for you though you've obviously put lots of time and effort into it.

At dd's parties, I always buy a pack of paper bags with handles and get them to start by decorating their own party/prize bag. This year they also made their own party crowns and we a dancing competition wearing them.

Like the crowns idea!!

I'm fortunate to have some good sisters, grandmothers and school mums roped in to help me out!! (Well this time around - won't tell you what happened the last time when everyone disappeared on me!!)
