Get Arty for Their Next Birthday Party

JeanneSager — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:35:00 GMT

If you're all about sending your kids' party guests home with something that kept them occupied through the party, you'll be stocking up at Wallaroo.

The company known for suiting up moms, dads and kids with hats has an Art Hat for kids to get their crafty out.

The cute microfiber sunhats come packed with six non-toxic paints and a brush, so the kids don't need to fight over a collective set of paints. The hats themselves are UPF 50 plus to protect the kids from the sun's damaging rays, while the little drawstring pouch they come in can be stuffed with a thank you card from the birthday kid or a few tchotchkes to celebrate the day. Or you can just call it a day with the hat, the paints and the brush - a full goodie bag, and you didn't have to spend a day hitting up craft and dollar stores to get it done.

Get them for $20 at Wallaroo Hats.

These Party Cups Will Be the Hit of the Party

I've purchased the slightly more "adult" version of these cups (after the jump) for a party myself, but I see no reason why kids can't get in on the action with their very own Pick Your Animal Nose Cup ($8 for 24, 12-ounce cups). In fact, these are the kind of cups that just might make your birthday party way cooler than that party with the pony. And while you're picking up silly drink cups, do make sure to get some of the Pick Your Nose cups ($9 for 24, 12-ounce cups) for your own partay.
