Mom: Okay, Ivy, let’s start planning your birthday party! What activities do you want to have?
Kid: Hmm, I want a treasure hunt! And we can have some games, like musical chairs and pin the tail on the donkey!
Mom: That sounds like a lot of fun! I’ll make sure we have the treasure hunt set up in the yard. We’ll hide little surprises, and the kids can search for them. I’ll also prepare some music for the musical chairs game.
Kid: Yay! And can we have face painting too?
Mom: Of course! We can set up a little face painting station. You can choose what design you want—maybe a unicorn or a butterfly?
Kid: I want a unicorn! It’s my favorite.
Mom: A unicorn face it is! Now, let’s talk about the goodie bags. What do you want to give to the kids as a thank you for coming?
Kid: Maybe some stickers, small toys, and candy?
Mom: Great idea! I’ll pick up some fun stickers and little toys, and we’ll add some sweet treats to the bags. We can even have some personalized tags with each child’s name.
Kid: But, Mom, why do we need to give everyone a goodie bag if it’s my birthday?
Mom: Well, that’s a great question, Ivy! It’s actually a tradition at birthday parties to give out goodie bags as a way to thank everyone for coming and celebrating with you. It’s a way of showing appreciation for their time and friendship. It’s also a nice gesture to make sure the guests have something to remember the party by!
Kid: Oh, that makes sense! I think the kids will love the goodie bags.
Mom: I’m sure they will! Now, let’s make sure we get everything ready before the big day.
