Home Made Happy Meal

For two years now I have made our own version of "happy meals" for my son's birthday parties.

I put hotdog or chicken nuggets, chips, juice drink, small desert and prize in a paper lunch bag.

I also have the kids decorate the bags when they arrive at the party for a nice craft ice breaker. I use stickers of the theme of the party (camp happy meals one year), crayons and markers.

Of course, the kids put their names on them.

The great thing about this meal is the kids are happy with the meal, they don't have to go through a buffet line and balance a plate, they can sit on blankets on the lawn and they actually take time to eat the meal because it is fun.
