Everyone got a backpack and map when they arrived at the party. The paper sacks were for the babies. The backpacks had a compass, spyglass, maraca, Dora fruit snacks, and a few other goodies to help them on their adventure. They also took home their planting, a felt flower, rubber crocodile, bracelets from the pirate treasure, and pinata candy!
I ordered the backpacks from Oriental Trading and then added the felt faces with felt glue. |
