No birthday party is complete without favors, and these baseball-themed treats are sure to make guests smile. Fill cellophane bags halfway with chocolate baseballs, baseball gum balls, Tootsie rolls, baseball-bat taffy lollipops, wax soda bottles, and Smarties; then toss in a pack of baseball cards, a whistle and lanyard, and a bottle of Glovolium.
Fold over the top of each bag, and secure with a sticker; use plain white round labels, and with a red felt pen, draw two arced lines on each, mimicking the stitching on a baseball. Stamp the stickers with each child's name (the names can also be handwritten), and display the goody bags in a basket near the door, so guests can take them on their way out.
Glovolium (a professional glove treatment product) is an engenious idea for a baseball party favor. If you want to limit the candy, give a whiffle ball and bat.
Another fun option for baseball party favors is the Ballpark Bunt Box from the Cooperstown Cookie Company. www.cooperstowncookie.com. The animal-cracker type box has fun baseball graphics, a picture find, and is filled with yummy baseball cookies.
