DIY Party Favors (with Pom Pom Catapult)

In India "Party Favors" are called "Return Gifts" which probably makes more sense, why is it called favor? but then, are you returning the gift? huh. weird.

Anyways, the quickest DIY Party Favours are Pom Pom Catapults, as they take only a few minutes to put together. As it was a Minions theme occasion I did contemplate all yellow with a minion eye & all. But as I'm as practical as can be, I just use multi                                                          coloured jumbo craft sticks instead of painting em all yellow ... They're cute in any color! 

Pom Pom Catapult can be made by tying up a few craft sticks with rubber bands, and pasting a bottle cap on one end.

To play, place a pom on the tiny cap. I left a bit of space beyond the cup, so my kid could place his pointer finger on the edge, while the other hand holds down the catapult to the ground. When left, the pom springs into action and lands a few feet away!

Other assorted goodies we added to the minions bag : two tiny snickers (I hate given a lot of chocolate to kids, tiny ones are great!), two yellow balloons, a Minions puzzle & a Magnifying Glass. 

Until later! Stay in touch!
