LEGO Party Favor New Pricing!

It's hard to find good party favors for a good price. You don't want to spend good money on junky trinkets that will go into the garbage as soon as the kids get home (or at least I don't!). I found a great solution to this problem: Crayons! They work well for a variety of ages from babies to toddlers to school age children. Star shapes are fun and easy for even small hands to grasp. As party favors, star crayons work for any party, any holiday, pretty much any occasion.

And now...I am happy to announce even BETTER prices on my LEGO party favor sets. A Party Favor Set for 10 will include 10 individually packaged LEGO brick/LEGO figure shaped crayons in any combination of bricks/figures AND colors you want. And it will come to your mailbox for $25 - that price includes shipping!

Need more (or less) than 10 sets for your party? Contact me for an adjusted price rate.

Introducing Purple Camo!

So I have done some really cute custom party favors lately and just wanted to put some pictures up of them. Two of them include a new color "Purple Camo" that I created as a girly color, but quickly found out that Purple Camo appeals to boys too - based on the fact that my 6 year old son loved it.

I'm thinking that purple is one of those colors that work for either gender. I know several little boys who like PINK too - and I think that is great. Pink is a very nice color, my personal favorite!

Keep the requests coming, everyone, I'm having fun experimenting with color combos and seeing the cute results.

June News

Just wanted to do a quick post. Summer is passing by so quickly and I haven't tried anything new with crayons yet since just doing the "old" stuff is keeping me busy for now. Once school starts up again in a few weeks, I'm going to try to add some different inventory such as Alphabet Crayons. I am looking for just the right molds to use and having a hard time finding exactly what I'm looking for.

Anyways -- just wanted to check in and say I'm here! Always ready for new orders at nicolebang@gmail.com Thanks!

Lego Shaped Party Favors Galore

I've been keeping busy on the party circuit lately - not just birthdays, but end-of-the-year school parties and such. I have made lots of bricks and minifigures this past month and have had so much fun just thinking about the kids who will be so excited when they realize what they are getting. I know my own kids LOVE these, so I can only hope other kids react the same way. It's the whole reason I started my "crayon obsession" as my husband has started calling it.

Here are a few pictures of this past week's send-outs. Each one was a custom order that included sets made for the boys and sets made for the girls. I have to admit, I love making PINK bricks the most. And, yes, I realize I need to take a few photography classes - sorry that my pictures are either too bright or too shadowy.

I'm thinking about making a mini-favor size (2 bricks per package OR 2 figures per package OR 1 brick, 1 figure per package). Although I personally like to think in the case of crayons, "more is better," but I also know that for the cost-conscious party host, a set of 2 crayons for only $1 could be just perfect for adding to the goodie bag without breaking the budget. It could also be good Halloween treats, school prizes, etc.
Opinions, anyone? I aim to please!

And now there are 10 colors per "classic" set

Somehow in my haste to make bricks and get a set together, I skipped the color BROWN. I realized it right away, but have only just now taken the time to edit things on my listings and add a new picture with a set of 10 bricks in "classic" colors that includes brown. Sorry, Mr. Brown, didn't meant to leave ya out.

Patriotic Stars = Fourth of July Fun!

Star Shaped Crayons are so much fun! I recently made this color combo of Red, White, and Blue especially for 4th of July party favors, table decorations, and more. These would be so cute at adults or kids tables set with white butcher block paper tablecloths or even paper placemats that would be perfect for scribbling on during party time.

Star Shaped Crayons are great for toddler hands to grasp since they are chunky. Kids love coloring with the different "spokes" of the star.

Star Shaped Crayons can be made in any color combination - most popular so far is the "Rainbow" colors - you get all the colors of the rainbow in one fun Star!
