- Toy tools and carpentry items, such as plastic pliers, hammer sets, rulers and screwdrivers can be given in Handy Manny goodie bags. A small wood block with wood pegs and a hammer can be given to younger children. To avoid a choking hazard, make sure toy tools are age appropriate for the kids invited to the party.
- No goodie bag is complete without some candy snacks included. Some specialty candy stores sell tool shaped candies, such as gummies, hard candies and suckers. Chocolate candies can be made using melted chocolate and tool candy molds.
- Handy Manny sticker sheets can be found at gift shops or party stores that sell birthday party accessories. Include a sticker sheet or section of a sheet in each child’s bag. Small sticker books and coloring books themed around tools may also be included. If Handy Manny stickers cannot be found, stickers of tools, workbenches and construction vehicles can be used instead.
- Toy building block companies sell smaller box sets featuring a single project and blocks. These smaller boxes are inexpensive and can be given at a birthday party with some older kids in attendance. Some of these companies also offer larger sized blocks for younger kids.
- The Handy Manny show can be found on DVD featuring different episodes of the show. Depending upon your budget and number of guests at the party, include a DVD in the goodie bag. Check sale bins or online to find these DVDs at discounted prices.
