Dragon pinata



King and Queen cut outs
Lootbags

Taking advantage of the photo cuts, I took a photo of each child with the cut out. While the kids were taking the guided tour I printed out each photo with my portable photo printer. I picked up red and blue foam 4 x 6 picture frames from walmart. Very affordable-a pack of 2 costs $3.50. I put the pictures inside the frames for the kids and tucked them inside their lootbags. Inside the bags, I put a handful of foam craft stickers-castles, stars, swirls, hearts, so the kids could decorate the frames at home. I also threw in a handful of candy. After all, what's a lootbag without candy?
