Birthday Party Supplies That Make Great Favors

Kick up the fun factor at your next birthday event with these birthday party supplies – zoo animal straws! The best part is your guest can use them at the party and take them home as favors.

This is what you'll need to get:

3” cookie cutters of various animals (Substitute other shapes for a different theme.)
Colored construction paper
Pencil
Penknife
Mat cutting board
Plastic drinking straws

This is what you'll need to do:

Take one of your animal cookie cutters and lay it out on the construction paper.
Trace the shape with a pencil and trim with the penknife on top of the mat cutting board.
Mark two parallel 1/2” slits, 3/4” apart with the pencil. Place them in the center of the animal shape.
Cut slits with penknife.
Thread animal shape onto drinking straw so that it is about 3” below the drinking end.
Repeat with the other animal shapes until you have enough birthday party supplies for all your guests.
