Eco-friendly Party Bags
The best eco party bag fillers are the ones children actually open, use and keep — not the plastic pocket-money toys that end up swept off the table. This collection covers everything for a plastic-free party bag: the bags themselves, sustainable party bag fillers, reusable activities and take-home craft kits, all made from paper, card, recycled materials and wood. UK delivery on every order.
The bags
Start with something you can feel good about. Our paper party bags and colour-in bags are made from card, not plastic. Choose from zoo-themed treat bags, big-top circus bags, or colour-in princess bags that double as a party activity.
Eco party bag fillers children will actually use
Swap the plastic giveaways for non-plastic alternatives that get opened and kept: flower seeds to plant in the garden, a proper notebook, a string game, or a ready-to-use craft kit. Each one is small enough to slot inside a bag and far more satisfying than the usual throwaway toys.
Mini craft kits — the sustainable party bag upgrade
For parties where you want to go the extra mile, our paper craft kits fit neatly inside a bag or stand alone as a take-home gift. Choose from paper plant kits in lavender, succulent and aloe vera, a make-your-own dinosaur finger puppet, or a ReCycleMe kit that turns recycled packaging into a working toy.
Eco party bag ideas for older children
For ages 5 and up, our activity tins, puzzle sets and magic trick collections make brilliant alternatives to traditional party bags — something guests take home and open at the table rather than lose under a car seat. The Easy Peasy Family Fun Tins come in four themed editions; the magic illusion sets are self-contained and genuinely impressive.
Every product in this collection is made from paper, card, metal, wood, or recycled materials — no cheap plastic, no throwaway packaging.
Your questions about eco party bags, answered
What are good eco party bag fillers?
The best options are small, useful items made without plastic: flower seeds, mini notebooks, string games, FSC card tattoo sheets and small wooden toys. Avoid anything in single-use plastic wrap. Aim for 2–3 quality items rather than a bag stuffed with cheap filler.
Are all your party bags plastic-free?
Yes — every product in this collection is made from paper, card, wood, metal or recycled materials. We stock colour-in card bags, paper party bags and recyclable treat boxes. No plastic bags, no plastic packaging.
What can I put in an eco-friendly party bag for a 5-year-old?
Good eco party bag filler ideas for age 5 include: flower seeds, a colour-in bag they fill themselves, temporary tattoos on FSC card, a mini craft kit, or a small wooden game. Our ReCycleMe mini kits are particularly popular for this age group.
What are good party bag alternatives that aren't plastic?
Instead of a traditional party bag, consider a single quality item per child: a paper plant kit, a magic trick set, or an activity tin. These get opened on the day and go home with a purpose — far better than a plastic bag of pocket-money toys.
