These thoughtful party bags are a simple, kind and affordable gesture for larger groups of children with no plastic in sight! Kids will love to take home their unique Newspaper Bags which they can reuse and their very own seeds to grow and give them weeks of fun watching the seedlings sprout and the bees feeding from the flowers. They can complete the game on the back of the eco hero card and learn about how we can all help our planet. Sometimes the simplest things are the sweetest and we think these bags are just that.
Seeds – the packet is made from recycled paper and is its self fully recyclable. I get our seeds from a UK supplier and so all of the wildflower seeds are of native UK origin. They do not buy them in from Europe where the mixes are not entirely of British species. We only supply seeds that are of British wildflowers, and therefore suitable for our climate and insects.
Eco Hero Card – Bright and fun card that comes with a word search game and easy ways kids can help be eco-heros
Party Bag – Our newspaper bags are made by an NGO whose main objective is to provide education and shelter to street children. This eco-friendly product is made from recycled Indian newspaper. The organisation was started in 2004 by street children who wanted to give something back in return for the opportunities which had allowed them to escape desperate circumstances. These elder children, now with children of their own, generate an income by making newspaper bags and jute items. This allows them to take care of the children that they have taken in from the streets surrounding New Delhi train station. Support for this wonderful project means that these children can enjoy going to school and playing, rather than pulling rickshaws, shoe polishing, rag picking and worse.
The newspapers are either in Indian language or English. They are made from recycled newspapers, this is why sometimes your bag will have a completed crossword!

I ordered these party bags for my sons 2nd Birthday party as I’m trying to be more eco friendly, reduce my single use plastic consumption and these bags really tick all the boxes. Not only are you helping the environment with reusing old newspapers, planting the bee/butterfly friendly seeds and promoting to young and old alike at the party the importance of looking after the planet (with the handy card inside the bags) you’re also contributing to help homeless children in India. What a brilliant concept. I would also like to thank Emeline who posted these out first class so they arrived in time (without me asking her to) and processed a refund promptly (I’d double ordered accidently) and left a lovely message inside the box wish my little boy a happy birthday, which made me smile. I couldn’t recommend this company or these cute little bags more highly enough (fantastically made by the way – I don’t know how they’ve made these into bags and they’re strong too and hold all my party goodies in there no problem!). I’ll certainly be ordering more in the future – and I think these will be a talking point of my sons special day – thank you

I just love these bags which I ordered for my sons 11th Birthday party. I especially loved that these eco friendly bags are providing a living to the street children in India. Great having the little packs of seeds to help the bees too. Great customer service from Emilene also. Can’t recommend them high enough.
