What to put in a goodie bag for First Birthday?

I am sure this has been asked before and I tried doing a search, but found nothing.

What stuff can I put in there? The kids range from 1 year to 9.

The theme is basball and I was planning on putting the stuff in a popcorn box or bag.

That is a wide range of ages can you break it up into ages 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 ?

1-3 can have stickers, maybe a small pad of paper ( from party city ) and a small box of crayons like they give at restaurants
* I just saw its baseball theme so if you want the favors to match you can do baseball stickers and find little pads shaped like a baseball.

4-6, and 6-9 is easier.. I think you can go to the favor aisle in party city and find lots of fun inexpensive stuff that will work for them!

GL!

I had kids ages 2-13. I put the everything in all the goodie bags and let the parents weed out what they wanted to let their child play with.

I had beach balls, balloon punch balls, stickers, pencils, erasers, fake tatoos, bubbles, yo-yo's, bead necklaces, funny sunglasses, and one piece of candy in each bag. The bags were beach bags that the kids could use again.

They were a hit with all age groups.

I always like coloring books, crayons, sidewalk chalk and bubbles as staples. Then I add certain things to each kids bag depending on their age. For younger kids I add some hard board books (dollar store). For the older kids I would add some jump ropes or outdoor toys. Maybe you could do a whiffle ball set for the older ones.
I usually go to pary city or the dollar store to and see what they have.
