    Hi all

    We're having a few children to the day of our wedding and I'm trying to find things to keep them entertained during the breakfast. We were going to make our own activity packs with puzzles etc to keep them quiet, but we've since found out that our venue doesn't allow crayons/pencils/pens of any kind on the tables :(

    Does anyone have any ideas on things we could give them that doesn't involve needing colouring pencils?xx

    The £1 shop do some great crafts that don't use pencils/crayons ect, like the fuzzy felt pictures, and foam flower making for older children, or you could give older children so origami instructions and card and see what they can come up with. Alternatively, can't you ask your venue if you supply the table cloth then they could have colouring pencils at least. We've got a few younger children at our wedding, including my daughter and we're due to look at a venue this week, so it's a good question to ask about crayons whilst we're there :) x

    How about etch a sketch and those aqua magic mats.
    You can draw on them with a water filled pen, surely these would be allowed. Then when it dries its a fresh canvas to start on again :)

    We had bubbles as favours for them to play with as well as colouring. Those usually go down well. Or what about K1nder Eggs with the toys for them to make up.
