{inspired by} dinosaur goodie bags by artistmotherteacher.com

How adorable are these dinosaur goodie bags we spotted on a gorgeous blog we just discovered ... artistmotherteacher.com

So sweet & simple...we just love them! Filled with lots of dinosaur goodies, presented in a simple clear bag and made with love...what little dinosaur hunter wouldn't love this thank you gift? And best of all ....not too many lollies!

Holly created gorgeous handmade colouring books,

individually packaged 'dinosaur eggs' (cadbury bird eggs),

 

and we especially love these little packs of crayons tied with coordinating ribbon!
