Would your parents/guardians, grandparents and others be interested in purchashing a Summer Holiday activity pack that your fundraising committee puts together?
For a fee to cover costs and to make a small profit for your group these activity packs could be assembled & put together to help you raise much needed funds.
***************
To hold the pack contents use sturdy zip lock bags - that are car journey/trip and outings asfe !!
We have a fabric bag pattern here for you to use - this would add to the overall cost of the bags though -
Stitch Squirrel's storage bag.

If you wanted to take orders before you break up for the holidays parents could put in requests for the bags to have their child's name taped to the front.
