are they girls or boys?......girls may like to dress up.....face paints and tatoo's......come see me if they are into this i always have that stuff
.....and ask what food they eat coz some kids hate festival food!!....always a good idea to bring a few pot noodles and stuff maybe!!!.

have you ever actually tried to eat a scalding hot melted marshmallow off a stick in the dark?
last year ruby and joe took their diabolo and pois, a book and comic each, some pencils and small activity pads, face paints, pocket money to do their own shopping, um can't remember anything else! small puzzle type things like a rubiks cube are good, swing ball is always a winner. apart from that they just enjoyed seeing bands, playing with other children and mooching about

on a more practical note, sun block and hats, warm hats and gloves and clothes for night time, wellies and waterproofs including trousers if possible, calpol, plasters, old mobile phone for keeping in touch, water bottles, camping chairs
