winter sport fundraisers kids ideas for kids activities handbands handband fund rasing ideas

School holidays might be over, but why not think ahead and get some ideas and supplies in now! Your first stop is the local library... because not only do they have plenty of books, but movies and often games too. There's often a reading morning once a week and most libraries are online with plenty of good sites in the search engine.

Get some handbands in to use as rewards for jobs done and behaviour that deserves something special. Kids like collecting, so get a series of handbands that will build up to a set and make sure all their friends are in on the game too.

Kids winter sports are starting up soon and if you're in charge... now's the time to start thinking about fundraising. The weekly sausage sizzle is now a lolly cart, ice blocks, chips and more... but what about something healthy, something different to also stick on the counter? You can get reduced rates on higher quantities of handbands with the team motto and in the club's colours. Think about it - it's healthy, advertises the club all over the suburb and is a great collectible for the kids.

The best adventure of them all - let the kids camp out in the back yard in a tent, with a 'midnight feast', a lantern and a torch. Pack them off early enough and they'll be asleep (!!) before you know it and will have had a memorable night. Teach them some card games to play by camp light and give them a board game as well. If you have a portable DVD player, a quiet movie at around 8.30 will have them falling asleep by 9ish. Perfect!

Look up a list of the city farm visits close to where you live and put that on the holiday agenda. Get ready ahead of time with yummy snacks and a simple lunch and make an adventure out of it with a couple of other families. They're often good value for money and it gives the kids something very different to experience. And it's way cheaper than a day at the movies!

Motivation is in the eye of the reader... really.

For custom wristbands, prices depend on quantity and options. Refer to product pages for detailed pricing based on your design and order size. For large orders or inquiries, contact us at 1300-368-980 for competitive quotes.

7.What's the Difference Between Non-Custom & Customised Wristbands?

Non-custom wristbands are ready-to-wear and ship immediately. Customised wristbands, such as custom silicone, Tyvek, and fabric wristbands, require production time, typically dispatched within 8-14 business days with regular shipping or 7-10 business days with express. Minimum order requirements apply for custom items, with expedited production available by contacting the Handband Team to confirm.

8. How Can I Customize My Wristbands?

Handbands can be customised in various ways, including colors, debossing, embossing, and specialty finishes. Debossing involves creating an indented design on the band, while embossing raises the design above the band’s surface. Refer to product pages for more details on customisation options.

9. Are Specialty Colours Available?

Yes! Specialty silicone colors and patterns are available for quantities over 30. Additional processing time may apply for specialty colors. For further details, please check the product pages.

10. What Is "Debossing"?

Debossing is a process where your text or design is indented into the silicone band, creating a durable and long-lasting design that won’t rub off over time. It’s our most popular customisation method.

11. Can I Order Different Colours & Sayings in One Batch?

Each design or message must be added to the shopping cart separately. For example, if you want wristbands with different colors or messages, each needs to be added as a separate product in the cart.

12. What Are the Minimum Order Quantities?

Non-custom wristbands require a minimum order value of $10. Custom products have varying minimums based on type. Silicone wristbands start at 7 units, while larger orders may have higher minimums. Refer to product details pages for more information.
