I am looking for some products ideas - perhaps geared toward kids - for a PTA carnival. Things the kids and/or parents could try out like the EAD or the decorating tubes or cuta nd seal - What do you think?? Any ideas
 
Try the Apple/Peeler/Corer/Slicer. My daughter loved using this. Or the creative cutters with playdough or cheese slices. The quick stir pitcher for making kool-aid. The kids cookie making set, with the kids apron and chef's hat. Flour/sugar shaker with cinnamon/sugar in for easy use with morning toast.

Make sure to put some confetti or something similar in the QS pitcher with some water and keep it plunged to attract the kids, they will want to run over and make it twirl again.
 
Have a drawing to get the parents in. Do most for kids, but have something for the adults. You never know, your other recruits that will make you a director could be there!
