Paper Party Straws

Once kids discover straws, they don’t want to sip their milk with anything else again — but if you cringe at the idea of all those spent sippers sitting in a landfill, go old-school with these Paper Party Straws. Colorful and biodegradable, the pixie-stick-styled straws recall the days of soda fountains and their accompanying jerks. Plus, seeing as how this Saturday is National Ice Cream Soda Day, it’s the perfect time to sip a freshly made ice-cream soda with the kiddoes.

$3 per 50-pack from Plastica.
