 Here's my idea.  I thought it would be fun for Eli to bring little treats/goodie bags when his baby brother is born.  My dad will probably be taking him to preschool and I'm sure that our routine will be a little off, so I think this would help him be excited to go.  I suspect that he's going to be tired and want to stay home - especially with my dad visiting (and later my mom).
 First of all, is this a lame idea?
 Second, if it isn't...what could I put in the bags?  Blue things?  I'm all out of creative ideas.  (that's me being sleepy)

 You mean goodie bags to give to his friends, right?

How about a small baby doll?  The Dollar store here sells some, so you wouldn't have to break the bank.  And then everyone would get to share the excitement of a "new baby"?

 Are they allowed to do candy?  the first thing that came to mind was baby bottle pops...lol.  I have seen lollipops that say it's a boy on it.  other than that....i'm not sure.

 I think its a wonderful idea.  I think it would be cute to put blue and white candies in the bag. Hmmmm...I know right now finding white candies is easy, but I can't think of anything blue. I'll keep my thinking cap on.

 I should add that they wouldn't eat it at preschool, so candy is a good idea.  And I also can't do anything home-baked (not like I'd have time anyway!)

 You could do the blue & white M&M's you can find in the bulk candy section.
That is a cute idea!

 Maybe stickers!

[tinkerbelldani]

 Can it be cupcakes with blue icing?

[pawprints]

 I was going to suggest blue and white M&Ms too. I think you can buy the individual colors in Michael's in the baby shower favors section. They also have blue Hershey's kisses that say "It's a boy" on the little tab that comes out of the top of blue wrapped kisses. I know because I got the pink "It's a girl" ones for my dd's baby shower. You can buy a few bags of them and then get little baby blocks or booties or even little blue bags and put a few kisses or a bunch of the M&Ms in each of them. They have all that stuff at Michael's too.

 How about really simple cards that he can hand out that say,

I'm a big brother to __________.  He was born on________

You can print everything you know out now and then fill in the blank for date  later.

Don't forget to send him to school in a Big brother shirt & buy him a gift from baby brother who thinks he's going to be the best big bro when he sees his baby brother for the first time.

 aww, what this a cute idea!!! I guess you're getting really close! I love the M & M idea and the card where he fills out the card saying his brothers name and birthday!

[catsx2]

 What about teddy grahams and yogurt?  Amy I have a simple recipe for a dip that if you want I'll make it and bring it over when the baby arrives for Eli to take it school.

 I think the stickers would be a great idea!

[scrapsakes]

 such a cool idea, it'll make him feel a part of this special day
 in his own way too and he'll have fun memories to remember.

 if you have a party city near you, they have TONS of lil' stuff
 in bulk, so very affordable, but way better than cheap $ ones.

[Shanscraps]

 the vanilla tootsie rolls are wrapped in blue... they have them at the dollar tree.... how about blue jelly beans in a little bag with a tag that says it's a boy.... or if you live somewhere better than me you could probably find blue m&m's, maybe even in the easter section, I noticed Walmart is already putting theirs out....

[jmo95]

 There is also blue blow pops(my fav.) blue jolly ranchers, and blue fun dip....YUMMY. lol  oh and blue pixie stix.   sorry...for some reason candy just took over my brain.

[deerewife]

 One of the kids at Kaitlyn's preschool did this.  She got a pink tootsie roll sucker, some stickers and a little notebook.  It was just put in a clear treat bag.

[justred2u]

 You could do the blue & white M&M's you can find in the bulk candy section.
That is a cute idea!

This was what I was thinking also ... places like Party City will have these bags of M&Ms.  You will be able to find all kinds of things in the larger than normal qty. bags/pkgs. ... the little bags with the twist ties, etc.  I think this would be an awesome idea and believe Eli would too!

Ooops! After reading everyone's else's posts I realize that I made a mistake saying I saw all these things at Michael's... it was Party City... not Michael's. My bad.
