What is going in your kids baskets? My 2 youngest are getting and sand buckets with sand toys, sidewalk chalk, bubble guns and a few pieces of candy. My oldest has a little basket with some candy a video game and sidewalk chalk.
yours sounds exactly like mine. lol I just bought big sand buckets last night with shovels. I'm going to use these as the baskets. Then add some "summer" fun stuff like bubbles, small toys, my oldest will get a small puzzle. a little candy. Maybe some squirt guns. I like to get them stuff that is not really easter themed.
I caved in today about bought Bren a big stuffed frog from Walmart (for $9). It's hiding in the trunk of my car right now. :D
He'll get a little candy and that's about it. Although I love the basket idea you mentioned OP, we could definitely use some new sidewalk chalk or paint and soap bubbles are always a hit.
Haven't finished shopping yet! So far she has 2 books, a coloring book, a chickie cookie and some crayons. I'm making baskets for a few kids so I need to get moving!
A little bit of candy, bubbles, sunglasses, viewmaster reels, a new pack of markers and a pair of slippers. I think that is it. Was really stumped this year, all the normal things we'd usually do like crayons, sidewalk chalk, hair stuff, she has a ton of that stuff. And we jsut got her a bunch of new books through her school. I feel like I forgot something...
A small bit of candy. The rest is mostly littlest petshop stuff. She's wild about littlest petshop! I got her 1 small play set, and 1 $5 package that had a hound dog in it that reminded me of my Brandy dog. She's also getting a LPS stuffed penguin, some sidewalk chalk, and a small egg planter with flowers to plant. I found it in the dollar bin at Target, and it was too cute to pass up. I just hope my black thumb doesn't kill the flowers!
I'll be hitting up the $1 section at Target. I went through it yesterday but didn't buy anything because Griffin was with me. They had animal crackers, goldfish, cotton candy and a few little toys. Plus I'll get him a couple of cars, maybe a new movie. I'm using the same basket from last year so that's how I even it out in my head to get him an extra toy or two. =)
DS is getting "Snow Buddies" (he looooves dogs), 2 books from the $1 section at Target, bubbles, a little egg that grows a daisy in it, and a monkey pillow. Then I'm going to fill some plastic eggs with jelly beans, gold fish, fruit snacks... stuff like that. I want to say I got him something else, but I can't recall right now.
The terrible twos have hit and hit hard and I am out of my realm here!
