This is essentially a go-to travel toy we use to keep our kid's imaginations occupied in coffee shops, restaurants, parks and at friend's houses. Use your imagination on what to put inside, but if you need a start - here's what's in ours.
What You Need
1 large toy container with a handled-lid
1 small box of crayons (we take home the crayons from restaurants)
1 small sketch pad
Stickers
Small books (we put the books we get from the Chick-fil-A kid's meals)
Various vehicle toys (2 matchbox cars, 1 plastic german toy truck)
Various toys & characters from McDonald Kid's Meals
Pinecones
A jingle Bell
Bubbles
Balls
Mini pop-beads - enough to make a couple bracelets and necklace
Make It
Combine everything together and go! I rotate out toys as they lose interest in playing with them so there's always something fun & new inside. Also, we keep it in the car so we're always ready to play!
