Mom’s Rainy Day Box - Ages 5-13 - US only

After being snowed in over the weekend with my 3 year old grandson, I realized what I need (besides patience) is a Rainy Day Box! A Rainy Day Box is a box of goodies that will keep kids occupied when they can’t get outside to play. It can contain items like coloring book and crayons, small dolls or cars, small plastic animals, a small craft kit, beads for stringing, anything that will keep those kids busy and out of Mom’s hair. Also include a letter from your child about what they like to do on rainy days. The letter can be written and illustrated by your child or dictated to you and illustrated by your child.

You will have 1 partner. Value of the box should be $10. Try for at least 5 different items in the box. Items for the box should be new, but can include handmade items, i.e., a handmade dolly, an age appropriate craft kit, a hand decorated journal for older kids. Please keep in mind that you may have to send a box appropriate to more than one age/gender, so you may have to include items for boy & girl, or a 5 year old and a 10 year old, as examples. The TOTAL spent should still be $10.00.

Because this swap is for our kids, I’ll be checking ratings, swap history and swap comments before assigning partners.

Please post below with age, gender and general preference of your child.
