Toy Swap
While some kids are content to play with the same garbage truck for months on end, most tots like a little variety. A toy swap or craft supply swap, even a temporary one, can make a great playdate activity. Everyone goes home with a “new” toy and no money is exchanged. Toy swaps are also a good basic lesson in recycling for kids. And we know it might not be the go-to fun activity, but having kids weed through their old toys is a great way to get them used to the idea of donating toys to charity (and a sneaky way to help Mom and Dad clean up). Kids will be pleased and surprised to discover some of their lost, misplaced, and forgotten toys. Getting housework that’s been on your to-do list for months and helping your little one rediscover her favorite babydoll - priceless.
These are absolutely fantastic!
