Ok, I have a brother age 6 and a sister age 8. I am putting together a 'Boredom Buster' basket. It will include the following:
-A basket found in the back of my closet~FREE
-An Arts & Craft book that we've never used (re-gift)~FREE
-I am making 2 geoboards (wood,nails,rubber bands)~$7
-2 Crayola activity sets from Dollar Tree~ $2
-Girly ceramic paint set from Dollar Tree~$1
-Kritter Creations (from post on this board) includes
ompoms~$1
chenille stems~$1.50, styrofoam balls~ 1.88, googly eyes~.75
-I am also going to put a jar filled with dry ingredients to make gingerbread cookies, and a small jar with the molasses in it.~almost free, I have everything already.
- I am looking for a mancala game cheaply-can't convince dh to make this for me.
Can you think of something cheap or free that would make this gift even better. I think I am just about done, but anymore ideas would be great!!
