I'm still waiting on packages from a couple of previous swaps, but I'd love to play if I have something on someones list. I love swaps.

My iso - wahm stuff is always welcome

For Kathryn

clothing size 4/5 or 100/110cm We're not super picky as long as the clothes are in good condition. Just no jeans or overalls please (makes it too hard when going potty )

She is really into letters, phonics and spelling words, so a set of wooden or magnetic letters of some kind would be great.

anything My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Blues Clues

vhs or dvds for a 3 yo - copies are fine.
Newer Blues Clues with Joe (we have lots of the older ones) other titles that a 3yo girl might like.

computer games that a 3yo might like especially Blues Clues, Dora, Barney, Thomas, Leap Frog, Jump Start preschool or Kindergarten, etc Something that lets you make words would be great.
