The items we are really on the lookout for:
Toy Kitchen
Balls (not as much of a priority as we found some at the dollar store)
T-Ball set
Toy car that you pull back and release and it goes. Not small enough to go in a nose (right now everything is tried in Bug's nose)
2T shorts - the foster closet was a bit short on shorts - this is not a giant need, we only need one or two more and we are washing often so we may be fine and Bug likes to run around in her diaper.
2 Kid size towels... the bath towels we have are normal bath size and pretty big. Girly colors, but different.
Optional:
Duplo Blocks (if you have them around or find them at a garage sale - do NOT go out and buy these as they are not necessary, we have other blocks as well)
Comfortable rocking chair (adult size) - this is for us for reading and cuddling time and would not be going home with the girls when they leave. If you find one let us know how much and where and Squirrel will come test it out as she is
If you really want to bring something for the girls we can always use:
Apples
Bananas
Bubble Bath
Bath Color Tablets
These kids are actually quite spoiled right now. We now have everything they need and may actually take some items back to the foster closet for other little ones.
These kids love books and a lot of you have offered books, we have plenty, however if they happen to be about feelings and leave out family that would be good.
Please do not bring any:
foam items as Bug will eat them.
Candy
Tiny items that fit in a tiny nose
If you have items for kids that you just don't know what to do with we can take them to the closet for you. They have plenty of most things, but the need is great. There were a lot of foster families there today.
