My kids are a little older. 7 and 3. I'm going to get two boxes and start hitting thrift stores and flea markets. One box is going to be art supplies. I'll pick up ribbons, necklaces for beads.... any thing that can be glued on something or drawn with.

The other box is going to be dress up stuff. Goofy clothes, glasses, etc...

I used to think my former FIL was weird because he'd get the kids obviously used stuff. Now, I'm so tired of new toys that don't get played with. They hardly ever play with all those toys that make noise.
