Our final parcel arrived from Canada, thank you Linda! Of course the steam train postcard was a BIG hit and the mini watering can, Ebi-kun has a thing about watering cans, not sure why but he loves them :o)
I was thinking or organising another swap for September maybe, any ideas of what to swap this time?
These swaps are great! I hope you recycle some later on for us new readers!
ReplyDeleteIdeas for swaps: Classical Composers or Famous Artists.
Items no bigger than a shoe box maybe?
Info about Artists Baskets: http://spiralmontessorimama.blogspot.com/2008/06/artist-baskets.html
Example items for Classical Composers: CD of the Composer, small map and/or flag of where the composer is from, picture card of the composer, information card about the composer.......
I'm glad it arrived safely! I thought the two boys (my other swapper had a boy too) would like the train!
ReplyDeleteHm -- swap ideas --
ReplyDeleteItems of a certain color, perhaps?
Our children's favorite art supplies?
Culinary items (small kitchen tools, gadgets, etc.) geared towards kids?
Our little ones' favorite books (paperbacks)?
Music from a certain country or time period?
Hi Jojo, I found your blog recently and I'm thankful for the great ideas you share with us. I also have a blog (english/spanish)and talk about my homeschooling experience with my 3 boys.
