None of it goes together, lol.</p> <p>eta: I just ordered Ticket to Ride Junior and an expansion pack of my son's birth country to put in the "basket." I decided to skip the magnets but did get the lego baseplates. That's more than enough. I'd rather do a few bigger things than a ton of little stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-baskets-elementary-school-age#post-2810407 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 22:53:32 +0000 dolphin 2810407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my 5 year old I got her Hatchimals, Shopkins, Rebel Girls 2 book (she has the first one and loves it. We read it every night.), and a few small things from Target dollar spot like cute band aids, paint a bunny set, and stickers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-baskets-elementary-school-age#post-2810375 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:34:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 2810375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is almost 6 and we are giving her bath bombs and 2 new books in her basket. She also gets baskets from my mom, my MIL and my aunt and they give her toys, stuffed animals and way too much candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-baskets-elementary-school-age#post-2810362 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:43:56 +0000 KT326 2810362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your kids are probably too old for this but for others with kids learning to read, this game is a blast! It's a sight word Jenga. They have three different levels for sight words.</p> <p><a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/product/productDet.jsp?productItemID=1%2C689%2C949%2C371%2C912%2C801&#038;ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181113&#038;bmUID=1521232971593" rel="nofollow">https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/product/productDet.jsp?productItemID=1%2C689%2C949%2C371%2C912%2C801&#038;ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181113&#038;bmUID=1521232971593</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-baskets-elementary-school-age#post-2810356 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:16:41 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2810356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New bathing suit, legos, sidewalk chalk, new art supplies, a wooden birdhouse from a craft store to paint. I find that craft stores are amazing with the things you can put together for kiddos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-baskets-elementary-school-age#post-2810355 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:11:49 +0000 KT326 2810355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my 6 year old I am doing some Star Wars Lego figures and maybe a small set (one of the $10 ones) and a set of blank books where he can create his own stories. I might throw some new swim goggles in there too. </p> <p>He is a sugar monster so I am going to stick to just one candy item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-baskets-elementary-school-age#post-2810351 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:05:36 +0000 jennlin821 2810351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is only 15 mo, so don't have this experience yet. But growing up my grandparents always gave us a Disney movie in their basket. I remember it being so special, cuz they had those big VHS cases and Disney movies were expensive! </p> <p>I'd like to continue along with something similar when DD is old enough, but I feel like buying physical movies isn't a great investment!<br /> Not sure if this helped at all, but maybe it will spur you on to something :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-baskets-elementary-school-age#post-2810332 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 14:09:58 +0000 Mamaof2 2810332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our older kids what are you putting in the baskets? I usually give way too much candy - want to do more non food/candy items this year. </p>
