They also like the Sticker Face books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-under-5-for-kids#post-2611368 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 06:53:33 +0000 Bao 2611368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much guys!

Hotwheels, bubbles. There is a dollar store near me that has great little toys. Also look for things that are a pack and you can break down, like farm animals, dinosaurs etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-under-5-for-kids#post-2611263 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 22:09:05 +0000 youboots 2611263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-under-5-for-kids#post-2611261 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 22:03:01 +0000 irene 2611261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a lot of things under $5 on amazon if you search! Or even at Party City they have a whole section just for that. Things I can think of on top of my head are:</p> <p>tattoos<br /> rubber stamps (24 count in a box)<br /> mini rubber duckies<br /> bubbles<br /> activity books</p> <p>You can even get mini books on sale at barnes and nobles stores for under $5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-under-5-for-kids#post-2611260 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 22:01:59 +0000 PinkElephant 2611260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you don't want random junk, so not sure if you're ok with dollar store items....but MIL recently got my girls some ponies that look like classic My Little Ponies at dollar tree, and I have bought sticker mosaic kits as well as big books of Frozen and other glitter stickers from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-under-5-for-kids#post-2611219 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:25:33 +0000 Bao 2611219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cotton Candy: I do!!

Basically I'd hit up Target's dollar spot if you have one near you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-under-5-for-kids#post-2611209 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:11:45 +0000 Bao 2611209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: 2.5 and 4, so yes for sure my oldest!

How old are they? Would they understand something like a coupon for a cupcake or ice cream? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/items-under-5-for-kids#post-2611197 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 19:46:54 +0000 Bao 2611197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm making a prize box for my girls, and I'm trying to think of items that are less than $5 (preferably $1-$3), that I can fill the box with. I don't want random junk though, so far I've thought of: </p> <p>Play-doh<br /> Fun lip balms<br /> Stickers<br /> Blind bags </p> <p>I would love to hear some more ideas! :) </p>
