I was just coming to suggest some outdoor toys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-gifts-for-older-siblings#post-1761462 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 07:55:50 +0000 charmed 1761462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reyorra: @gingerbebe: thanks! :happy:<br /> I ended up getting sidewalk chalk, some bubble stuff, and water guns so they can play outside and give mama a break.

Something like Sorry can be played by all.<br /> - All the kids might enjoy sidewalk chalk or a sprinkler attachment for the hose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-gifts-for-older-siblings#post-1760827 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 18:29:08 +0000 reyorra 1760827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do a book for each, something in their age range, or if you know their interests, something to follow along with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-gifts-for-older-siblings#post-1760815 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 18:22:15 +0000 charmed 1760815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: thanks! that's a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-gifts-for-older-siblings#post-1760690 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:40:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 1760690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you do ice cream gift card to the local frozen yogurt place? that way dad could take them to get something away from baby? Or get some DVDs from the $5 bin at target? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-gifts-for-older-siblings#post-1760676 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:30:30 +0000 charmed 1760676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any ideas for small gifts for a 10 year old (girl), 7 year old (boy), and 5 year old (boy)?<br /> My friend just had a baby and I'm taking her dinner and a gift for the baby tomorrow, but I don't want to leave out her older kids. </p> <p>Was thinking something in the $5-$10 for each kid - any suggestions?<br /> (and I don't know what any of their interests are :shocked: - we usually hang out sans-kids) </p>
