Save on TOYS Keep kids HAPPY
milko-fats by milko-fats Speaking(May 2008) (rank 374th)

When my children are getting bored or too old for their toys or clothes. I clean it all up, place in boxes & every 6 months I get together with 10 other families & we swop items, we allow the children to go to another families box & select toys

that they want, The kids all think it is like christmas & they then all have new toys to play with. We then have sizes on our clothes boxes & we then do the samething where we try clothes on the children. They love their new outfits. What does not get swapped gets boxed again ready to start the next 6 months collection. This is also great for school uniforms, shoes, books etc.

Save money, Keep children happy & money in our pockets

Wow what a great idea. Could have done with somthing like that when my two were small. We use to give our out grown things to the Selvation Army as Mom had a friend who was in them. This could catch on at a few pearent and toddler groups.. Lisa x
