Papaya Mom

As a gift to my other Mother friends; a review of the toys I brought:

Finding Nemo Crazy Eights Game Cards - Fun for counting fish, talking about sharks and folding/ripping. 45 minutes.

I Spy Memory Cards Game - Awesome for handing back and forth and pointing out something else we know the word for. 2 hours

Magnetic Folder with Dress Up Dolls and Clothing (even if it was Barbie brand I’d never admit it): 30 minutes tops, then only fun for ripping apart the thin magnetic pants and laughing at the oh-to-thin magnetic model before ripping her in half too. 20 minutes.

Puzzle Pieces - Fun for pointing out body parts (the sets were of a body part picture and the name) and then finding them on ourselves. Probably did not need a whole gallon bag of these, 20 would have done just fine. 1 hour

iPod with 7 Disney Movies - Great, if your kid will wear the earphones. It was fun to watch without sound, but not for too long. 1 hour

Peg and Post sticks - fun for making a really long chain of sticks to use to poke at people in front of and behind you in the isle. This toy may have had more shelf life, but not if I wanted my neighbors not to kill my kid. 30 minutes

Lego-type blocks - These are a little different but hard to describe, lots of webbed sticks that interlock with each other? I’ll have to get a picture. Anyway, did not need a whole gallon bag since three of these lasted a good 90 minutes.

Stickers - Lets see how many we can stick on a hand, a foot, a leg? A great time, but I need to bring more variety in sticker size because a whole roll of (Target Dollar Area bought) Mickey Mouse stickers is not *that* interesting. 45 minutes

You may note that these times do NOT fill up an hour. Oh no, not the entire tinkerbell backpack of snacks (Yogos, Breakfast Bites, Cheese Sticks) were good enough for the incredibly long journey.

Other:

Hot towel - We played with this fun one for a good 30 minutes in tug-of-war, jump rope, etc. 30 minutes and free!

Barf Bag - clean, of course. You can stick both feet in it like a shoe or put it on your hand as a puppet and what fun is that!?!?! 30 minutes

Peekaboo - I send many good wishes to every person who was willing to spend five minutes allowing my child to play peek a boo. It adds up, and that is what matters.
