Something for the kids USA! #1

Can adults send something for kids? I have been babysitting for years and have tooooons of supplies, stickers, activities, kits, etc. that I'd love to surprise a kid with! If you allowed this, I'd give you the ages of the kids in a family I am close with. I see them 2-3 times a week and they'd love getting mail addressed to my house with their name on it! Thanks!

im in alyssa is 6 and torrie is 4 and they always bringing my mail in and trying to open it..so it be nice for them to have their own

Sure mix that is fine! ;)

So excited to see what everyone comes up with! I have taught kindergarten for 10+ years and enjoy seeing the little ones faces light up when they receive a package!

we've got Claire, 3 , going on 7 Aspen, 4 and Aiden, 2

happy to do one swap exchange for each, or them as a set, whatever works!

Mine is isaac-almost 7 end of august

Hi! My kids are so excited to be a part of a swap. My daughter is 9 and my son will be 7 on the 28th.

Oops - My daughter's name is Kaytlie and my son is Caleb.

i have everything ready to ship. when i can i get enough time and money next week i will then ship out the packages:)

how fun! I'll be shipping next week as well- hope you all love it!

butterfly, what's your 4t little girl's name? Thanks so much! Stacey

Amanda, how old are the little ones in your life? Boys/girls? one of each?

Adam is 3 1/2, boy Anna is 5?, girl Kate is 7, girl Not positive on the ages. I've been babysitting for them for years now, since 2002 when Kate was born. I'm sorry I didn't previously post this! As far as artwork goes, I'd love children's artwork to hang for inspiration. I often have bits of kids’ products on my idea board for inspiration- currently some Mr. Men and Little Ms. tattoos. So I'd gladly pass the package contents on to the kids if I don't feel a use for it. In fact, I may seal it up again and put it in their mailbox!

Check your mailboxes, mine went in the ail today! I stuffed them all full of things! Since I am in college now, my babysitting hours are few. There's no need for me to have boxes and boxes of babysitting crafts and kids stuff in the basement when I'm not actively babysitting. So... you all have packages instead of letters, with goodies for the kids. Don't feel pressured to same something as large back, I just needed to pass some games and kids activities along to a good home and this was the perfect opportunity!

i got to get some stamps then ours will be on the way...

i just dropped off the swap at the post office. hope you like.

has anyone recieved anything from me yet? i sent on the 24th and want to get ratings asap. so please, when you all recieve mine rate me after you get it like i did. i only got one so far from butterfly and rated her for sending some stickers in a letter invy.

ohh never mind i sent on 25th so you should get them this early week coming up:)

isnt the mail by date the 27th? why do so many people send late? i have read alot on the forums about late senders and i am waiting on 2 partners to click send. i mailed mine before the send by date and should we give a 5 for late senders? i think the rules say send by the 27th:) i guess if you send late you will not get a 5 becasue it will not meet the swap requirements when you mail late. just my opinion

Isn't it send before the 27th, rather than receive before the 27th? Also, dependent on how big a package someone sends, it may take longer- for instance, I sent big envelope packages, which take longer than a letter size envelope. Mine are on their way! =)

i think its you have to send on or before the send by date. thats why i said alot of people want hearts and 5s which is fine but i dont want to be unfair and if its mailed after the due date that means the swapper didnot meet the requirements and would end up getting a 3. even if they send extras its the point that they didnot meet the requirements. and i will be glade to leave a great feedback message but, i wont give a 5 for late senders especially when i sent extras in a package to someone else in a different swap and they didnt give me a heart. i though that if you send extras and more than the swap mentions it would call for an heart. oh well, i just want to give fair ratings since i would want an fair rating. i am new as well, and didnt send too much in this much but, when i get used to everyone and know i wont get flaked on i will then love to send alot of extras since i always send a great package on other swap boards i currently do:)

I just want to say that above^^^^^^ i left a comment saying i was waiting to get stamps...and I clearly state in my profile what the status of my swaps are ....
