Children ~ Christmas Ideas for a Medium Size Bag ???

Bubbles would be good for the older two. Rattles for the younger two. Board books for the younger two, and picture books for the older two. Small stuffed animals- Walmart has some small ones in Christmas themes for $2.50 each this year.

Fun pads, crayons, there were vcr tapes at the $ store the other day...so a movie....

big crayons are always fun!

For the babies, something bright and colorful, a small stuffed animal, babies like things that are really colorful that they can see easily.

I agree with Heather T and Karen...

I like the fun pads idea. And the crayons is a great one too. Yeah a movie too...

I was going to suggest books and coloring books, but they've already been suggested.

Oh yeah - sidewalk chalk and bath time chalk.

I would hit the dollar tree. Puzzle books, fun pads, coloring books and crayons, teething rings, balls, reading books, stickers, etc. Get in there and let your mind do the work.

Avon too would be a good place. They have the .69 cent lip balm and I think those soap crayons are .99 cents as well. I would also think about socks perhaps, new pacifiers/bottles for the baby.

definitely board books from the dollar tree - they're gonna eat them anyway ;)

check the dollar store for crayons for the older two and coloring books....and board style books and bath toys for the little ones.

Hit the dollar stores or dollar trees. They will have all kinds of stuff for a buck or cheap to fill your bag. Thats what I always did.

Maybe a rattle for the baby.

Maybe cute little socks.

Stickers for the older ones.

No child is too young to enjoy books - board books are small and great for the little ones. Easy-reader books are usually around 6x9 inches and fit in most bags.

Check craft stores in addition to the dollar stores. Michaels and AC Moore's both have stocking stuffer aisles and end caps with great toys, puzzles and crafts that are small and in-expensive.

For the older two (3 and 6 years) try bath stuff - I used to suggest this all the time at Bath and Body works. Little girls want to be "just like mommy" and will be thrilled if they get a mini set of bath gels or lotions that look like what mom uses.

I also think that Linda T is on the right track - skip the candy and get some better for you food. Check the grocery store - you might be surprised what you find in individual packages. When I was little, I got exotic fruit - pommegranites and star fruits are exciting when they're not what you usually see on the table.

How about baking or craft supplies and a promise to help them with the project. Just to prove that the little ones can cook - Check your local library for Mollie Katzen's "Salad people" - it's a cookbook for pre-schoolers!

What about stickers?
