Nearly finished compiling them now. With the extra card i should imagine it would have cost us no more than £5 each (its only that much cos we put a big toy in....otherwise would have only cost us £2 per box)
They comprise of: Box to match colour scheme...with name on. Slinky Colouring Book Activity Book Crayons Jigsaw Curly Straw Then the big one for the older kids: Knex set OR for the little uns a Mega Blocks set.
Thought it was a bargain considering the amount we got in them. Plus thats buying everything individual (only have 4 children for day time) if i would have had more i would have bought large bags of stuff making them even cheaper. :) Will get some pics of them when i have made them up.

CommentAuthorcasbride87

CommentAuthorLindsey Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I have only just got them through the post......really happy woth the boxes and the stuff i ordered from there. I have put pictures up on my profile if anyone want to have a peek. Do they look ok? Was thinking of making the nametag smaller and putting some butterflies on them aswell? The big toys dont really fit in so i have gotta find a way to incorporte them. Maybe take them out of the boxes and put them in loose?
