This post is kind of for Linz. I wasn't sure if anyone would go back and read the post Toys for Tots. I just wanted to share an idea that I am doing for Christmas, for my (will be) 15 mos. old. I can't take credit for the idea, I got it from a friend in my old ward. Anyway, since my little one is OBSESSED with my purse, and everything in it-keys, wallet, pens, etc. I am putting together a purse for her. The idea I got from my friend is you take a wallet or billfold that has a lot of slots for credit cards, and you make your own cards. She had pictures of family members, Christ, animals, etc. You just make the pictures the size of a credit card, and then laminate them. Little tots will happily pull out the cards and examine them all day long! Anyway, it becomes a good alternative for getting into my OWN purse, (and real credit cards) as well as a good quiet activity for Church, etc.
Does anyone know of a kind of toy keys that are more realistic then the plastic colorful baby ones they make?

I love this idea! For keys, save old ones you don't use anymore and then put them on a ring for her?
What a cute idea! I hope I have a little girl someday that I can do that for ... Although, the same thing could be done for a boy except I'd have just a wallet and omit the purse!
sometimes people (the public who you usually don't appreciate anyway) freak when they see keys in a baby's mouth.
PARENTS brand toys has the best stuff, most realistic stuff...especially the keys.
ps.
another idea is to grab all those gift cards at checkouts (target, claires, barnes and noble) and put them in a play wallet.
Great idea!!
Where can you find Parents brand stuff? Anywhere?
Target has an aisle that is mostly parents stuff. I bought Reagan those keys, and she really liked them.
