Need help from moms of boys....

[Jennifer ~ Mommy to Aryanna]

Okay, my cousin, her husband, and their 3 boys are coming to visit us at our new house about 2 weeks after we move in. We dont really have any kind of toys for them to play with and I want to get some things that aren't too expensive for them to play with.

I know that they will bring some small toys with them (things that will keep them entertained in the car) such as cars, actoin figures, etc. And I am thinking about getting a small inflatable pool, a ball, and some bubbles for them to play with outside.

What else would you suggest we have for them? I dont want to spend alot of money since they are only going to be here for a week and then I will either have to send the stuff home with them or store it.

The boys are ages 6, 4 1/2, and 3.

Thanks for the help!!!

Your ideas sound wonderful.... my day care boys love that type of thing. Sidewalk Chalk is also cool.... They also LOVE to run thought the sprinkler!

Okay so here is the list I have so far:

For Outside:
Pool or Sprinkler (probably pool because we are on a water conservation plan at our new house and can only use water outside on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday and we can keep the pool filled up for 2 days a a time)
Ball
Bubbles
Frisbee
Sidewalk chalk

For Inside:
Whatever they bring
Coloring books
Crayons
Movies


Can you think of anything else?

[AwesomeMommy]

No that sounds GREAT... the Frisbee is an awesome idea, I love to play Frisbee!
