Today I made a lot of head way on my list. I packed up a whole box of goodies for the kids of a women who works on my parent’s property. She is a single Mum and her kids have a great farm life and are very entrepreneurial; making pot plants, keeping chickens for eggs etc to make pocket-money. These kids are getting the same kind of upbringing I had, and that includes not many frivolous toys. My sister and I were mostly happy with cardboard boxes a roll and sticky tape and some space. But I also remember how much we loved getting hand-me-down toys from older kids in our neighbourhood. I hope this box of toys and things brings these kids the same joy.
The big box includes cool books (games, sas survival, animals etc), a big teddy, a barbie still in its box, bags and bags of gorgeous beads, a Russian doll, a bag of costume jewellery, a pencil tin and a bright coloured make up set which the kids can use for dress-ups, plus some other bits and bobs.
We’re going out to the property for Australia Day lunch tomorrow so I will bring it with me then. I’m also giving my step-dad my African sarong, they have a pool and he’ll get more use from it than me.
