Collect small toys for special outings

I saw a great article in a magazine about how a Mom stores her kids little toys. You know the ones I am talking about... Happy Meal toys, birthday giveaway toys, etc. She keeps these items corralled in a plastic container. She has two boy containers and two girl containers which she fills with odd and end little trinkets and stashes away. Anytime she goes out to eat, goes to the Dr and has to bring the kids, or goes on long car trips she packs these containers. Since the kids haven't seen the toys in a long time, it is a new and exciting to them, and it can be a great way to entertain your child.
