I would find these extra toys from the times I might go through the drive thru with the kids and not want a full meal, so I'd get a kids meal. Or when the grandparents passed them along. For some toys, I might even be able to pick up an extra right at the restaurant (sometimes for a small fee, sometimes free).
I have a natural affinity for kids meal toys - heck, that is the reason I started blogging!
Just in case you are not sure of the current kids meal toys being offered, here's a list of the big three in my area (and this is a regular feature of the Kids Meal Crowd blog):
Wendy's
Leap Frog Toys -- And don't forget about the coupons on the bag and in the toy!
Sneak Peak...Click on "coming soon" to see the next batch: Mad Libs
Burger King
Planet 51
McDonalds
November13 - December 10
Strawberry Shortcake and NerfExtra Savings...There is a Nerf retail coupon in the Nerf toy.
Don't forget to check out all of the other excellent Works for Me Wednesday ideas at We Are That Family.
3 more things to say about this:
That is such an awesome idea. But the thing is I would have to hide all the toys from my son all throughout the year to give them to him on xmas and... that would be hard. LOL
Of course this only works if your kids don't snatch up the toys as soon as they see it.....
Jenny and Ticia, you are both so right! The toughest part is not really collecting all the little toys, but keeping them in a "safe" space that is hidden away. I've got a plastic tote in a closet that I tend to use for my gifts picked up during the off-season, so that's where I usually stash the little kids meal toys as well. Good luck, and happy holidays!
