mead2006 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 just wondering i was thinking of doing a toy only cache is that a good idea ? Quote Link to comment
+Keelmann And Cici Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sure. I like theme caches, I have a comics cache, a dog toy cache, and a halloween cache, the responses have been good to those. You might consider a certain type of toy, like puzzles, as most caches get toys anyway. Quote Link to comment
+Team Firenze Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 We just started caching and my 4 year old is way into it. But of course part of why he is into is because of the swag. I have to say he is really good about it and hardly cares even if we hit 4 or 5 micros in a row. Sometimes we feel bad and will give him something small from our swag bag. Recently though, because of some DNFs and getting a lot of micros we hadn't found any caches with swag in a couple of days. Heading out on a Saturday for a full day of caching I wanted it to start of well for the little guy. Luckily, I remembered that one of our good local COs had a couple of caches marked explicitly "kids cache". So we headed to that one first, it was a still a good hike but it was a huge cache with plenty of swag. We really loaded it up when we left too. Long story short, I think its awful nice if you can do a cache like that. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 It's a great idea but be sure to put it in a place that is kid friendly. I recall finding "kids cache" filled with toys in a lot strewn with broken glass and litter. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Sure. I like theme caches, I have a comics cache, a dog toy cache, and a halloween cache, the responses have been good to those. You might consider a certain type of toy, like puzzles, as most caches get toys anyway. Keep in mind that you can't enforce a "toys only" (or any other swag themed) cache in any way. You can ask that those that find the cache only use toys as swag but if someone drops in a dollar because they didn't bring any toys to trade there's nothing you can do about it.

+A & J Tooling Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Those of us with kids, when we come to caches set up for kids, we kind of make sure they're kid friendly for the next cacher to come along. Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Don't expect it to stay that way. And don't expect the quality of the swag to stay the same after more than just a handful of cachers. Quote Link to comment
