+Sissy-n-CR Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Putting out a couple urban caches that I think I want to be kid oriented. Something to help get Mom or Dad out to do something with the kids and not have to go too far or be too hard physically. I think making it kid oriented will help parents get the kids out and get them excited, maybe even go beyond the stroll in the park and get into the woods. So here's my question: what do kids like? Diecast cars, stickers, anything with a cartoon character is what I'm thinking, but there's got to be more than that. TIA CR Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Little Leprechaun's List was written by my 8-year old daughter. I'm a little embarrassed that Happy Meal Toys made her list. And also... scratch the soap bubble solution if you live where the caches freeze up in winter. There are some other good suggestions in that thread about items for girls. Thanks for thinking about the kids when planning these caches. They are the ones who seem to like trading items the most, after all. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x If there's no accounting for stupidity, then why do I need to file a tax return?

+briansnat Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Water colors, kids books, arts and crafts stuff, packs of crayons, markers and colored chalk, video games and more.

+Markwell Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I'll second the stretchy lizards. We now have three and the young ones fight over them. One local puts a signature item as a magic coin trick (sliding box with secret compartment). They love that! Little Lep's list is a good one, except my two boys don't really like the hair things.

South_Cache Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Typically like strange pens, like glitter pens and color pens. They also like stickers and toy cars. They may not be typical since they are 16 and 18 y/o Your results may vary. Capn Skully Quote Link to comment
+SpongeRob Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 We recently put together a family cache of our own. "SpongeRob's Family Cache!" I find that the stuff my kids like the best is things they can put together. My daughters have used "bead Kits" and the like. They also like toys that make noise whistles, etc. (as if this is a surprise to any parent). I let the kids pick what they want in the cache and then we go purchase it. On another note I also find that kids are also excellent judges of birthday gifts to other kids. One year I allowed my daughter to get a birthday gift for her friend of which I thought was crazy. It was her friends favorite gift. Ask your kids, don't underestimate them. -- SpongeRob rwmech@keenpeople.com www.keenpeople.com WPWU826 Cache'n Retrievers Quote Link to comment
