Easter or Spring New Beginnings Swap for Children

US Only, thank you, due to postage.

The Santa’s Helper Swap for the kiddos by Betty K. was very successful, so how about an Easter or Spring Swap for the kids.

Age Span Allowed: 6 months to 12 years

The package should have several small items with the swap’s theme.

If the family has more than one child adjust your package accordingly, maybe a small item for each and a larger one for all.

Ideas: Stuffed Bunnies or Chicks, Spring Stickers, Pencils, Easers, Small toys, Plastic Eggs filled with wrapped candy, a basket (that could be used for storage or organization later), Coloring Books, Crayons, Play Dough, Bubbles, Small Books.

Some items can be handmade (like stuffed toys), but mostly new items, please.

The dollar amount should be around $10.00 (more if you desire) before postage. Send items you would want your child to receive!

When you sign up for the swap, please leave a contact message about your child’s likes, dislikes, allergies, etc. If you have an objection to Religious themed items, just a simple statement will do, please no discussions on religion, this is for the cuties in our lives.

Please rate your partner according to Swap-bot Rating Guidelines. If you do not receive a package within about 10 days, please contact your swap partner and me, especially if the sender marks “sent�. No surprises, that way.

The Golden Rule applies here!

No swappers with the following:
1. Below an overall 4 rating

  1. No email address

  2. Do not have their profile filled out

  3. Newbies welcome

  4. Contact me if you have a question about siging up for the swap

I will be checking. I will contact the person if I have doubts, no one will be banned before contact is attempted.

Happy Swapping!

Is there an age limit? How old do the kids have to be?

Retromama 01/10/2007 #

An age limit would have been a good thing (very Martha)to add! Thanks, Goobearsmom. About 6 months to 12 years, that should do it. A 6 month old can enjoy stuff like plastic eggs. I know that part of a twelve year old still wants to be a child (whether they will admit it or not), and would enjoy many of the items. I will edit the swap.

Retromama 01/11/2007 #

I found the boxes in the picture at the $ Tree, $1.00. Nice spring colors, folds and can make nice storage bins.

Retromama 01/12/2007 #

Alexandria, 2, has no allergies, likes just about everything except stuffed animals that make noise and move. She shakes her head NO! and says "Huh-Huh".

tammegail 01/13/2007 #

Constance, 8 and her brother Nathaniel, 11 months like just about everything. I think this will be a fun swap!

user5721 01/15/2007 #

I have 2 girls Amaree and Chloe 8 and 6, and 2 boys Kiernan and Connor 5 and 20 months. We are open to everything and so excited for this fun swap!

Craftycakes 01/17/2007 #

I have a 7yr old boy named Skye and 6 month old twin girls named Rowan and Alora. We've never celebrated Easter as a family so this will be wonderful. I can't wait.

Retromama 01/19/2007 #

Looks like this is going to be a great swap, so many great swappers! And a great bunch of kiddos! Ashley, In Luv With Stars, lob, Tammy and Fawne remember to list your child or children first name/names and likes, dislikes, etc.

Fawne 01/19/2007 #

My daughter's name is Mazzy and she's 4 years old. She loves Barbie, Polly Pocket, Dora, anything girly and cute, drawing and coloring. She's easy to please. Also, we're not religious.

simplysarah 01/21/2007 #

My boy jasper rain, is 8 years old. he likes usual boy stuff. legos hot wheels, trading cards, art supplies.... and candy of coarse...no allergies, but like mostly natural and organic goodies...

although we are not religious we dont mind if you send religious inspired things as we have close family that is religious so jasper rain is always included in religious base understanding of holidays....

Retromama 01/27/2007 #

Hello, guys, we are good! I just found this swap up again (almost copied word for copied word)but for Canada! I quess it is a good thing, more children will benefit. I just don't want any confusion for swappers and no children disappointed. Thanks for signing up! Suzan

user6040 02/ 2/2007 #

my son tyler is 8 and loves trading cards, candy, and the easter bunny!! he loves to get packages in the mail! he will be happy just to open the box.....

user2109 02/ 4/2007 #

My niece is SO excited to participate in this swap! Tessa is 9 years old. Her favorite color is blue, she loves a candy called 'cow tails'. Her favorite toy is Bratz dolls. She just got her ears pierced and she's learning to use those shoes with wheels. She likes stickers, fun colored pens and is almost more excited about filling the box to send as she is in getting a package. Thanks for thinking this swap up, I love to have activities to include her.

Craftycakes 02/ 5/2007 #

I guess I should add that we are not religious. Skye is really into things he can put together. He loves legos and Bionicle. He plans on teaching art and designing toys when he grows up. My girls are into drooling and chewing on anything they can get their hands on.

Hi, gang, looks like alot of children will be enjoying this swap! I know it seems like a long time until swap time, but I promise the time will fly by. I don't know about you but I love reading about all the different kids, likes, dislikes, etc. Happy swapping!

user6228 02/11/2007 #

My daughter Hope is 8 yrs old. She loves just about any "girly" things, stickers, Littlest Pet Shop, Polly Pocket, neat pens/markers, SOFT headbands (not hard plastic), little tablets, she is also collecting superballs (like from the machine) =) Of course candy. We do celebrate Easter.

tateva 02/14/2007 #

My 3 year old daughter, Abby, likes anything to do with Candyland, all arts and crafts, stickers, and carrying all sorts of things around in a bag!

Cristen2007 02/15/2007 #

I have Jade who is 3 years, she is easy to please. Coloring, drawing, anything creative. She like stickers and stamps along with Dora, and Precious Moments. I also have Anthony my son who is 13 months old and he likes getting into whatever sister is doing. LOL. For Anthony something age appropriate. Religious things are not a problem.

Spring is just around the corner! I have been enjoying putting together the Easter package for my cutie. Hope you have too. Have a great weekend!

Cnvingltlbtch 03/ 8/2007 #

Funny Note... My daughter was so excited to put this swap together that we sent it out really early. So everyday as soon as i get home from work she rushes out to get the mailbox key from me so she can go check if she has anything in there for her. I finally had to break it to her last night that the mail deadline isnt until the 24th and then it takes time to get here. It was so cute she was all pouting on the couch. I never realized that she didnt know we sent ours early. I sent out a postcard to her in the mail today so hopefully she will then be patient.

user4776 03/ 9/2007 #

Thank you ! Emily received her package!! She loved it!! Made her day!! I wish I could thank you by name but Emily made off with the whole package before i could read anything!! She especially loved the pink box with "jewels" on it... She told me it was for her to put diamonds in!

PaisleyBabe 03/10/2007 #

I forgot to put info about my daughter. Here it is in case my partner still needs it.

My daughter Madeline (Maddy) is 5 1/2 years old and loves just about anything. Her favorite color is pink, she loves animals, she's really into art.

Retromama 03/10/2007 #

cnvingltlbtch, poor baby. I will contact you through email for your address and send a little note out on Monday to her. Alex was all about the candy when she opened your great package. And when the goodies come back out on Easter weekend, she will never really know the difference! I had so much fun putting my package together for my cute swap partner!

Cnvingltlbtch 03/13/2007 #

It's okay she got her package yesterday and absolutly loved everything in it. She even almost started crying when she opened the box. Cole & Codi went above & beyond on this one. They personalized the tub that the stuff was in by putting her name on it in foamies. She was so shocked because her name was spelled correctly and she cant ever find anything with her spelling(thanks Dad,lol). I took photos so I'll post some tonight. She loves the puzzle egg. I swear she put it back together a good twenty times last night. Thanks again for the wonderful package. Okay i have to stop writing now before i start crying, man did she love that they put her name on it :)

Cnvingltlbtch 03/13/2007 #

Okay i posted photos

Retromama 03/15/2007 #

I really love the photos, cnvingltlbtch! I had your address on your card in the swap package, so I sent a big thank you to Alicen, should be there soon.

Cnvingltlbtch 03/16/2007 #

She got it last night, thank-you so much.

user5721 03/23/2007 #

Missemilysmom, That package came from us! I'm SO GLAD she liked it. I had so much fun putting it together for her!

tateva 03/26/2007 #

Thank you, Bombshell-o-matic, Abby loved your package, it was so much fun for her, she is playing with everything now and loves everything, such nice things, thanks again!

PaisleyBabe 03/28/2007 #

We received a wonderful package yesterday from someone named: J. Andrefshi (spelling?)in Orwigsburg, PA. I just wanted to tell whoever sent it thank you SO much! Everything was wonderful and she loved all of it! I tried to figure out your member name but I wasn't sure. Thanks! :)

Retromama 03/29/2007 #

Hi, Easter buddies! I am very excited to announce that everyone has come through, except 1 "no send." An Angel has stepped forward to make that cutie's day! With all the negativity that has been on Swap-bot lately, I am going to make sure that this swap gets alot of press. Have faith!!

Just in case there is a snafoo, please contact me if you have not received a package by April 2nd, there is priority mail!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Retromama 04/ 1/2007 #

Sending this out a little early: Calling for one Angel!!! A newbie who marked "sent" has flaked out. She has not replied to over three emails and her partner still has not received her package. Please contact me if you can accept this challenge. Thanks!

Retromama 04/ 7/2007 #

Happy Easter!!! Everybody should have received a package as of today! Angels sent priority! Thanks for being such great swappers! I think the Easter/Spring was a success!
