Save old cracker and cereal cardboard boxes...they break down to lay flat...it doesn't take up a lot of space...and they are FREE posterboard!
I got this idea from my new favoritest blog...
...She calls this a holiday travel craft. It is good prep for the upcoming holiday trips to the Grandma's. It's also just fun...to see what they choose to go into their suitcases!We chopped a bunch of things out of magazines the other day...so we got out of clippings tub...and they sorted through their recycled magazine pictures. Anyone else hearing...CHEAP CHEAP...!?
Notice, my sweet daughter is bringing Dora, flowers, money...and soup and a jar of bugs! 
I love this little face. She said she was being "snooty"...hehehe! She then pranced into the living room with her suitcase...saying, "Latee dah..." We chose the luggage tags on the outside by places she suggested...Grandma's house, Australia (we pray for missionaries there), China (Daddy goes there for work trips), Ireland (dancers on Sesame Street), New York (where Nana and Papa live), and Hawaii (okay, MomE suggested that one). 
Little Lubby wants you to see...there are frogs, a dump truck (we do produce garbage in our van of an astounding amount), Diego, trains, etc. He really liked the money coins too. He's into money...too bad I can't yet trust him to keep it out of his mouth. Oh, cursed molars...when will you come in already?!
He is now attempting to carry his toy trucks in the suitcase. He cries when they fall out. Maybe I'll tape the sides!?

Cute, a fun project that doesn't require me to buy anything I don't already have. : )
Tonight we played in shaving cream on the kitchen table... they loved it. : )
We've also been making "thankful leaves". I made several leaf shapes and we talk about something we're thankful for (family and home so far), then we each make our own (including me) and tape them in a falling pattern on our closet door. : ) Cute to see their drawings and what they ask me to draw for them. : )
