My daughter's foster family sent several large containers of things along with her. Tons of clothes, Her bike, and a lot of toys. One or two videos, that were either specifically gifts, or her favorite. I think it all depends on how long the child is there. I think it helps with the transition for her to take some things with her.....I would check with the dad also. Certainly some things can stay with you, like sheets and furniture, and a video library. Specific toys, and clothes, and items that she particularily cherishes...should go. You may keep one or two things, if you visit her that you can take with you later. Being on the recieving end, I did not have to figure out what to keep or what to send. It would be difficult.
