Bring anything you don't mind losing.

Balls are always great fun. We used a balloon but she was 6 at the time. Anything to color with, bubbles are messy- our spilled during the trip, even though in a plastic bag it was still messy.

Anything they can manipulate with their hands, such as legos, cars.

Pictures to look at. Take pictures of everything at home, they will be fascinated to see anything.

I had a large bag that became the secret bag, if she took a toy out she could hide it back in the bag if she did not feel like sharing- that work well. If it gets to the general population it will not come back. I am still on the look out for a musical flower with the Happy Birthday song to replace the one she took upstairs at the detsky dom.

We were able to bring bananas to her group and a weird cake. Told some kids have allergies to oranges. The kids gobbled down the bananas. If I had known how happy they were to get fresh fruit, I would have brought it every day.
