A week away from home at summer camp is a brave thing to do.  So, the care package {or as Big W calls it- “care mail”} is a great way to send your kids a little love at camp.  As this is my second year to send care mail, I thought about it carefully before sending it off !

Here are the items my camper will be receiving mid-week:

A white pillowcase for his cabin mates to sign with neon Sharpies.  It is the same pillow case I sent last year, so the new signatures will just be added on!  I love the idea of sending it every year.

A deck of cards, an extra disposable camera, and a Dot to Dot game pad.  Hopefully this will add to the in-cabin entertainment.

Temporary tattoos.  Each set is cut into individual tattoos and placed in a sealed bag. I sent along a washcloth so they could easily apply them.

Electronic 20 questions game/20Q!  I sent the 8 ball last year and it was big hit!  Hope this one is just as popular.

Contraband.  No food items allowed in care packages.  Candy isn’t food, right? Either way, it makes the boys happy.  {You have to break the rules sometimes!}

Ever send a care package?  What items did your kids love?

Also, the first care package I sent and a grown up press-on tattoo.
