My Mary Poppins Bag

So I've mentioned before that I have a "nanny box" in my trunk... Full of things that aren't usually in the family's home or things I carry around for different activities with the kids... Here's a look into the things I have in my version of a Mary Poppin's bag.. Just not as cool!

Most of this is from Walmart or the Dollartree/store. If it's from Walmart it will have a -W. If it's from the DollarTree/Store it will have a -D. If it's from any other store I'll label accordingly. 

Aprons -W
Table cloths -W
Cornstarch -grocery store
Vegetable Oil -grocery store (dollar store had small bottles)
Vinegar -D
Rubbing Alcohol -D
Liquid Starch -W (used for slime)
Paper Bags -D
Large Craft Sticks -W
Paint Brushes (sponge & regular) -W
Paint -W
Plastic Eggs -W (what kid wouldn't want to do a random egg hunt?)
Large Mixing Bowl -D
Leftover Colored Pasta -D
Balloons -W
Skittles -grocery store
Bird Seed -W
Toothpicks -D
Googly Eyes -W
Pipe Cleaners -W
Koolaid -W

Chalk -D
Shaving Cream -W
Coffee Filters -W
Tape- packaging & painters -W
Giant Coloring Pages -W

Stickers -W
Tacky Glue -W
Crayons -W (I bought cheap ones but I would suggest sticking to Crayola)

I also collected toilet paper rolls, water bottles, egg carton, tissue box (not pictured)

What isn't in the box that should be:
Food coloring
Baking soda (I would buy a large quantity from Walmart because its used in so many projects)
Marshmallows
String
Glitter
Scissors
Markers
Clear Glue (for slime)
IPad- I used my iPad all of the time, but never carried it in the box (post to come) 

What isn't in the box but used frequently at a family's house:
Bowls
Funnels
Plastic utensils
Cookie sheet
Muffin pan
Ziplock Sandwich Bags- gallon & sandwich
Bleach Wipes/409 spray to clean 

Almost all packed up

Completely packed
