I loved toy cars! I would put those in mine as well. I wish I still had all of mine.
ETA: Dinosaurs!! I would hope some of the charges would be crazy about dinosaurs too (I still love learning about them). I would put in my dinosaur figures and stickers that I had as a kid.

I'd honestly put in some of my old videogames and my gameboy color/advance. I'd put in my Pokemon Firered (the only of the two FRLG I haven't completed yet, Tetris, and maybe a few other games like my Zelda Link's Awakening because it has multiple files and I'd want some kid to beat the game for me since I can't beat it myself.

Oooh, crystalclair, Kristy would drop dead before she let you put that in a Kid Kit. ;D
I liked stickers too, but I never understood the girls buying them for their kits. They're kinda a waste of money for that sort of thing since they aren't exactly reusable.

Clay and pipe cleaners Pound Puppies and Pound Purries. I'd be afraid to put something as expensive as a DS in a kid kit, but it would definitely be a hit with the kids.

^ Agreed. Those things freak me out.
I'd put in the standard things, like pencil crayons and books and toys and such. I sort of had Kid-Kits when I baby-sat, but they usually consisted of books and movies that I liked as a kid. I aways tried to bring things that the kids probably hadn't seen before - like books that were popular when I was young (so sometime in the late 80s/early 90s) and movies that weren't all that well known. The kids I baby-sat for seemed to like it.
Kristy wouldn't approve, though. Bringing a - gasp - movie to watch during a sitting job? I'd get fired from the BSC.

I thought the office kit jessi prepared sounded cute, but I don't understand how you would play a game like that

With someone behind a desk, answering telephones and "helping" people who come through the door?

^ True. I loved playing school, so I might have a few teacherish things in my kid kit, but I also loved being outside! Remember the SAs game that the Pike triplets invented? I made up my own version of that and it was so much fun! ;D

I made up my own SAs too but when it's only you, it's not so much fun.

Haha, yeah. I wanted to play it the way the Pikes did. My sister and I made up our own makeshift version of it I think.

I did the Secret Agent thing once, too. I also tried to play a game based on the Henry Reed books.
