[@KellysKidz]

Did I miss something? Let me know if I left out any awesome toys from the Dollar Tree that you have found to be great quality and perfect for shoeboxes!

[@drogers]

Thanks Kelly! Fuzzy friends are my favorite! Great quality! I also like the Lego set as a wow. This is good timing for your video because some packers are just getting started. Thanks for sharing!

[@KellysKidz]

Thank you, Denise! I’m trying to convince my hubby that I need to order the Fuzzy Friends in bulk for next year! 😅❤

[@KellysKidz]

@drogers I found the Fuzzy Friends (including the Koala) in a store today!! 🎉😂❤

I have 2 dollar trees near me and 5 about an hour from me. None have the rolly poly plushies. I checked online and have to buy a case of 30 and just couldn't decide if I really wanted that many. Today, my husband ordered them for me. I'm beyond excited. It feels like Christmas! 😄

[@KellysKidz]

@@lisadbeerbower aww that's so sweet and just the best! What a wonderful hubby ❤️🎊

I like all those ideas❤ I also recommend the mini Uno cards and Slinky Jr when you can find them. Uno is very popular in Africa. I also like the car/airplane kits the kids can build. Comes with small screwdriver and screws.

[@KellysKidz]

@@annetteh.26 oh thank you, Annette! I didn't realize Uno was popular in African countries and many of my boxes head to Africa 🌍🩵 I will be on the lookout for those! The Slinky's are another awesome name brand product and I'll also have to look for the car/airplane kits. 🎊

More nice idea's. Thanks for sharing.

[@KellysKidz]

@@byrdfeed9071 Thank you, Trish! 🤗🩷 I just found a new favorite today, it's a turbo wheels brand transformer vehicle that's friction powered! I might have to do an update lol.

[@byrdfeed9071]

@@KellysKidz yes, I like quite a few of the turbo wheels cars, as well. 👍

I ❤️ your daughter’s handmade teddy bears!

[@KellysKidz]

Thank you! 😊❤ She’s my shoebox helper, loves to crochet and sew! 🎉

[@cherylbabrick1482]

Great choices! I buy most of these, too! TFS

[@KellysKidz]

@@cherylbabrick1482 Thank you!! ❤️☺️

[@lisadbeerbower]

These are great ideas. I already buy the forever friends clothes to go with Chelsea; now im going to buy some of the forever friends dolls. Thanks for your recommendations! ❤

[@lindad1195]

I discovered the forever friends club dolls this year and their clothing and wigs and I bought some and included them in a couple boxes I’ve done this year. I have found a lot of the toys you recommended and included them in my boxes. Thanks for sharing!

[@KellysKidz]

@@lindad1195 I haven’t found the wigs yet in store, but will definitely be looking for those! 🩷 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 😊

[@patpitt7079]

I do not usually buy toys from dollar tree…but ty for looks like quality toys…I will check it out for 2025😎

[@KellysKidz]

Quality is so important! 💝 Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@nodrogytsirk]

I don’t often get to a city with a Dollartree…middle of nowhere Canada lol…but yesterday I did. I bought some clothes for Barbie’s but am not impressed with the quality of them. I found those Friends dolls and they are great. I bought 10 and found a pet carrier set with two animals and am including them. I’m excited to go back today and see what else I can find! Thank you for this video!

[@maydayzee]

What a helpful video! Thank you for doing this one. Blessings...

Very helpful, Kelly. Thank you so much. 😊❤

[@KellysKidz]

You are so welcome! 🤗 I'm glad it was helpful! ❤️

[@kimmclean9933]

Thanks for sharing ☺️ I also purchase many of these toys for my shoeboxes. You can't beat the price on some of these toys. 🎉

[@KellysKidz]

Thank you for watching! 🥰 There are definitely some shoebox gems at the Dollar Tree and it's always exciting to find them in stock! 🎉😊

[@debbiewyld6920]

Thanks Kelly, great ideas as always!!!

[@KellysKidz]

Thank you so much for that encouragement! ❤🎁😊

[@maureenshoevlin8968]

I but a lot of the items you showcased. I really like all of them. I especially like the light up tops. I put them in outerspcae filler packs. I also buy a lot of the games available at Dollar Tree: Uno Go, Dominoes, the small Jenga type tower, dice and their Yahtzee inspired game.

[@KellysKidz]

Thank you, Maureen! ❤ Those tops are so fun and a recent discovery for me. Dollar Tree does have a lot of nice games to include! I'm going to be on the lookout for the Uno Go cards 😊

[@debifritzsd]

I have gotten most of those things and agree with you. This year I got the box for the race cars and one of the lego base boards and hot glued it onto the top (fits perfectly) There's 6 slots to fill inside. We did 2 with legos, 1 with a legos for them to put together (still in bag with picture in the slot). Then 2 cars fit in one slot and we use the 6th hole for 2-3 guys (lego guys from $ tree). It's so cool. So fun to put together. Also, thanks for reviewing those friends forever dolls. I just saw those the other day and wasn't sure about them. Now I know. Happy Packing. :)

[@KellysKidz]

Wow, what an amazing idea!👏🎉🩵 Would you be able to send me a picture of it? My email is: [e-mail] Thanks so much for your comment! ☺️

[@maritzacopping3309]

Great video! I purchase many of the same items. Although for the older kids I the iDraw books are a routine purchase. TFS.

[@KellysKidz]

Oh thank you for mentioning that!! They are great drawing books for the older kids! ❤☺️🎁✏️

Thank you for this video! Oh, and I found some Halloween masks….most weren’t what I was looking for but they did have a shark mask. I’m slowly working on a blue ocean theme box so I was thrilled to find that mask.

[@KellysKidz]

@@nodrogytsirk Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I’m glad this video was helpful! 💖 Aww it’s so exciting when you can find quality items, the Friends Forever dolls are excellent and that’s such a cute idea to include the pet carrier set! I haven’t found the masks yet in my Dollar Tree, but they looked like great quality from another video I saw them in! 🥳

[@kristinesharp6286]

I’d rather spend $5.99 or $6.99 and get a beanie baby or small Aurora plush. I got some shapes and 123 flash cards. I got full size coloring books of Disney and paw patrol and crayola. I got microphones for little kids in pink and blue.

[@KellysKidz]

@@kristinesharp6286 oh nice, how do the microphones work? I don't think I've seen those at the Dollar Tree yet.

[@kristinesharp6286]

@@KellysKidz just pretend. They do sort of echo. And they are big.

[@kristinesharp6286]

It’s on the dollar tree website

[@mariet8434]

I have them for my granddaughter. The hair comes off.

[@KellysKidz]

@@mariet8434 oh how fun! I just saw on Denise Roger's recent video that you can also now buy new hairstyles/wigs for them. 😄
