I’ve never heard of Paint by Sticker. Going to add that to the list! We like to put outdoor activity toys in the baskets, like water squirters/water guns, swim clothes/water shoes, chalk for the driveway, frisbee/fast flyers (Activ Flyer…they have a hole in the center and are easy for kids to throw), etc. Basically anything that encourages them to play outside as the weather gets nicer. 😉
