This one is a little morale booster. Every guy has a little kid in them so I decided to send some toys to my soldier to play with. I got two of most things so that he could have a partner in crime.
Your soldier may or may not get in trouble for having playtime haha.
To get this stuff I just went down the kid's aisles at Target:
- Squirt Guns
- Nerf Dart Guns
- Extra darts- I'm sure they will get lost easily
- Water balloon Kit
- Light Sabers (the retract into the handle so they are only as big as the handle)
- Card Games
- Over the door basketball hoop
- GI Joes
- Slingshot Flying Monkey or Slingshot Flying Cow

Author's Note: I just wanted to make sure that people did not think I thought every thing was all fun and games. I realize most soldiers are very busy and I think that sending these fun packages would help make them smile and amuse them in the downtime they may have.
I, too send fun stuff to soldiers. Have you seen 'slime'? Of course, I send lots of visine, body wipes, toothpaste, gold bond, etc... The box I'm packing up now has a Frisbee and boomer-rang (along with the neccesities)....if nothing else, they will pass these toys along to the children.
