I do like the idea of a character.
Also this was near the picture of the jean clothes pin bag. And gave me an idea for my old jeans. Use the old jeans to make a back sack! Some of the older kids would like that.

I wouldn’t do that nowadays for security reasons. It has been suggested by area police involved with missing and exploited children that you just personalize with characters (Spiderman, Tinkerbell), favorite things (trucks, dolls) or perhaps initials. It makes it too easy for a creep to see the child’s name and say “Jonathan, your Mom told me to pick you up and take you to her.” (Creepy, creepy!…I pray over my family everyday…we live in different times!)

blessings,
Carol
