I loved an idea on pinterest to make a big sibling kit for you kids when they come visit you at the hospital, so I copied it and thought I would share. I also added a bag for my hubby but I didn't take a picture of what I included in his "kit".
I made shirts for Konnor and Makayla using the cheapest shirts I could find at walmart and some iron on "I'm the big sister/brother" vinyl that I found at Joann's. I also got tote bags from Joann's too they were in a package of three for around $9, kinda spendy but I think my kids will use the bags again. I just bought some iron on alphabet lettering from Joanns too for the words on the bags.
Makaylas kit has a baby doll that was only $7 from shopko, it has a stethoscope and other Dr supplies and then I bought some dolly diapers and bottles to go along with her. I also got her a drawing pad and some glitter crayons and mini markers for a dollar each at target and Joann's, she loves drawing so this will give her something to do when they come and visit.
For Konnor I got him a imaginext guy riding a dinosaur, a wooden puzzle, and a felt coloring picture of Cars with some spider man markers. I think I will grab one of Makaylas baby dolls and put it in the bag also so he has a baby too if he feels like he needs one.
As for Jared's bag, it has some jerky, wheat thins, some candy and a Muscle and Fitness magazine, he has no idea about it but hopefully he'll like the thought.
All in all it was more expensive than initally planned, but if it helps my kids hate the baby less then its worth it right?
