This is a list from the dollar tree in my community in the U.S. Your dollar tree may have different items but this is what I've found.

Stuffed Animals: My Dollar tree had a good variety of stuffed animals of different sizes shapes and colors. They were also very good quality and had a good weight to them.

Air dry clay and Playdough: Some of them weren't full size but they were still a good option

Crayons, Coloring Books, Markers and Pencils: They had some pretty good options here as well. The crayons were very affordable. They also had name brands as well.

Bubbles and Sidewalk Chalk: These are more for spring and summer but this is a great option.

Baby Dolls: There were certain dolls among the toys

Lotion, Bath Soap and Other Cosmetics: There's a good amount of baby lotion as well as oil and bath soap. There's also shampoo for kids, tooth brushes, toothpaste and many other things.

Stickers: There is a huge collection of stickers in the craft section of my dollar tree. They have some that are letters, stars, butterflies, fairies. They also have lots of name brand stickers with your favorite characters on them.

Puzzles: There are a few puzzles that are available at the dollar tree. They range from 100-500 pieces

Car toys: There's less of a selection for these types of toys but they are available

Craft kits: These are a more involved project but you do get a toy out of them that you get to keep. They're customizable and can be painted. You're basically building either a ship, truck, or helicopter

The warmth of the sun, the beauty of the flowers and shared laughter ☀️

This moodboard is about encouragement, not romanticizing illness. I take daily medication, and remembering to take it is an act of care. This is just a small “you did it” for anyone who showed up for themselves today ❤️‍🩹

I made a nest!! It’s very comfy 🧸
