I went to Walmart and for $12, I bought the following for my 5 year old neice:

1 backpack (pastel color w/ hearts) = $5.00
1 24pack crayons = $.25
1 12pack washable markers = $.75
2 2packs glue sticks = $1.00
1 age appropriate pair of scissors = $1.50
1 pack of construction paper = $2.50
1 pencil box = $1.00
Have to love the back to school sale prices!!!!!!!

I will put it all together and give her an "art" backpack! The best thing is, except for the backpack, it's all useable, so no clutter!

I also was at Border's an in their bargain section I found 4 cardboard books in the shape of trucks and fire engines that had wheels! They were perfect for my 2 year old nephew. They were $3 a piece so I got him 4. Have to keep it even between the n/n's! So they are done for Christmas and they will love what they are getting!!!
