We have since accumulated many fun accessories for it. They play with it nearly every time they are outside- even in the snow!

Be sure to make them FUN, adding a “wow” item and new toys a child will love; FULL, with no empty space; and PERSONALIZED so that each is unique and prayed over and includes a note of encouragement.
