What should you put in "me box"?

[AspiringSuperMum]

DS started reception recently. The school have asked each child to bring in a "me box". As I understand it, it should be a shoe box (decorated I think) containing 5 items representing the child's likes and interests. Apart from Spider-Man action figure and a toy car I'm a bit stuck for ideas? Can anyone offer any suggestions?

We put in favourite book, some dried pasta, a yellow cup for favourite colour, an appleand a picture of the four of us

Yes, something about family, something about family, favourite day out, favourite toys...

A photo of you all or grandparents or favourite place. Favourite animal, something in his favourite colour?

Photos of activities they do eg footy, dance etc

What does your son want to put it? It's his homework not yours. Not trying to be facetious, but if he decides to put e.g. a stone, a stick, a sweetie, a leaf and a toy in then that's absolutley fine. The point is not to actually to give a rounded picture but to get the kids thinking and talking.

What Gamescomp said.

The idea is for DS to be able to speak confidently about what he's put in the box. Even if it seems entirely random to you, he'll know why.

I'm glad DS didn't have to do this - you can't fit 5 footballs in a shoe box, can you?!
