Top 5 Thrift Finds for Kids 🫶

Y’all don’t sleep on thrift stores for kids stuff! I used to think thrift stores only have very used and beaten up items and boy was I wrong!

Here are the top five things to hunt for at thrift shops for kids, perfect for crafting and playtime. These items legit never fail to be in stock at thrift shops.

Arts and Craft Supplies: From yarn and fabric to paints and beads, thrift stores often have a treasure trove of crafting supplies at a fraction of the cost. Keep an eye out for unique finds like vintage buttons or specialty papers that can add flair to your projects without breaking the bank. This week I found unopened Melissa and Doug sticker books for $2 🤯 these things are usually $10 so I was pumped

Character Toys: Whether you're a collector or looking for toys for imaginative play, thrift shops are a goldmine for character toys. You might stumble upon beloved classics or rare finds that add a nostalgic touch to your collection. I actually found an epic cabbage patch baby, but am more in the Paw Patrol Era with my son so that’s what I’m usually on the lookout for 😂

Interactive Toys: there are so many learning and creative interactive toys found at thrift stores. From educational games and puzzles to musical instruments and electronic gadgets, you can discover budget-friendly options that entertain and engage your kids minds. This piano was $3 where in a normal store would be $30+

Books: Fuel your reading habit without burning a hole in your wallet by browsing the book section at thrift shops. From children's classics to bestselling novels and DIY guides, you never know what literary gems you'll uncover on the shelves. Books are usually $1 or less, which is amazing and you won’t mind if they get destroyed 👌

Activity Tables + Walkers: these are musts for babies and toddlers but they legit only use them for 3-6 months which stings to buy at $50-$100 so y’all buy second hand with these; most are basically brand new because like I said babies don’t use them for long. This table was $4 🤯

Happy hunting, and may your thrift shop adventures be filled with fantastic finds for your kiddos.
