Dino
We’re off on a family holiday to Borneo soon and my 5 year old son is especially excited. He sees orangutans as part of his extended family and is particularly looking forward to the creepy crawlies and snakes. He’s so excited in fact, that he took himself off to his bedroom for half an hour and packed his own suitcase. The contents give an interesting insight into the inner workings of a 5 year old boys mind.
Packing consists of…
- Chicken Little mini-wheely case
- Pair of Nike gold shin pads
- Pirates of the Caribbean wallet
- Pirates of the Caribbean sweatband
- Instantly expanding frisbee
- Ben 10 cards
- Wall-E pocket pinball game
- M&M circus master figure
- Home made ‘sock snake’
- Santa hat
- Pirelli cap
- Dinosaur egg with integral eyeball
- Sponge plane
- Assorted magnets
- Dragon heart jewel
- Plastic giant cockroach
- Vampire teeth
- Dinosaur (Ankylosaur)
- Beaded lizard keyring
- Fold-away magnifying glass
- Compass
- Wooden cage (for catching snake heads)
On first pass, pretty random. But with my Ray Mears hat on, not a bad spread. Reflective shin pads for signaling aircraft, cap to protect from the scorching sun, sweatband for temporary bandages, Ben 10 cards to sort out minor differences with fellow survivors / natives, home made sock to distract predators and so on. Even the S hat can be used to filter disease carrying particles from drinking water
Ok, maybe the M&M figurine is a bit superfluous but all in all, not bad.
