Who would have thought that a little orange plastic trash can could bring so much joy to 3 little boys!? When I was at Brandcation I got 3 small bags to give to the boys when I got home. Little did I know they contained The Trash Pack and that these Trash Packs would become such a big part of my life. Immediately my boys feel in love with these dirty, trashy creatures and a bond was formed.
I love anything that gets them excited and gets them to use their imaginations. And The Trash Pack gives them one more thing that they can talk to their friends about. Since autism often leaves a child not knowing how to relate to other kids, I love it when they find something that gives them a natural topic and that they are interested in, just like their friends. My boys have put the Street Sweeper and the Garbage Truck on their Christmas lists. Thank goodness they haven’t found out about the liquid ooze pack. That might just be mom’s limit! But I do kind of love these little Trash Pack guys. They are sort of gross, but what boy doesn’t love gross? They come in small packages, and what kid doesn’t love little things like themselves? And now we are seeing them all over TV. Kinda cool.
The Trash Pack can be found at Walmart, Toys R Us, Walgreens, Five Below, Kmart and Target. They come in individual packs and multi-packs. I suggest a multi-pack, myself. My personal favorite is Scummy Mummy from the Bin Monsters collection. Which one is yours?
