Quiet Time Play Tins for Children

By loweern

Quiet Time Play Tins for Children - open Altoid type tins with cute scenes and felt animals etc.Here are smiles in a tin. I make these little slices of everyday life always with a dog, cat, or other critter in the scene. The tins depict recognizable objects and always have a removable animal or object that hopefully make you or your little one smile. These are great for keeping kids busy and quiet on car trips or in doctor's offices of anywhere where a quiet diversion is needed.
