This is for Katie and Erin-
The prize box is a box of goodies I have for my kids to choose a "prize" from when they have accumulated enough smiley faces (they achieve "smiley faces by having a green or yellow day-red is bad) . I only do prize box on Fridays unless there's some kind of emergency:)
I have some of the following in there:
gum, some candy (not much though), play dough, stickers, happy meal prizes (donated), books (new to my kids-gently used), if they're lucky-rings/necklaces (the cheap plastic kind), sonic ice cream coupons, etc...
I have most things donated...so it usually depends on my donors:)
Have I answered your burning question?
