There was a kids exchange a good while back, it was for a barbie/hotwheels depending on your child. The person that started the exchange never followed through with it and went AWOL on us. Thanks to many wonderful "elves", we finally did get the exchange closed out. There were many children that sent out a package and waited a very long time to receive one.
I am sorry, I really didn't want to give any negative feedback on a kids exchange and I have participated in many adult ones and never had any problems. I am happy to report that eventually every child that participated did receive a package in the mail.
I am sure that this one would go smoother if the one that starts it will keep up with all of the information and everyone reports when they mail out and receive. Communication is very important in exchanges. I hope all goes well with this one. I think the kids would really enjoy the coloring books and those are inexpensive and easy to mail. Good luck!
