Backpack Toys

We travelled on an airplane,
It was full with children’s noise,
You carried your own backpack
Filled with most essential toys.

One stripy stuffy Zebra,
Not a real one from the zoo.
Two Sylvanian rabbits,
One in pink, one in blue.

Three favourite puzzles,
Packed neatly in a tin,
Ready for your busy mind
To lose itself within.

Four wax crayons:
Red, blue, green and yellow.
Five squishy flumps,
Made of pure marshmallow.

Six sparkly marbles,
Ready to be rolled.
Seven origami birds,
Ready to unfold.

Eight sheets of stickers,
With a notepad fresh and new;
So please be kind and share,
Give the little ones a few?

Nine squares on a puzzle cube,
A colour for each side;
When finally you match them
You shout aloud with pride.

And finally, the best ‘til last,
The thing we can’t forget;
Ten, yes TEN, travel snacks,
Is it time to take off yet?
