My first grader wants to carry a little purse, but I'm so not girly I don't know what to put in it. Can you help?

The kid is into the books about Fancy Nancy:
http://www.amazon.com/Fancy-Nancy-Jane-Oconnor/dp/0060542098

The purse is about twice the size of a jeans pocket, and she'll only have it say, when shopping, going to family gatherings, in the car, those sorts of simple things.

Me, I have only an ID sized wallet in my back pocket and my keys hooked to my beltloop, and have NO CLUE what would go in ANYONE's purse.
  • Sure, here's some ideas
  • She's too young, talk her out of the purse
  • I have no clue either

    a coin purse, chapstick, toys, whatever she wants to carry around with her that will fit in it.

    A penny, for good luck...
    A tiny notebook and pen, so she can make lists and take notes...
    A tiny mirror and comb...
    Tiny tissues...
    A tiny candy...

    I did! It was on the third page back. I do not understand. Oh, well, I got it! Speaking of fixes (I'm too lazy to look up which forum it was in) does your "more" button work now? Mine didn't earlier this morning, but it just did, so maybe...!
    Oh, sure. When I was her age, we had little toy purses with fake lipstick and junk -- we loved them and took them everywhere! Wouldn't they have been more fun if they had pencil and paper to write on?! And, I'm pretty sure Nancy carries a mirror in her purse -- you just KNOW she cares! (I forgot the tiny shades... Good thing she's so tiny!)

    She will probably lose it but let her have it and put a little pack of tissues and maybe a little lip gloss... the avon kind, a pencil .... no cash or credit cards!

    Mm... if she really wants one, just let her put what she wants in there.
    WITHIN reason...
    :P
    I think she's too young to have one, though.
    She could lose it in a second, if she's not careful...
    Eh, but it couldn't hurt... :)

    A picture of her family-so she can show off, a hankie-to teach her to dab at her nose-and lunch money. Enjoy!

    I had to ask my 6 year old what's in her purse. She said gloves, money and a Barbie notepad.

    I always did that. I left her notes everywhere. Even in her lunch box. Now that she is 12, she would be embarrassed. Maybe I should start again?
