I have done this before for our Preschool and the ideas are almost endless. Here are a few ideas:
1) Baker’s Basket- use a baking cookie sheet or a large cake pan and fill with some of the following: oven thermo, minute timer, potholders, kitchen towels, mixing bowls, measuring spoons, wooden spoons, spatulas, cookbook, cooling rack, recipe cards, apron, etc.
2) Pasta Lover’s Basket- use a large collander lined with a pretty red and white checered napkins with the following: pastas of all neat shapes and sizes, pasta sauce, cheese grinder, pepper grinder, parmesan cheese, breadsticks, wine, pasta cookbook.
3) Tea Lover- Serving Tray with the following on it: Napkins, teapot, teacups with saucers, chocolate dipped spoons, tea cookies, scones, teas, candies, cookbook with recipes for teas
4) Gardener- large Picker’s Basket with the following: How to book, clay pots, gloves, tools, recipe book on veggies, seeds, plants, soil
5) Chocoholic- A big tin filled with everything you could imagine chocolate along with baker’s choco and cookbook
6) Crafter- Sewing basket filled with the following: fabrics, ribbons, buttons in a jar, fabric glue, paints, glue gun with glue sticks, silk flowers, scissors, threads
Computer Nut, Sports enthuisiast, Movie Buff. Hope this helps some.
I think if it’s a pre-school ice cream social raffle it should be items appropriate for pre-schoolers to handle and perhaps help in filling. Perhaps a large plastic dump truck filled with healthy snack packs, different types of sprinkles for ice cream, party cups, colorful plastic spoons… colorful small items that children would appreciate. Sand buckets, tiny wagons, anything that a child would want could be used to fill. And we want our kids to participate and learn to give. We all want what makes our children happy, make it so desirable any child would want to take it home.
Hi,
Many of this would depend on the theme however here is what I can toss out to you.

Could you please list the themes? That would be a huge help in trying to come up with creative containers for each one.
you could do a ice cream theme with ice cream dishes, a scoop, toppings and sprinkles..movie theme with microwave popcorn blockbuster card, candy.
