Here is what you were looking for, I think...
"McDonald's thought the boxes would be the must-have item. The first Happy Meals came in boxes that -- when combined -- formed a circus train. The toys inside included a stencil, puzzle book, wrist wallet, top and erasers. They learned kids wanted the toys, not the boxes."
That was June 1979.
ETA: My favorite was the Halloween buckets that the meal came in. There was a green one that looked like Frankenstein's head, an orange pumpkin, and a glow-in-the-dark ghost.
Also, this Happy Meal website said that McDonald's is the largest toy distributor in the world.
