I have to operate on a very tight budget, so when purchasing activities for the children I often shop long and hard. One of my favorite places to find some really neat works is our local Dollar Store, Michaels, and World Market. I wanted to share with you all some great finds I found for under $2 that the children have been enjoying.
Push pin work $1.00 at Micheals it came with the corkboard.
Carrot clothespin work $1.50 at World Market.
Insect Lacing Cards $1 at Micheals.
Matching Bottles and Caps all four bottles came in a package for $1 at the Dollar Store.
I made this work using a package of Modeling Clay for $1.99 at Micheals. The child hammers or pushes the golf tee into the clay and then balances the marble on the golf tee.
Another reason why I love the Montessori Method if you have a will you can find a way.

I love these! Thank you so much for sharing. We have a World Market here but I've never been. I'll be making a trip this weekend!

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! In Croatia, all things are much more expensive. :-(
