Dollar store fun

Duane and I walked over to the Dollar Tree the other day while we waited for the tires on our van to get done. I love wandering in there and looking for some great “finds”. I wasn’t disappointed!

As we get closer to the new school year to start they are getting more great educational items in. I found some fun file folder games. They had several to choose from. The boys and I played a Matching Time one today. If one of the boys won they got 15 minutes on the computer to play a game and if I won I got a 5 minute massage per boy. Needless to say, I am writing this while enjoying a wonderful shoulder massage.

matching time This was such a fun little game, and so easy to store since they are only folders.

pregnancy 036 They were working so hard at “trying” to beat mom….didn’t happen! There is so much more of a challenge for them when they play against a parent.

shape up I got this game for Poppet and Lolly.

They also had some great packs of adjective, adverb, label and sight word strips.
