new finds and additions!

this has turned into somewhat of an obsession and this week i added a few new exciting items to our activity closet!

from left to right...

1. a melissa and doug chunky wooden puzzle.  this was a $1 find on varage sale.  i needed some farm themed loose elements and this is perfect and you can't beat the price.  i disinfected the puzzle and added the pieces to my storage containers and kept the backing to be used as a puzzle in the future.

2.  kinetic sand!  this stuff is so fun to play with.  i got the original brand in a 3 pound bag on amazon for under $12.  this is a purchase that based off of reviews is worth getting the real stuff for a few extra bucks. click here for amazon link.

3.  magnetic wand.  i have been wanting one of these and i had no idea they are used in bingo with magnetic chips.  this set came from amazon for under $7 as well as 100 chips, the chips are small but fun for counting and sorting and look pretty in a sensory bin.  click here for amazon link.  you can find wands in all different colors and the chips also come in larger bags of mixed colors.
