Target and Dollar Tree

 I hopped over to Target and Dollar Tree


DT: shark pencil bag and superstar award


Target: Line makers, handwashing timer,  and zoo tattoos.

Line makers- you roll them across the page and it prints lines to write on.

I hopped to Target.

 



Kid-safe headphones- these are for my 3rd grader. They had three different color combinations.

More double sided border (apparently I bought it twice lol)

cable ties- for the shark!! 

I plan to put letters/numbers/shapes/colors and use clothespins to clip.
Stay tuned for the finished product.
I plan to laminate first and write with a sharpie later. maybe lol  
maybe since I have two sets, I will write first and then laminate.

Counting Gumballs

 I am always looking for new and fun things for fine motor work and found these gumball machines and got to work!

They could be for morning bins or centers.




Children will place the same number of counters:

*pom poms

*beads

*mini erasers

*play dough

on top of the gumball machines.

You could add tweezers or tongs for added fine motor work.

I print on card stock, laminate, and then cut apart.

I also have the same idea but as a polar bear theme. Hop over to my blog to check them out in action.


Hop over here to grab them :)



The elephant chopsticks are from Dollar Tree a million years ago.

Te hands set I think WalMart.

Kinderpond shops: Dollar Tree Edition


I hopped over to Dollar Tree again!




Here are building block containers:


I am hoping to find more Colors of the World crayons.
I am hoping to find one for each of my students.
They were on display with a coloring book- in the same display.

I will let you know about those fun crayons. 


I love sharks, I am not sure it will make it to school. ;( 


More pencils for the writing center.


Here were some backdrops for ocean/beach week


Yes, I bought more happy birthday crowns
did I have to look back on my photos to see which colors I had
already bought in the middle of Dollar Tree?  Also yes lol
I looked back at this post for the photo lol


I thought the green one was a dino? yes but they all have fish tales for the zipper pulls.


Seuss puzzles

I am going to see how big these are-
I am hoping they will fit in my morning bin drawers.


More color puzzles
I am hoping these will fit in the morning bins too!


I use these as themed pointers.


Yes, these are all the same just the outside is different!

Kinderpond Shops Dollar Tree

 





I bought the mini chalkboards for signs in my room.

I had a co-teacher last year, so I bought an extra just in case we 

work  together again :)


I grabbed this table scatter for sensory bottles.

The top ones are foam and the bottom ones
are metalic.


Jumbo-ish cards.
I laid the frog one down for comparison. 


More pen pointers
I like to have options :)


More scented pens and markers.
I have used smelly markers/pens forever!
Kids like them no matter if you're 4 or in 5th grade :) 

Stay tuned for a "toy test"
to see how they work :)


Yes they are sharpeners-
add a dowel and they become pointers!


I had the pink tiara so I added a yellow one
for birthday celebrations :)


Here are more squishy toys for the calm-down area.
Each month, we get new ones added, and the old
ones are put away.  We practice as a class before they go 
into the calm-down area.


These are GIANT ice cream cone cups. 
The blue cup is for comparison.
