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.

Kinderpond Shops at Bullseye's Playground






Do you have a magnet center in your room?

I used to use the back of my question of the day board,
but over the years, the kids have gotten rougher and knock
over the stars on the other side.

I am going to put the magnet center in my reading loft.


Wild animal magnets
There are two other sets that I am still on the hunt for!



Color books of stickers 


This is a magnet container great for our pond unit. 


Shark magnet container perfect for the ocean unit.




Letters and numbers
I use these the first few weeks of school,
either in morning bins or centers.

I just bought two packs, 
just showing the back and front.



Here are some cool crayons.
Maybe put them in the writing center.



Here are two puzzles
there was a third one, a caterpillar,
 but we do insects at the end of the year,
and the caterpillar only goes up to 10.
