Target Run #2 (yeah right)

Let's just go with this as my second trip lol I am making up for lost time. I didn't go in a Target in March, April, or May. June and July are another story.

You text your friend this as she's on a road trip!
The girl says "Oh I will pick those up when we get back."




They had rainbow and crayon journals.
Glad that I grabbed them when I did
because when I went back for trip #3,
the shelf was bare!



Here were the balance games.
The narwhal and dino were the only two new ones.


 
Number and letter wheels



Magnet number, letters and shapes

These are magnet boards-
if you look closely, there is a red magnet wand attached that
moves the spheres to where they need to go.


Frogs, well duh!
Left is a container and the right is an uncrustable sandwich maker.


Here are some of the erasers. 
I usually buy 4 packs.
2 for me and 2 for another teacher friend.



Here is the video of the haul.




Hop back over next week for another haul lol
