Learning to be inventive...yeah we're talking about me, not the kids! lol...I recently joined Pinterest. Refused to have something else take up my time. I find myself scouring the internet all the time for ideas I never make time to use, so I was thinking, "Why torture myself furthure and join this site?" Welp, I gave in. I saw a pin that sparked an idea. We've used baby wipe boxes to put our playing cards in just like a pic on Pinterest. I've seen people store a variety of items in these wonderful freebees, but I never thought of taking a picture of the item as a label. So this is what I've started doing. Sorry, the pic is dark...too lazy to go edit my mistakes...
Maybe I was on an inventive high because when the boys finally destroyed their abacus alphabet, I got an idea. I have no other way to describe this toy. It was the whole alphabet on this stand that stood up. Each block was on these rods. Looked like an abacus only with these block letters. I finally finished their job and broke the whole thing apart and ended up with this:
I thought and thought and all of a sudden. Tadah! Use them for lacing! And they can lace the alphabet in order! The boys enjoyed it!
I had them working together. Isaac would figure out which letter went next, he'd ask Eli to help find the letter, and then Isaac would lace it. Good practice for both boys!
Eli with his Pooh face. Hmmm....Let's see....
