I have oodles of ideas and have been finding amazing inspiration across the web! So, the new trend in my Wednesday posts will be to feature 5 ideas I have either tried for found.

You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...
