By


It is still Wednesday.... which means, I'm still on time!!!!
This week's featured item = Kleenex Boxes/Tissue Boxes

I don't have any great ideas that I have used personally for this one, but I sure have a lot of boxes hanging around.... So, I've been scouring the web looking for some great ideas. Here are a few that I found:

Aren't these cars adorable! I found this idea over at Simple As That. I know I have quite a few little ones who will absolutely love this project!


If you are going to make some cars, then you might as well continue the projects with this great traffic light that I found over at Parents Connect

I love this toy phone made from a couple of boxes! I know my little ones are constantly pretending to call people! I found this over at firstpalette.

Last week, there was a great link up for using baby food jars/containers. There were some GREAT entries over there. After some suggestions from Michelle over at This and that about kids.... I have opened all of the linkys for at least a year. So please take some time and visit the older posts if you have great ideas to share! I have also added a feedburner account. (I'm still new to some of this, and if it needs tweaking, please let me know!!!)

Anyway, it was hard to pick just one to feature from last week... but here it is:

When you visit this link, you'll have to use a translator, unless of course, you are fluent in Swedish! Choosing this one is sort of cheating, because it is not one idea, but a compilation of them! Thanks to Maria over at Forskoleburken.

On to this week's link up! Kleenex/Tissue Boxes- It's your turn!

Do you have a great idea or post that you can share using kleenex/tissue boxes? If so, please join in linking up!

Here are the rules:

1) The post MUST use Kleenex/Tissue Boxes (or a similar sized cardboard box)

2) The post MUST be family friendly.

There are no other requirements. If you would like, I would love if you linked back to his linky party, but it is not required. I would hope that you will investigate the links shared and visit some of the other blogs, but I'm not imposing any "blog hop/linky" rules. Please, if you do find great ideas and photos... Give credit where credit is due :).

If you have been featured and feel inclined, my featured button is available to grab from the sidebar.

Next week, I will feature my favorite link up and I'll be posting about plastic Crystal Light Containers! Hopefully, I'll be on time!

I don't have pictures of this, but we used to play a sight word game, and one of the cards said "achoo." then you had to sneeze and put your cards back in the box if you got that. My students LOVED that game.

I also don't have a photo but we painted them deep blue with yellow stars and stuffed them with chiffon scarves for the babies to pull out.

Santa's Dead

By
"LOOK! It's Santa!" I exclaimed in my best impression of elf as I noticed a child putting on a Santa suit. "I'm not SANTA! I'm -------" "Oh, I thought you were Santa." "No, Santa's dead. I guess I have to deliver the presents now" (with a deep sigh) "Santa's dead?? What happened?" "Yeah, Santa's dead. It's a long story" and.. just like that he skipped off to play.  Clearly the story was too long to tell, and he had other things that were more important to do than to share it with me.  Many programs are looking at the calendar and providing materials and lesson plans revolving around spring and Easter. We tend not to look too closely at the calendar and instead follow the lead of the children. We have many holiday related materials available to the children, but they are available year round. On any given day of the year you will most likely find a child dressed up as Santa (in fact...

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. 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...
