I think I am addict to the Dollar spot at Target! Whenever I go to the store, I make sure I pass by the dollar spot and see what new things they have…Here are some of the last findings….

And here is my little Pinky trying them ASAP!!!

Matching Upper and lower case letters!

Animals actions cards!!!…there are some with animals sounds, too!

The animals action cards were her favorite ones….and mines, too!! She looks so cute doing like the animals. In the first 3 photos she is doing like a frog: jumping, jumping and jumping! Next, like a kitten, flying like a butterfly and camouflaging like a chameleon!!!

Also, these are great for our workboxes or trays!!!

There’re still available with more great School tools!!!

It seems like we had too many school activities every week but I found that everything can be well organized on our school corner mixing the Montessori trays with the Workboxes system. This mix really suits us because:

• We don’t have a comfortable prepared school room (rented apartment)
• Just have one child always besides mommy looking for what I am doing
• Pinky loves to have different options available
• Mommy doesn’t have to think to much in order to come up with an activity
• Mommy can have a better idea with what Pinky worked already
• Better organization and more space available
• Sanity for mommy: Don’t see her beautiful trays are over the place

Here is an idea of how we mixed some kind of Montessori activities with the Workboxes:

Montessori-inspired activities, worksheets, art, Education cubes 

Those big activities that doesn’t fit inside the boxes can stay on trays!!!

Close-up to our workboxes. To keep Pinky interested on completing an activity or clean up after finishing, she can select a princess prize (I printed and laminated some princesses pics and hold them to the boxes with Velcro)

There you can see our homeschool corner (excellent for the two of us; doesn’t take too much space and everything is in its place)

So far, it is great!!!!
