Dollar Tree: Cheap Preschool Activity

The Dollar Tree is one of my favorite stores to shop for fun and creative things to do with my kiddos. I recently picked up this photo album to help create some ABC fun for my almost 3 year old.

I just threw in some flash cards that we already had and handed her a dry erase marker so she could  "trace" the letters. If you don't already have these on hand you can also pick them up at the Dollar Tree. This seriously took me 1 minute to put together and entertained her this afternoon for at least an hour!

What I love about this activity is that you can adjust it to your child's interests and learning level. Here are some other fun ideas I'm planning on trying out...

• Numbers & Counting (trace the number or have the child draw pictures corresponding to the number)
• Shapes (trace the whole shape, or draw half and have the child complete the shape by drawing the other half)
• Feelings (write basic feelings like sad, angry, happy and have the child draw a face that corresponds to that emotion)
• Doodles (include interesting magazine cutouts to spark imagination and have the child finish the picture)
• & MORE!

Because it's dry erase and the pictures are interchangeable the possibilities are endless and for $3.00 (or less!) you have a very easy (and educational) activity!

JustFab: My FREE Boots + 20% Off!

I can't wait for these boots from JustFab to arrive! I have been wanting a pair since last season, but couldn't justify the big $ for them...thankfully I scored these for FREE! I did have to pay $4.99 shipping but it was worth it for such a fabulous deal!

I scored these for free the same way I scored my daughters 3-piece clothing set from FabKids for free...I signed up but didn't purchase anything right away and a couple weeks (maybe months?) later I received a special e-mail invite for a FREE item! This is just one of the many ways I am able to help clothe myself and my family on the cheap.

JustFab is very similar to ShoeDazzle where members receive monthly shoe and handbag selections based on their personal style, and the items are handpicked for them by their own style expert. It's like having a personal shopper and celebrity stylist in one! You can become a member here, but you don't have to wait weeks (or months) to get a great deal --new members can take 20% off their first item + get FREE shipping!

Come back and let us know what fabulous items you score!
