I love the dollar store. I can go on a shopping spree and only spend $20! I’ve been pinning so many different dollar store kid fun ideas I figured it was time to actually DO one. I had originally pinned the idea from this mom: Play At Home Mom.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Biggest bottle of hair gel available
- Glitter
- Food coloring or finger paint
- Sandwich Bags or larger
- Packing tape
- Cardboard
 |
| Use whatever cardboard you have around the house. |
 |
| Cut to the size of the bag. Leave space for the tape. |
 |
| Fill bag with gel. The less gel the better for writing practice. Squirt in some food coloring and glitter. |
 |
| Tape a border around the baggie to the cardboard. |
 |
| Cut to fit high chair tray if needed. |
 |
| Kidster loves it! |

What a neat idea! These home-spun toys seem to really fuel a child's creativity. Especially wonderful because as they observe (and later make themselves) you making/assembling the item there are many more subtle lessons being given, like: patience, anticipation, working to achieve something, etc, etc. You make a wonderful mother!
