Goodwill Haul

The Goodwill is hidden with amazing treasures!! 

We have been looking for mini goodies to create some at home Montessori activities for Nate; one being a mini pitcher and cup so that Nate can practice pouring his own drinks. This is a great 
practical life activity that teaches children to be independent. This was my first visit to a Goodwill 
and I literally felt like a kid in a candy store. The Goodwill is a store where you can donate and buy gently used items.  I initially went in only looking for a small pitcher & cup to fit in Nate's hands but I found other items that I knew I could use for something. We found a white tray that is perfect for teaching children to pour just incase of spillage. If you know me, you know I love all sorts of buckets and baskets so I had to get the blue tin bucket when I saw it. Best of all, all of this ONLY cost us $5!!! You guys, you can't beat those prices anywhere; Not HomeGoods or sorry to say, Target!
