I know, I know... It's August. Time to think about going back to school and to apple orchards. But friends, this is the best time to stock up on stocking stuffers and teacher gifts for Christmas. Many craft stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or Joann Fabric have $1 or 2/$5 bins full of simple kids craft kits, note cards, jewrly kits, lip gloss, recipe cards, magnets, photo frames, puzzles, dress up masks and stickers. Because of the new school year, you can usually find teacher mugs, notepads and apple accessories. Be creative! Post your fabulous off-season finds in the comments below!
Joann Fabrics (in the Metro Center, Peoria) always have unique $1 toys. Today I found princess and pirate masks made out of balsa wood that you color on your own with markers or paint and hold up to your face with a large tongue depressor-like stick. Makes a quick summer time craft!
ReplyDeleteThis one is a little pricier, but I have to share. You know those silly bandz bracelets all the young girls love? Well, there are Christian ones out there. Go to believerbands.com I am hoping they might come up with a Christmas themed set.
