I {heart} the Dollar Tree!

I love the Dollar Tree! They always have the cutest stuff at the *greatest* price! You didn’t even know you needed it until you saw it was only one dollar 😉

Last weekend I went to the dollar tree and found these adorable cut out coordinates!

How cute right!? And $3 later…three instant centers!

First I laminated them, for two reasons. One, to give them a longer life span 😉 and two, because I have *commitment issues*

 I definitely knew I wanted to use them to make center activities, but I didn’t know exactly how I wanted to use them. And what if thought of a cute center, and then something better came to mind *after* I already made and laminated them!? {see…commitment issues…} So the only possible solution was for me to laminate them before I wrote on them with my permanent marker. That way, I could change them if I needed 😉

Matching opposites

Sorting digraphs

I decided to use the paint can and brushes for number practice.

 But if I wanted to use them for math practice instead, all I would have to do is write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker…

 and viola! All is well in the world again 😉

What would you use them for??
