Why didn't I think of that?

I've been collecting bread ties for YEARS... not joking... just waiting for a great idea on how to use them. 

Found it!

Check out these cuties:

What a great way to wrap up homemade Christmas goodies!  For complete directions on how to make them, click HERE.

From Trash to Treasure

Meet Dotty...

She's a revamped trash can that will be the hit of your classroom!  I've used Dotty a number of ways, from collecting estimation guesses to feeding her beginning sounds pictures cut from magazines.  The possibilities are endless!  The children love her and cannot wait to see what she'll be "hungry for" from week to week.

To make one of your own, simply get a desktop trashcan with a flip lid (mine came from Dollar Tree) and decorate it to your taste.  I used a hot glue gun, fun foam, construction paper, and ribbon to create Dotty.

Have fun!
