I hate those big stores with a passion. We also buy American made as often as possible. But we also have this dilemma. From time to time we do the Dollar Store thing because it's a fun treat for the kids to be able to pick out anything they want in the entire store without us spending a fortune.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00767006723462815362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852404808836733096.post-7147275106726386202009-06-03T16:49:18.129-06:002009-06-03T16:49:18.129-06:00Not to worry.

How about a poster with shapes or letters that she can color in?

You would just need to buy a sticky paper to print them on, which might be as bad as the dollar store stickers, but you'd also be supporting locals?Sha'Niquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296408924217920819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852404808836733096.post-65008921021590054862009-06-01T08:20:20.366-06:002009-06-01T08:20:20.366-06:00Thanks, Lindsey.

I neglected to mention that the clover headbands for Doodle would be coming from YOUR yard, since we don't have any clover. ;-)Mama beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245565933429926406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852404808836733096.post-16376335347074391562009-05-31T23:00:09.420-06:002009-05-31T23:00:09.420-06:00Stickers.

Ari usually doesn't even remember he gets a treat, that really was only incentive for him on days 1-3. <br /><br />As far as the dollar store goes it's my understanding (not that I'm an expert) that a lot (but not all) of their inventory consists of liquidation items and overstock crap that would otherwise have the potential to be tossed. Something to look into; you just might be saving some stickers from a landfill??? <br /><br />You know...you could draw a little picture on 100% recycled paper, use some of that sticky goo leaking from the tree in your backyard, slap it on the back and wallah a homemade sticker!<br /><br />Good luck.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609260095662619238noreply@blogger.com
