MOM'S QUICK TIP OF THE WEEK - THRIFTY STENCILS




Welcome to Mom's Quick Tips Thursdays! Each week I will either post or have a guest post have a Mom's Quick Tips to share with you! As a mom to 4 (and trying for our 5th) life is busy. I am always looking for ways to make life easier whether it be doing something quicker, easier or thrifty!

If you are interested in sharing a Mom Tip as a guest blogger on my blog feel free to fill out the following FORM.

My Quick thrifty tip this week is all about reusing.

I admit it before I throw certain items away I think about how I can reuse them. What about the left over punch out pieces for games? I have several of them saved and my kids use them as stencils.

I put several different one's in my daughter's workbox this week and she loved tracing the shapes.

These are a fun way for little ones to learn their shapes too!

  11. What a great idea for learning to draw shapes! I can so see my little man (when he gets a little bigger) drawing the circles, cutting them out, and playing with giant confetti. :)
