Tip of the Day

November 15, 2011 By Melanie Roberts 4 Comments

Instead of buying expensive learning books for your little ones; go to the Dollar Store and buy the Coloring Books where they can learn to write letters, numbers, math or anything you like; take each book and tear the pages out, place them in sheet protectors in a folder and hand your little one a dry eraser pen and they can practice their skills over and over and over; very cost effective and can be changed anytime you find another Dollar book!!

    Great idea. Instead of dollar store books, there are tons of coloring pages online that can also be printed as well.
