My Spring Fling with Captain Obvious!

 I was in Wal-Mart over the weekend. and I happened upon their Easter aisles.  Well I did a little gasp and sprint when I saw these tubs for 97 cents!  Yes please and thank you very much!  I love my math containers but these tubs will bring an element of fun to our math and literacy activities! 

 

I brought them home and introduced them to the family and pets.  

We are in love.

{I am so sorry that my office appears to be yellow--it really isn't}

 Next, I saw these!  PERFECT for game pieces!  The bunny trays are ten frames ya'll! {I thought for sure they would have 12 holes for a dozen eggs but NO it's ten!!!} My screams echoed through the pet and beauty aisles upon finding these!!!

I put two together to make a 20 frame!  {Captain obvious here- I am sure you can figure that out}

Or just one for a ten frame!

10-2= hoppy math!

 

Next I found these egg shaped bowls which will hold my spring manipulatives!! 

 

These foam pieces are great for small group when I am working on missing addend or subtraction!  I can already see their excitement when doing math just because they can pick up these glittery foamy pieces!  16 - 4 anyone?! 

 I set up my new math tubs and game pieces to see how I would like them and I even played them with my kids.  My 11 and 12 year old got so excited about the finds!  {I must be raising them right}
