It's been a while since I found a killer deal at Once Upon A Child, and honestly it makes me really irritated when I go in randomly for months and there's NOTHING good. I'm talking about toys mostly.
I went in to attempt finding some Easter shirts for the boys, and it was a fail. As always, I browsed for golashes and toys. No golashes. No amazing deals, but I will admit I'm more picky than I used to be. It's partly because we have a good selection at home after 5.5 years of parenting, and also due to my new rule of only open ended toys that span more than one age.
I did manage to find Dado Planks. They are a Fat Brain Toy that sells for $40 new, and they are open ended...and I got them for $6.50!
We've had a great time creating with them. These were our first three ideas:
Augustine had the idea of building an elevated train, so we imagined living in Chicago and riding the El.
Then it was demolition time and the legs were taken off of each elevated section, leaving a palette type form. So naturally we got the fork lifts and started transporting palettes.
I'd say there's a lot of fun still to be had!
