Thrift Store Treasures

Here are some wooden Melissa and Doug toys that I stumbled upon during a recent visit to Kangaroo Kids on Clybourn. This is a local consignment store that stocks only children's clothing, toys and books. Everything in here is in such great condition and very reasonably priced! It is perfect for helping me to set up my home Montessori activities. I am also in the middle of creating a library for Harry. I picked up a beautiful book here too for just 2 dollars! 'God Bless our Fall'. I just love the beautiful illustrations throughout the book and it really captures the traditions of Fall, or Autumn as we say in Ireland.  It is now his bed-time reading story for the season.

Harry loves the wooden bead maze and it keeps him occupied and focused for a good while so I can get other chores done in the house. The animal puzzle is for a bit later on. For now he just likes to chew on the giant puzzle knobs.  Whatever keeps him quiet!
