I swear that this is the last button day - maybe! There are just so many things to do with buttons.
My button basket has a permanent home on the shelf all year. I find my buttons at Thrift shops and Walmart had a big bag of random buttons for a few $$ last fall. The kidlets use the buttons for counting, sorting, as pretend money, to make "stew" ...
The dollar store has had some cool small buttons sets recently. I have also seen them in blue and purple.
and see what the kids will do.

Some days, I put out the buttons
