Five Below and Target Dollar Spot


Yesterday I went to Five Below for the very first time! A store recently opened in my town and I have been so excited to go see what they have to offer. I have to say I definitely had more restraint than I normally would at The Dollar Tree (for better or worse), but they did have some cute things.

I got these ice cubes that are perfect for the summer! There were 3 different sets: regular cubes, fruit, and flowers. I got all 3 of course.


I have lots of ideas for these babies. They would be great math manipulatives, although note there are only 16. Also, they could put used as phonemic awareness manipulatives. I'm excited to see how much use I get out of these cubes!

I went to Target to get a new shower curtain liner and I only got about 6 extra things, so I think I showed quite a bit of restraint.



 I love those little pails and I see them all the time in the Dollar Spot. They are so useful in the classroom! I've used them to hold supplies and I love using them as a way to organize centers. It doesn't hurt that they are adorable too!





I also love these mini erasers. There are 60 in each bag and they are perfect math manipulatives. Target carries new bags of erasers for different holidays and seasons. I like to pick them up when I can. They are great for counting, sorting, and patterning. 

Check back for a follow-up post detailing how I put these goodies into action!
