Stocking up for the room

I'm constantly on the look out for items to use with therapy. Most common toys work great for fine motor skills like blocks and TINKERTOYS! I found this knock off version on the clearance aisle at KMart. Regular price $20.00 and on clearance for $15.00. Not a great clearance if you ask me, but it was a reasonable price (all wood pieces) and these will be great for LJ. They'll be fun because they're building and he loves that, but they'll also be working to help improve his fine motor skills.



Then on the clearance aisle I came across this desktop easel. My sister-in-law (Chrissy) had said that an easel is a good thing to use as it makes the writing surface into a more natural position. This deal was more of a sale than clearance knocking the price from $19.99 to $18.00. But again, for an all wood toy and with a great use, the price was worth it.




This easel has a magnetic dry erase surface on one side and a chalkboard surface on the other side. I can see us getting plenty of use from it.
