Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, Kimberly! I am just thrilled that you’re enjoying my blog so much! Yay!! I’m so glad you found me too!

I have this button and bead pinboard that you can check out, Amy (all of my boards are organized alphabetically if you’re ever looking for a topic like buttons, animals, water play etc.). Also, I keep our buttons in a shallow box so the kids can access them and play with them whenever they want. They love sifting and sorting and just running their fingers through them. I’ll give them jars and bottles and scoops and they fill them up and dump them out and start again. It’s great for fine motor skills and such a fun sensory experience. Here’s the link to my pinboard: http://www.pinterest.com/happyhooligans/buttons-beads/

Yay! Gotta love timing like that, Mary Catherine!
