Wood Pioneer Logs

With the current state of the economy, I've really curbed my personal shopping. I confess that it has been a lot harder for me to curb my homeschool shopping though. We just believe in investing in our children's education and its hard for me to pass up an educational toy, game or manipulative. But I am trying. I am definitely learning to be more selective and price sensitive. It doesn't come naturally to me, but I am learning.

Constructive Playthings is having a sale on Wood Pioneer Logs (XX-9431). There are 200 real wooden log components currently on sale for $20.99. They are not the name brand version----but they appear to be just as good and I don't think my boys will notice.

I placed my order this morning.
Let the building begin!

We have those, and they're just great! Our girls like to build log homes like Laura Ingalls'. Good buy, if you ask me!

I am also becoming more savvy about shopping resale/thrift/consignment shops. Some of the very best educational toys are unappreciated and therefore go unopened and un-played with. They wind up at these shops for moms like us to grab up for a fraction of the cost!

I'm a proud Christian homeschooling mother of 5 and wife to a Road Warrior CEO. Four of our children came through the miracle of IVF and 1 through the miracle of adoption. Before I became a home educator I was a interior decorator, event planner, store owner and professional organizer! Now I get to use my past professional skills (and a few new ones) to the benefit of my family and our home.
