Shape buttons

Miss Livi Lou and I are enjoying some one on one time together while the older two visit grammy and papa for a few days. :) As we were wandering around Hobby Lobby yesterday we came across a bag of colorful buttons in many different shapes. I think it was priced at $4.99, but of course I had the 40% coupon with me, so it was a nice little bargain.

We will probably use them for many different projects (making necklaces, bracelets, maybe on pipe cleaners so it is easier for Livi's little fingers; sorting into bowls by color or shape; and I am sure Aidan will want to use some in one of his cardboard and paper and tape inventions).

Yesterday we just grabbed her Sesame Street placemat off the table which had a bunch of different shapes on it. (I think we found the placemat at Walmart for a buck). Livi had a good time finding shape buttons to match the shapes on her mat. She was even being particular and wanted it to be the same color as on the mat.

Just one of the fun things Livi and I are getting to do in our nice quiet house. :)
