My Saturday newspaper connects me with estate sales around town. I love them.
This week I found very unique objects.
Cultural objects were overflowing at these sales, but I did not need more of those.
I was looking for something I had never seen before and I found them!
Here is what I did bring back to the school!
I added objects like our horseshoes and flat metal objects to tap and pretend to be a blacksmith!
Then I put the blacksmith work in a farm fence box to corral it.
I also bought this taped together box for $8. I saw a tiny colander that intrigued me.
I think many of the contents will be usable.
Immediately I had this toothpick exercise from the box contents.
My goal was to get this tiny stainless steel colander set that I added toothpick sized
plastic vegetables to for a miniature washing exercise. I love it!
Lastly, a $2 basket will hold a $5 large sponge for a "Who Am I?" game.
"I am an animal without a face! Who Am I?"
I always think of and thank the unknown family that these objects came from.
They are treasures to my school and will have a happy new life!

I LOVE your creative ideas with the estate-sale finds! The blacksmith work and miniature washing exercise are too cute! Thanks for linking up with Montessori Monday. I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow

Thank you, everyone!
wow what great stuff, I agree the tiny colander is intriguing. The hammer and anvil are great my son would love smashing nuts on that.
