New Blocks

Today I bought 2 packages of sponges for $1 each.  They each contained 10 sponges so that is 20 sponges for $2.  When we got home I cut the sponges up.  Yep, you heard me.  I didn't buy them for cleaning and when Brogan saw what I was doing she asked why I was cutting up her sponges.  She thought I bought them for her to paint with.  Ummm, yeah, ok, I don't know where that came from?!

I cut one package long ways into three pieces and the other short ways into 5 pieces.  Why you ask?  Or maybe not but since you are reading this I am going to tell you anyway...

To make these building blocks...

Would you ever guess those were sponges?

I noticed Rylen isn't playing with the wooden blocks as much as he once was and I saw something like this somewhere not to long ago.  I thought it would be fun for him to play with something a little different and it would give me an extra activity to keep him occupied once we start school.  I was right!  They were fun!  What was even more fun you ask?  That Brogan and Christian had just as much fun playing with them.  It was even neater to see how they each played with them a little different. 

I think it might be the best $2 ever spent on sponges!
