Back at the end of July, when I was busy packing up things in my apartment to move and finishing up paperwork for graduation, I still found a little time to go out thrifting and to some garage sales. On one morning I was happy to come home with quite a few fun things!
The baby Popple and Fashion Star Filly came from one sale. I was so pleased to find the Popple (even if she was very dirty) - she is so cute! I was very glad to find that she cleaned up easily, I was afraid some things would be permanent. The Betsey Clark bridge set of cards came from a church rummage sale that was at the very end of its run and offering everything half off. I wasn't sure if I would be able to sell them or not, but I listed them and they have already been mailed out to their new owner in Australia!
I thought this Keys of Learning toy was also very interesting. It sparked a memory for me - I am pretty sure that one of the dentist offices I went to as a little kid had one. It is recommended for ages 2-7, but it seems like a pretty complicated toy for a 2-year old! Perhaps kids are smarter than I think they are. All of the blocks start off in a little slot and to remove them you have to put the right color/shape key in the hole to lift the block out of the slot. Next the block goes in the center where you put them all together into a puzzle. Definitely an interesting toy!
