Toys don’t have to be expensive. You may remember from a previous blog our story of buying pool noodles for Jumparoo bar padding. It was difficult finding any pool noodles in late September, and after visiting many, many stores I finally found two in an end-of-the-season 75% off box in K-Mart’s back corner. Unfortunately, we needed one more, so I kept looking. By chance, I walked into a Dollar Store seeking something else and found a whole box of noodles for fifty cents a piece. I bought four more and stacked the extras safely in the corner in case we need to pad something else. Of course the boys found them and immediately christened them toys. Fortunately, they haven’t used them yet to sword fight or retrieve other toys from high shelving, but I know they will.
