She told me a silly story (which I transcribed line by line) then illustrated the book pages to match the story. Consider my mind blown. She did such a great job at it all! Btw, this page says Santa came but didn’t bring any presents. He brought a bag of candles (?!). She drew Santa and the Mrs. and… a bag of candles. With wicks!

One bottle empty (for using the dropper and pretending). The other filled with sunflower seeds. Her stethoscope arrived from Amazon yesterday. I added some basic first aid supplies, a notepad for charting, and some stickers for her to give her patients if they are brave. All things I already had laying around the house. I covered the X-rays and eye chart with clear contact paper (all found via google images) and I dug out some alphabet stickers from my stash and labeled the outside with her name and credentials. Frugality FTW! Aside from the steth ($9), the only thing I had to buy was the box itself and it was only 8 bucks. #diy #frugal #preschool #xmas #yule #solstice</p>http://outtajo.tumblr.com/post/38092499221http://outtajo.tumblr.com/post/38092499221Sun, 16 Dec 2012 16:32:40 -0500yulesolsticefrugaldiyxmaspreschool
