I may have mentioned before that I love to shop the clearance section on AllAboardToys.com . Well, I could not resist browsing their after-Christmas selection and was thrilled to find some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party supplies on clearance. That just happens to be the theme for the twins' birthday dinner this week.I also stumbled across something that I had been eyeing for close to a year . . . the Melissa & Doug - Stamp & Sort Mailbox. I thought it would be a great way for our kindergartner to practice reading and writing, while incorporating it into pretend play. I'm so glad I put off the purchase because I found it on clearance for $17.99 on All Aboard Toys. On top of that, I was able to take advantage of a free shipping offer. To compare, Amazon.com, which usually has very competitive prices, is now selling it marked down for $25.40 .
I have to say that the kids love this mailbox! I think I'm going to think up a craft project to make additional pieces of mail. If I come up with anything, I'll certainly write it up for my Creating With Colors series.
