    Cute ideas! I have a lot of extra clothes pins that I just found in a closet yesterday so I’m going t!o have to check some these out. Clothes pins are great for strengthening little hands for writing prep too!

      You’re right, Julie! Clothespins would be a great tool to get little hands ready for writing. I’d have never thought of that! Boy, how I wish I just came upon clothespins in the closet. Ours are constantly being resupplied. I feel like they just vanish in thin air most of the time 😉
