buttons - a multi-purpose classroom essential

We have been revisiting Pete the Cat since we came back from Christmas break.

He has such a good attitude; the beginning of a new year seemed a good time to spend some time with Pete and his wise words.



Did he cry?  Goodness no!

Stuff may come and stuff may go.

It's all good.

Pete had a wee bit of surgery, and got himself a brand new belly button. Thanks to Maureen at StrongStart for the belly button inspiration.





That sparked a renewed interest in our button basket.




I have been finding buttons everywhere.  Used for just about everything.



button stew

cupcakes with button sprinkles

cream and buttons with your tea?

button money (in a wallet)

button money - legal tender in a hot chocolate cookie shop

buttons in a box


And to think that I put the buttons in the basket for counting and sorting!


Thanks Pete, you've inspired us to use our imagination muscle.

  1. Annie and I love Pete's new belly button. You've inspired us to take care of our own Pete so that he is never without a button. Thanks!
