With doing Mother Goose Time for several months, we have lots of extra materials or manipulatives. I've had them packed away with all of the other materials. But, i realized they don't do much good in a box. The manipulative and counting pieces are good quality. We've gotten plastic bears, plastic people, plastic shapes, foam stars, foam hearts, oval links, hanging monkeys, lacing buttons and a few other things. Each month, we also get design mats to go along with the manipulatives. I laminated them and put them into plastic bags also, for now. Maybe large pencil boxes will work better when i get to the Dollar Tree. The boxes are easier to open and close for little hands. But, they are in their own basket to use as "busy bags" whenever the boys want... granted they put them away when they're done.
