I've been hearing radio commercials urgently shouting about "last minute gift ideas" since at least mid-November. Pfft. But now, finally, the last minute is truly upon us, so as a public service I offer Teacher Tom's last minute gift ideas for children, most of which won't even require a trip to a mall.
Mesh produce bags.
Things that rot.
A place to leave things to rot . . .
. . . and worms to live there.
Sticks.
An old typewriter.
Concrete.
Dominoes.
Tape.
Sand.
Blocks.
Hammers.
Drills.
Boxes and balls.
Nuts, bolts, wrenches and screwdrivers . . .
. . . rubber bands . . .
. . . and put them all together.
Glue guns.
Cars.
Dolls . . .
. . . who need bandages.
Pallets.
Rocks.
Water, gutters, tubes and shovels.
Paint.
Yarn.
Step ladders . . .
. . . and homemade ladders.
Tree parts.
Ropes.
Buckets.
Plants.
Junk . . .
. . . and jewels.
I put a lot of time and effort into this blog. If you'd like to support me please consider a small contribution to the cause. Thank you!
