Works-for -Me Wednesday (chalk it up)
It's time once again to post another WFMW tip. Before I share my tip, I wanted to share some info about book giveaways that are happening out there! Although I've already selected a winner for the launch of my Pay It Forward book exchange, there are other books still being given away. Check it out!Now, for my WFMW tip...
Chalk It Up
We spent quite a pretty penny for a train set for Snuggle Bug last Christmas and he loves it! We don't regret our purchase, but since there are 112 pieces we try to encourage Snuggle Bug to play with the train set mainly in his bedroom.
Snuggle Bug has other wooden trains that we allow him to play with outside and, rather than buy the expensive connecting tracks that can get lost or broken, we use sidewalk chalk to draw train tracks on the driveway. We draw a different train track each time and he loves it!
So, creating chalk train tracks works for me, maybe it'll work for you. To see what works for others, be sure to check out the other links at Shannon's, the creator of Works-For-Me Wednesday!

That's a great idea. Since I am not at all artistically inclined my sidewalk chalk masterpieces are pretty limited, but even I could draw railroad tracks!! Thanks.
I love this idea for sidewalk chalk. And Princess is old enough that we'd probably spend a lot of time just drawing the tracks or the road for her to drive her bus around.
GREAT idea!

What a great idea!!
Also wanted to let you know, I finally have a sidebar link up to your pay-it-forward book exchange.
Fantastic idea!
My kids are really into trains and chalk right now, but I never put the two together. They will love this. Thanks.
I love this idea!
I had a great time participating in Favorite Ingredients Friday. That was fun!
God bless you in the adoption process. I was adopted into my family as an infant, and my parents adopted three children total before being blessed with one birth child.
