Happy Sunday!
I took the plunge and bought…
a bubblegum machine for my erasers!
I saw the idea on Pinterest
(click here to follow me!!)
I found the pin! I love it!
I found the gumball machine on Amazon….below!
Some other finds…novelty pens at Target for a dollar that I think I can use as pointers =)
The other find was the flowers marked down to $2 each at a local pharmacy…just a bright little classroom display!
In other news, I have a new pack that I think is awesome…it is a combination of samplings of everything I use in my 5 literacy stations.
I included pictures and descriptions of all my stations. I also included a title poster, a ‘Have to Can do’ example Poster’ and then activity or response pages for EACH station. Later this week I will do a collage picture to show all the individual pages, but the pack is over 80 pages. Click here and then choose download preview to get this little freebie page:
You can find the new pack on TPT and Teachers Notebook.
Love the Starter Pack idea. Awesome! And, that bubbly gum machine is to die for.

Love this! Do you put a coin in to get the erasers? Also, are there certain sizes of erasers to buy so they don't get stuck?

Jennifer,
I love the bubble gum machine. What a great idea to use it for erasers. I'm going to have to get one.

You can set it to be free or coin operated…and you can use just the regular erasers…the Dollar Tree has packs of 40 for $1 =) I haven't had them get stuck…you might have to adjust the opening inside so that it doesn't give more than one, though. =)
One of my parents from last year gave me a bubble gum machine, and we love it!! Can't wait for your kiddos to see yours!!

Oh my! I have a gumball machine and I never knew you could do erasers! I knew Skittles, M&M's, etc. but you have just made by day!! Love your new packs, too.

I love the bubblegum machine idea! I have a medium size bubblegum machine and wasn't sure what to fill it with. I'm definitely trying this out next time I go to my classroom!

I love your gumball machine! I got a big one last year at a yard sale. It's the kind that has the spiral ramp that the gumballs roll down before they come out. I tried the erasers and sadly they got stuck in the top and then wouldn't roll=( I need a little one!
cute! I hadn't seen that!

Hello! I recently found your post on Pintrest and then got a gumball machine. Mine is sticking horribly. The erasers never seem to come out right on the first try. How do you keep yours running smoothly?
