Buttons

So I read about a quiet box which is a box that holds an activity that is quiet.  Suppose to amuse little children.  This particular one holds pipe cleaners and buttons.  The pipe cleaners are bent to make trees and then littles are suppose to thread the buttons on making flowers, leaves, whatever their imagination deems.  Supposedly I could get everything I needed from the dollar store.  Ha.  Got the box and the pipe cleaners, but they don't carry buttons at our local dollar store.
So I posted an ad on facebook searching for.  Just need some old buttons, nothing fancy or expensive.  Well someone suggested goodwill.  Turns out Suzie is on the same site as me and said she was going and would look.  Neither one of us made it to a yard sale posted out in Amboy that had jars of buttons for a $1.  Perfect price for this project.  We both were disappointed.
Anyway Suzi found some buttons at goodwill and she delivered them yesterday when she came to pick up Dave's Memory Book.  She gave me a hug and off she went.  I put the buttons by the box and went about other things.
Later I'm talking with the neighbors and Audrie asks them if she can play with the buttons and they tell her yes.  I'm like "buttons"?  Yup.  My little man had found them and thought they would be great to play with (isn't he right?).  So I confiscated them.  Guess I better get my quiet box put together and it looks like at least one neighbor kid would like to play with it also.
My hope is that if it is a hit I will make one for Jazzlynn also.
