What brand of lacing buttons did you use? I’m having trouble searching Amazon for a set that has rectangles. Maybe I’m just missing them.
We’re doing preschool discovery labs as part of the summer reading program at the library where I’m the children’s librarian. I think this set will be perfect for the dinosaur lab.
Thanks for creating a fun, engaging set!
A dinosaur lab sounds amazing! How fun.
I think I found my buttons at Walmart, but there are also several sets on Amazon with rectangle buttons. Here’s a link to the search I did, and you’ll see rectangles in several of the sets. I hope that helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you. https://amzn.to/2DYOZqS

So what exactly comes with the bundle package? Does everything have to be printed or would I receive a package in the mail? Are all the buttons and clothespins and playdough and dinosaurs and everything you see in the pictures included in the package?
All of our products are digital download for you to have instant access to download and print. The manipulatives would need to be purchased separately.
