And these little $0.99 sticker packs have been good for everything from spending allowance money to flat out bribes. They ADORE them! Since they actually stick in a book, there is also the added bonus of not have a gazillion piles of baseball cards floating around every orifice of the house.
Excuse the lazy iPhone picture, but the insides of the books look like this. The bonus? The baby can now look at a number such as 113 and knows it’s “one hundred thirteen”. I dare you to say this isn’t educational. Not to mention they both can look at any card (out of 315) for a half a second and know whether or not they already have it. I suppose males are just born with some weird ability to memorize insignificant and minute sports stats (yet are unable to remember to change the light bulb burnt out in the kitchen for twelve days.)
We’ve been giving these as gifts to our little friends over the last couple of months, so we have a little network of people to trade our duplicates with. That’s a big part of the fun!
They’ve poured through these things so many times over the last two months that they have both been taped back together multiple times. I’ve seen the books and sticker packs at Target, WalMart and Learning Express. Most recently, the books I saw at Target had a coupon adhered for $1 off – so that makes the book $1 too!
I couldn’t not share this cheap, summertime “entertainment”. Go forth and collect baseball stickers, y’all. (That’s one thing I never thought I’d say a mere eight years ago.)
