Alphabet and Number wall decorations

Here's a great find for teachers and new parents on a budget.  Dollarama has some great teacher display items.  Here are two examples of the displays available.  A long strip to put up with the alphabet (with pictures that correspond to English words) and numbers from 1 - 20.  I've put up these strips in my classroom as well as my children's bedroom.  It's a simple, educational and really affordable way to decorate a kids' space.

Holiday decor

Being a teacher, I love going into dollarama before a special day like Christmas or Valentine's Day.  There are always lots of decorations that I can buy cheaply for my classroom or even my home.  This year I bought some window decorations and a big paper snowman to display.  I also liked the art supplies that I found with a holiday theme.  I could make tree ornaments with gingerbread shaped art foam and decorate it with glitter glue- all from dollarama!  I even found a full snowman suit for $2.00!
