This is an activity I have set out for my early finishers. Using the Mailbox ELA and Math Brain Builders book, I put one question in each capsule. The capsules are small food containers (about baby food size) that I found at the Dollar Tree. I change out the capsules every month or so. I have included the signs that I put on each container that holds the capsules and recording sheets for both ELA and math.
The Mailbox Books you referred to are called Mailbox Mind Builders and they are on clearance right now (Aug. 2012) for $5.00 online at the Mailbox Magazine site.
Thanks for the great idea! I look forward to trying it in my class! :)
