This was just what I needed to introduce centers at the beginning of the year!! AWESOME!
Although this will use a lot of colored ink--this is one of the best purchases I have made! Wonderful activities with adorable graphics. Thank you so much.

Thanks,
Holly F.

I purchased your beginning of the yaer chicka chicka boom boom set and the CCBB playdough set because I did not know the playdough cards were included.
You might want to edit description of play dough mats to let people know :)
Yes, I was just realizing that. I am more than happy to send you another unit for free of course. I am busy while I have the time off creating items, is there any theme in particular you are interested in?
