I finally got around to making a big phonics box for Short Pants over this last week. I ended up having extras, so someone should benefit - and that someone should be you! With my extras plus a few little purchases I've come up with a giveaway of 62 phonics miniatures, in part to thank you for reading my blog, and in part because now I know what a pain in the ass it is to find miniatures! The miniatures include everything from doll house miniatures to animals to buttons to tiny erasers. There are at least 2 miniatures for every letter of the alphabet, and in some cases there are 3. This giveaway should give you a nice start if you don't have a collection already, or will be a nice addition to minis that you already have.
If you'd like to be entered, just leave a comment. If you have a blog, post about this giveaway (let me know in your comment!) and I'll enter you twice. Comments will remain open till 8pm EDT Tuesday, November 10th. Short Pants will pull a name out of a hat, and I'll post the winner Wednesday morning, November 11th.
*this giveaway is not strictly for those who do Montessori - I think any kiddo would benefit and enjoy phonics miniatures!
Good luck!!
Wow, 62! How generous. I will let my readers know.

It is very hard to find miniatures! I have started working on mine slowly but surely.

That will sure come in handy, for I have 2 little nieces and a nephew coming soon.

I found your giveaway at "Walk Beside Me." I'll have to check out the entire blog!
I would live to win these. I have been very busy with 3 new additions to the family, and haven't had the time to add minis to our collection.

Hello just found your blog. At the right time it seems too!! I was just thinking today how to make phonics boxes but don't have any miniatures so would have to use full size things. Yikes! This would be fantastic. What a generous giveaway. I will post about it on my blog also.

62 - blimey! I think the Bean is a bit small for phonics at the moment and i'm a bit far away for posting but small things and giveaways are always fun! I hope you get lots of entrants! Good luck to everyone!
Posted by: Katie | November 03, 2009 at 02:47 PM
Wow! That is quite a collection. My daughter would love this. Thank you

Oh my, you sure would save me a lot of work. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

Wow, really?
This is amazing. I never win these things, but I guess it does not hurt to enter(smile)

oh yes finding miniatures is tricky...I think I only have about 5 letters done. I'll try to blog about it too.

Hi, I put a link up on my blog. I am a Montessori Directress for ages 3-6. I already have a well-equipped classroom and I don't need any more objects. Please feel free to choose someone else if my name gets chosen. Good Luck everyone!

Just found your blog via Chasing Cheerios. My kids and I just started our ABC box and are always on the look out for miniatures. Looking forward to exploring your posts. Thanks!

Thanks for offering this. You are so generous. This would be an unbelievable beginning to our Phonics miniature collection. Anyway, I have posted about this on my blog.
Posted by: Basia | November 03, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Wow that would be great!
Posted by: Kelly | November 03, 2009 at 11:04 PM
I've been spending the last several months rounding up phonetic miniatures for movable alphabet - especially needed are the longer phonetic words, it would be wonderful to add to our I Spy objects as well! I would love to win some, thanks for the opportunity!

Ooooh, yes please! I'm a bad blogger though, so I don't think anyone would notice if I blogged about it, as they have probably all given up on me!!
