Dollar Tree Bubblegum Math Center & FREEBIE


 Hi there and happy SUMMER! Ok please ignore the fact that I have not blogged in like forever 😀 because this post is timely and I am in summer bargaining and creating mode and just had to share! 




This cute math center was created for only $3 and put together in about 15 minutes! 


I found these cute plastic mini bubblegum machines at the Dollar Tree in the seasonal isle and then headed over the to craft section and got 2 packs of wooden beads to use as the “bubblegum”.


 I think plastic or glass marbles would work as well but they didn't have those at my dollar tree so I used the large and medium sized wooden beads from the pack.  The blue and green were too dark but I am not complaining - a $3 math center is NOT bad!  Bonus - I will keep all the small beads to use for other projects during the school year so they wont go to waste!


I used a sharpie to write numbers 1-10 on the beads and that was that!  The top of the meachine comes off easily so kids can clean up the bubble after they complete the worksheet.


Click on the worksheet to go to my TPT store and grab a copy of this freebie - then head to Dollar Tree and snag these goodies!!
