Welcome to "Favorite Resource This Week", a weekly link-up hosted here on our blog. All of us have so many wonderful resources that we come across and use every week, and it's great to link up and share our favorites! **Resources of any type are fair game...books, videos/DVDs, websites, favorite television programs, computer games, field trip ideas, ideas for using old materials in a different way...anything that has worked well for your family.** Feel free to use a post you've already written that's applicable and link it up! If you don't have a post, it's fine to just leave a comment...and remember to check back and see what others are sharing!
I post "Favorite Resources" on Fridays, but the link-up remains open through the following Thursday, so you can link any time. You can link your post below. Please include our blog button (HTML code is on our sidebar), or a text link back here, in your post. Thanks so much for linking up and sharing...I am looking forward to reading everyone's posts!!

I have a fairly simple resource to showcase this week. The other day, when we were out shopping at our favorite craft store, we found these plastic templates. They didn't cost much at all, so we popped them into our cart and figured they'd be useful at home.

I almost didn't buy them because, honestly, we didn't really need them. I try to be very conscious of how we're spending our money. I suppose we could make similar templates ourselves from cardboard, but it is very nice to have them pre-made and ready to use.
Anyway, the girls opened the package up once we got home and thought they were very cool! We looked at all of the possibilities for what could be done with them...using the shapes together to make various figures, making valentines, adding thought bubbles or dialogue bubbles to pictures, and many other ideas.
Jenna started creating a coloring book the next day, that she might use as a gift for someone...
What kinds of resources inspire creativity in your kids? Have you had the experience of an unexpected find being used in oodles of imaginative ways?
