Grab Bag

Zoodle and I went to Michael’s the other day, looking to pick up a few things for a project.  We got those things, but we spotted something as we got close to the checkout counter: a grab bag.

Now I’ll be the first to admit that I’m pretty easily distracted by bright shiny objects.  I like adventure, and surprises.  If you tell me “here’s this thing, we have no idea what’s inside it,” chances are I’m going to be all over it.

Plus, the grab bag was only four dollars!  For four dollars we got a big mystery bag, full of plenty of excitement for one rainy night.

I was curious to find out if our grab bag would be worth the four dollars we’d paid for it.  I don’t mind telling you, it was worth every penny.  Watch the video below to see just what we got in our grab bag:

You can see that we found plenty of fun goodies in our grab bag.  And since the original price tags were left on our items, it wasn’t hard to see we more than got our money’s worth.

We have the space to store all of our extra craft projects for a rainy day.  If you don’t, you might want to pass on the grab bag.  If you’re looking for a little bit of inspiration, or you’re looking for some fun stuff to have on hand for times when you just can’t get outdoors, the grab bags are a fantastic bargain.  I will caution that they’re not appropriate for very small children, but older kids can use them at will.
