Dollar Tree find for those long waits!

[macrosswife]

I was at Dollar Tree tonight and found some "generic brand" Brain Quests. (They look like a long deck of cards held together by a grommet in the bottom corner. Each card has 3-4 questions with pictures on one side and the answers on the back.)The ones at Dollar Tree are called "Smarty Pants" for the little ones (ages 4-6) and "Brain Blasters" for the bigger kids (ages 5-7 and 6-8). They're about 2" wide by 6" long, and only about a half inch thick, so they're perfect for tucking away in a bag or purse to help pass the time! They even have a scoring system for those of you who have competitive kids.
They were in the book section, just below all the coloring books.

HTH!!

I'll have to keep my eyes open for those. Thanks.

Just a packing tip - I put one of those Brain Quest packs in our carry on bag and it got us a special search at the airport. Apparently, it is too thick for the X-ray machine to see through and because of it's size, they wanted to look in my bag and see what it was. So now, if I take it, I pull it out of my bag and put it in the bin with my jacket so there are no surprises. It was an easily avoidable minor inconvenience at the airport. fyi
