Explorers Back To School Basket

Table of Contents

This Giveaway Is Now Closed. After the winner has been drawn, I will post the name at the bottom of this post.

I love to splurge on you and make your back to school special this year. So with lots of planning and with appreciation for my sponsors too, I am proud to be joining with Bright Ideas Press and Rainbow Resource to again be hosting a giveaway for a back to school basket.

This year my theme is an Explorers Basket. I think the theme fits both with what I luv and how I feel right now since we are heading off on a new exploring journey of our own.

Look at this GIGANTO list of goodies in my basket for the love of exploring.

The Global Puzzle. A challenging 600-piece puzzle of the world that has individual pieces shaped like the world’s countries. An explorer needs to know his way so I added a puzzle that is not easy to solve. Keep it long term to add to part of your geography curriculum. $14.44
