woolybear Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ds wants a slate like they used in Little House on the Prairie. I found one at the museum in Walnut Grove that I may get, but I am wondering if anyone has any other suggestions. He also really likes the lunch pail.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Handwriting Without Tears slates work really well. They are fairly small though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hobby Lobby used to carry some. I don't know if they still do, but someplace like that or Michaels might. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I see them at all the historical sites around here, whether they deal with that time period or not. My dc bought theirs at the Michigan Historical Museum, in fact. :001_smile: I would call any local history museum/site and see if they have them. It might be cheaper to buy them there.

KarenB Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I purchased one from http://www.raggedsoldier.com/schoolsupplies.html They make reproduction Civil War era toys/books. I purchased the larger one to use with my son at reenactments. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
