Kids' Shopping List

So this kind of saved my sanity today. It was kind of time consuming but it was worth it. And I made these while I waited for the baby to wake up from his nap so I didn't delay my shopping trip at all.

Just open a Word document, make a 3x4 table (or whatever size you want) and google all the things on your list. Then copy and paste them to the table. I pasted some to Paint first and edited them a little or cropped them to fit better. 

I gave one to my 5 year old and one to my 3 year old. I put different things on each list because I know my 5 year old would find them all before the 3 year old and then we'd have a meltdown, ya know?
