Barbara,

NTR would not have arduino parts.

Microcenter is best local bet.

Some Radio Shacks have stuff. (Some more than others).

I can drop off one of my '80's beepers and I am sure someone can show
you all the joys of repurposing a vibra motor out of an old pager. (or
you can grab one off a brsitle bot, we only have about 100).

Sounds like the family is having fun!
