We have a friend in South America, working with a preschool in a remote village. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be collecting supplies to send to her.
If you feel like helping us, here is a list of things we are looking for:
- Crayons: the kind you get at learning places where you can get a dozen or more of the same color, like 12 reds, 12 blues and so on. If not she’ll take regular crayons but specifically asked for this.
- Felt board cutouts for story time
- Markers – washable
- Legos
- Puzzles (ages 4-5)
- Pencils
- Construction Paper
- Glue
- Googly eyes
- Pipe Cleaners
- Glitter
- Blocks
- Story books (ages 4-5)
- Play doh
- Paints (washable)
- Paint brushes
- Coloring books
- Tape
- Games
- Laminated word cutouts. Not sure what this is but you preschool teachers probably will.
- Basically anything educational or crafty
For anyone that knows/lives by my mom, she’s on her way to my house on Wednesday, and I would be happy to make arrangements with her to collect stuff from you before hand. Feel free to leave questions for me in the comments.
Does this mean I will need to bring an extra suitcase full of supplies?
Oh, I know, I won’t pack clothes. I can bring two suitcases full of supplies, then you can take me shopping when I get there!! ((:
I really do need new summer clothes. I have NONE! I gave away all the ones that were too big.
