Preschool sale - what would you buy?

[Jen4Kids]

In my area there have always been 2 preschools, with my childrens one being the more popular :blush: I did send my dd there when she was 2 and pulled her out after two weeks and waited another year for her to start at the better one :blush:

Anyway, the other preschool shut suddenly at christmas with no notice to parents, today i saw at toddlers (they share the same village hall) and they are selling of all equipment from puzzles to a climbing frame, on saturday morning :eek: :clapping: The notice says things are price between 50p and £150.00 :eek:

So what would you buy??

I havent got any starters yet but will be tempted with puzzles and hopefully a book shelf

[PixiePetal]

Duplo, books, brio type trains, outdoor toys, puzzles, anything multicultural/diverse (can be expensive to buy new), dressing up ?

Does that help? depends on age of mindees you may get :)

Mobilo!!!!!! Sorry i'm on a hunt for it as ds wants it for his birthday. I got out bidded by £1 on ebay at the weekend. I've found it on a few websites aswell but they add £6 postage.

Umm would also look for other bits that normally cost a lot aswell.Oh and Ofsted pleasing stuff!

Have fun Lou

Oooh, my list would be endless!- and I've been minding for 7 years and my hubby would go mad!

Anyway, personally I would look for plastic animals - they are really expensive, so a bargain on these would be good. I have been watching these on ebay.

Yes, any sort of storage would be good. - even a folding one.

Display boards?

Multicultural resources - books, dolls etc.

Actually, any dolls, as I have 3 girls at the moment and they love playing with the dolls and accessories.

Oh, I wish I was coming! - where are you?!! he he!

Have fun and let us know what bargains you get. (although I would feel a bit guilty as somewhere has closed, but not too guilty!)

I live in Norwich, i think 'Hello Kitty' is the only one near to me :thumbsup:

Ive hear my childrens preschool teachers are going to be there to try and grab some bargains, but im think more on a smaller scale!

My hubby has announced he is working on saturday so i have to now take all 4 to gymnastics for 9am and then to this sale at 11am - sounds like fun :laughing:

[katickles]

Oh how good could that be!!

I would look for learning board, like the pegs that they put into boards, educational toys.

Mine also love animals & things, maybe they'll have outdoor equipment like the sand/water tables which could be great as they are expencive.

Oh what else, i would just go bonkers & get alsorts of things that I have no room for :laughing:

So what are they doing with the money raised? If its a charity I think it has to be donated to another charity once any bills are settled. A pre school near us shut and had a sale of items (i was away at the time!) and the money got donated to our pre school which was nice!!:)

One of our Nurseries closed down last month, wish they had had a sale. Maybe they did and I just missed it :eek:

Hope you get some bargains :thumbsup:
