Preschool sale - what would you buy?

**Jen4Kids** · 25-03-2009, 01:24 PM

In my area there have always been 2 preschools, with my childrens one being the more popular

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

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

The notice says things are price between 50p and £150.00

So what would you buy??

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

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

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

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

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

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!!
