Resources/wish lists/recommendations...

[jw19nr]

Hello. I am writing a wish list for all the bits I want to buy/aquire for my childminding and just wondering what your most useful resourses/tos etc are. Maybe particuar toys that are good for a wide range of ages? Stuff that makes your life easier?

Anything really, just looking for ideas as to what I might like to keep an eye out for. :)

One of the most useful things I have found are cat litter trays. (Thanks to Sarah). You can put loads of things in them to play with. I have 1 for sand, water, standing pots in when planting seeds, messy play. I could go on but they are so cheap and useful - you can get them for about £1.
Wooden train track.
Lego or Megablocks
I buy cheap art and craft stuff when I see it.
Cheap paper.
Magnifying glasses have been really useful this week - I need more of them as they all want a go checking off the minibeast spotter.
Foam balls - so the older ones can play without harming the lo's with a footy in the face.
Laminator
Dinosaurs and animals - all ages
Portable stair gate - particularly useful to block of a room like when I smashed a glass lid last week.
Mega supply of tissues and wipes.
Camera
Sarahnevs E books
Bottle of red wine:thumbsup:

I am sure there are loads of other ideas.
