    Default Too many toys!!

    I have been lucky this week in that I knew a local nursery was closing down and I made an offer on a load of stuff for a good price, now I have sorted through it all there are lots of things I wont use...some of them I have listed on e bay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MESELX:IT)
    these include mega blocks, loop bead toys and a kitchen

    other things I have going spare are some beladuc boards...not sure how to describe them other than they have a handle for the child to push a block round a pre drilled track in the board I have attached some pics...looking for £8 each or £15 the pair they are quite large 60cm x 50cm and can attach to the wall




    I also have some huge tubs of powder paint 9kg size these are unopened apart from one I opened to see what colour it was. The colours are black green orange or blue £5 a tub


    I am in Co Durham if anyone wants to collect

    I also have some soft play arches (2 ) and 2 rectangular blocks...these are not in bad condition but one has a small rip in it....will post a pic later as its raining and they are in the shed!! I also have some large wipe clean play mats that velcro together...there are 4 rectangular ones that form a square with a space in the middle I have a small red mat that will go in the space...would like £20 for these

    there is also a jigsaw holder...it has a hanging rail for bags of jigsaws to go on...would like £10 for this

    Don't want to be rude, but isn't it against the law to sell the EYFS pack?

    I think it's more for the fact that the eyfs pack was a free goverment document that can currently only now be down loaded while the eyfs review is going on.

    Not everything I am selling is from the nursery...I have been selling stuff on e bay for years now and have sold a lot of toys belonging to my kids and grandkids....the kitchen was bought when I started childminding and I bought a large set of kitchen play units from the nursery when the owner advertised them on e bay (thats how I found out he was closing) hence the sale of the small one
