**misst104** · 03-03-2009, 01:42 PM

Have been reading that a few people have got one of these so thought I'd let you know about a book I got given at a stay and play session which was all about builders trays -

50 EXCITING WAYS TO USE A BUILDERS TRAY by Helen Bromley

Lawrence Educational Publications

ISBN: 978-1-903670-15-2

Its full of fun ideas!!

I will be getting a tuff spot when I'm registered for sure. The stay and play session was FAB!!

I got that book at a stay and play a few months ago. There are some really good ideas in it, though some are a bit old for my mindees.
Definitely worth going to as many of the bookable stay and plays as you can as at the moment they will all have related freebies. Have you done the PRSN one, we got a balance weighing scale, weights, and a few other little things that were maths related. The kids love using the balance scale when we are baking.
Bradford Early years rocks!!

edit- if you want a tuff spot try your local builders yard..usually a lot cheaper than B & Q

My TuffSpot as £15.60 at Wickes.

I am going to invest in the book now I have the TuffSpot at last!!!

I know this is off the subject of a book, but had to share/

Yesterday was the first time I had ever heard about a Tuff Spot, on here on the Tuff Spot thread.

Well anyway I have been googling today to look into what they are and how to buy one.

My Dd came home from school and said she had dropped some of her lunch money (envelope split) and she said the teacher looked for the money in the Tuff Spot!

ha. Weird
