Melissa in St Louis Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have seen on other boards about doing a preschool activities in a bag swap....any takers? I am assuming we would all make up a bunch of the same activity, then mail to someone (I could even do it) who would sort and remail out so each participant gets 1 of each activity. Make sense? Wanna try it?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineFarmMom Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm game. I have done some of this already, the preschool bags. We do have fun with them...I just forget sometimes we have them. If I had an even larger grouping of them, that would be helpful, switch things up a bit. Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzanne in ABQ Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Count me in. There is a book about doing this, with gobs of ideas for bags, and for organizing the "club". I can't remember what it's called, but I saw it at a homeschool convention a couple years ago. I'll see if I can find it. Actually, I think it was originally DollyM's idea (she used to frequent this board, but I only see her occasionally nowadays). She has a list of ideas on Paula's Archives. Let me know what I can do.

Delighted3 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The name of the book is Preschool activities in a Bag. I have used the first book. I notice they have a second book out now. Here is a link: http://www.activitybags.com/ActivityBags/index.html HTH, Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delighted3 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Oh, and the book does have instructions for doing it as a group. It also has pages you can copy with supplies and instructions to make each bag. It also includes activity instructions you can cut out and tape to the bag. The book helps a lot with organization when doing it as a group. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I might be interested (teaching preschool next year) but I'd need a cost estimate, first. Email me if you get one! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in St Louis Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I don't have the book...do we want to use the ones in the book or ones from a website or come up with our own ideas? Doesn't matter to me, I'm just excited others want to participate! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommyto6 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have the book, but not the time to organize something like this right now. I'd love to participate though. If someone else wanted to organize it I'd be glad to get the book into their hands.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissel Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Does anyone know if this ever happened? At the time, I was too overwhelmed to consider it, but would love to participate now. Or maybe we could do a second one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm in if it's not too late! Please send me a PM if I can help with anything. -Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I am sure the group is growing by leaps and bounds, but I would be interested in participating. My dd is 5 and starting K, but she would still enjoy working with things like this. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abreakfromlife Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 so has this gotten set up by anyone? I'm another one who would love to join :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kls126s Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've been trying to figure out how to do this, but don't know enough local ps moms to make it worth it. Would we have to mail our completed bags to everyone? That's a cost consideration... Hmmm.... If this is still in the planning stages (meaning someone new can still join), let me know.
