Where do you get your supplies?

[Momof4]

Well congratulations on joining the world of home daycares!

I buy so many craft supplies, dollar stores are deifinitely a must. I go in there with an empty shopping cart and fill it up at least once a month with a list of my themes for the month and all the crafting parts I should need and I still have to go back almost weekly. It's unbelievable that you can spend $50 easily at the dollar store! But I have to tell myself it's a tax deduction to calm my breathing, ha!

I buy a lot of things at Michael's too, their little kits are so cute, especially for the holidays and sometimes it saves me from having to google or invent crafts on my own. Have you been to Scholar's Choice? They are pricier but have fantastic things and I buy my washable markers there (they are a necessity for babies learning to colour) and there are times when I want the better quality that you don't get with the dollar stores.

I go to Florida once a year and to B.C. once a year and I always stock up on things I find at the dollar stores in both of those places because when you travel you find different cute things, especially decorations for the holidays.

I have found that over the years I have had to slow myself down from buying cute things that I spot because I now have such an overflow of crafting supplies I don't know if we can ever use them all up!
