We all have those notebooks or journals that we guard with our life....well I have one dedicated to all things Family Place. I decided to create a ginormous wish list, have it approved by my supervisor, then my library director, and then by our Community Director. Instead of having a file folder full of potential purchase orders, I decided to make is a little fancier and easier to visualize the bigger picture.
I began by shopping around (again, I love to shop, but especially for bargains) and I must have looked at 6 different websites and catalogs looking for the best price of that awesome wooden boat/stairs that we saw when we visited the Compton Library. One company had it for as much as $300.00! I found the best priced boat at Constructive Playthings ( $169.99). Woo hoo! I then printed out every single thing that I wanted to purchase (I made sure everything is in color, had some sort of mention of where this item was from and had a simple description). I then found a giant 3 ring binder, hole punched each piece of paper, and created my notebook of possibilities!
As I said in my last post, I divided up the notebook into different sections, which makes it a lot easier to navigate through when looking for a particular space or area. Here are some pictures:
Parent Child Workshop Section (Divided up by station. Each station section has its own wish list.)

(This section is divided into before and after pictures, furniture and wall decor, and manipulative's that will only be used in this area)
