Oct. 19, 2007 - Preschool Activity Bag Exchange
Someone in my homeschool group recently hosted a Preschool Activity Bag Exchange and it was such a blessing. Everyone had to pick two activity bags to make up and then make enough of each for everyone that was participating. Then we got together and each person presented their bags and how to use them and handed them out. A lot of the ideas for the bags came from the book Preschool Activities in a Bag and from miscellaneous websites. I was in awe at how creative everyone was and we had such great variety. So far, my children are loving them and we are trying to just use them during school to help occupy and teach my preschoolers while I work with my 1st grader. Well, I think they are great. The person who hosted also had an idea to do an exchange where you make a letter of the week curriculum and each person participating would take 2 letters of the alphabet and have everything for those weeks ready to go in a bag. So, I would highly reccomend anyone to organize this type of exchange. Believe me it is a lot of work to make up 2 different activity bags for 16 people, but definately well worth the effort!
