Materials
A few key items to always have on hand include: a personal laminating machine, white board and dry erase markers, and page protectors. We use these over and over again for preparation and play.
Most of the activities that I will feature can be completed with basic arts and crafts supplies: glue, scissors, watercolor and tempera paints, crayons, etc.
For every activity listed below, I will include a materials list specific to that activity and resource links to print any materials needed.
