Playground Equipment - like classroom materials - do not have to cost a lot of money to be enjoyable and educational for children. If you have been following my blog you know I am a garage sale junkie - so it goes without saying that I have also found things to play with for our playground. A few weeks ago I went to a guys home who was a wholesale sales man for sporting goods - I got a bunch of balls and a pair of soccer nets for $25 bucks - all new. Then this past weekend I got 4 tires for FREE, from a guy who was initially selling them for $15 - but when I asked if he would donate them for kids to play on, he said YES and even loaded them into the car for me to take! So on our way home my Husband and I dropped them off for the children to find on Monday morning.
They really seem to enjoy them!
As always, I love stopping by to read your new posts! I'm going to make this a fun find this weekend and look for some tires too. Did you ever think about spray painting them? I know my kiddies would love these too! Thanks once again for the great finds.
ReplyDeleteOH I never even thought of painting them - hum I wonder what paint would work best? Thanks for the idea! :)
