    Liliya, it's not unprofessional to ask a parent to participate or donate materials to their child's program. Most parents will happily provide things. I have parents who ask me on a regular basis what they can contribute. I buy TONS of stuff every month for the program....they are all well aware of the expenses involved in maintaining a program that offers ample materials/supplies/toys for their children to use, and want to help out....they realize that it is only $5 for them to buy one bag of sand, and it would cost you $50 to fill it by yourself - which may hinder you from being able to provide their child with the sensory experience of sand play.

    If it's a needed item and you cannot fill the whole box on your own, I say ask.....you'll probably be pleasantly surprised with the response from your parents.

      As I said before, I agree with Crystal on this one.
