    I order my nap cots from discountschoolsupply.com, sheets for them from sheetsunlimited.com. Craigslist can sometimes have good finds. As far as a craft table my dad cut down the legs of their old kitchen table to kid size. I do still need chairs for it though and they are about 20 a chair so that is on hold. Good luck!

      I also ordered my cots from doscountschoolsupply-they were the cheapest that I found. The rest of my stuff I found on CL and garage sales, thrift stores. Some of the stuff that I had to have, but couldn't find, is new (shelving mostly).

          Try abcdistributing.com, or oriental trading... sometimes they have book display shelves, child care wall display, etc. or I get some things from Amazon and walmart.com....for some reason, walmart online has better pricing on some things.

            Look on your local Facebook sale pages.

              I got my cots and sheets off of ebay - with free shipping - and it was so much cheaper than anywhere else I could find.

              Walmart online actually carries quite a nice selection of early childhood equipment.

              I also shop thrift stores. I've gotten several of my kid chairs for a dollar or two a piece there. It's an eclectic mix, but that's ok - then I have chairs for every size of child.

              You could make a request on your face book page. I've had several families donate stuff their kids outgrew just because they knew I was willing to take it.

              I got tables at amazon. It's actually an adjustable height table http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-80160...e+height+table

              I got it at a ridiculous price. It was onsale for around $20 - I see it's much more now. The smallest height it perfect for my littles and their chairs.
