What Do You Need, or Want For DC?

[Josiegirl]

What's on your list of stuff you'd like or need right now? Even if it's consumables you run out of all the time? Or an indulgence you'll probably never but sure would be nice to have for dc?

I seem to always need new markers. Mine are constantly dry.
And glue sticks, they don't seem to last long either.
Also need cots, which hopefully I will be ordering in the near future.
A mirror. Kids love mirrors and all I have is a small one on the end of my toddler dress up thingie.
I'd love some way to decorate the playroom with more artwork and posters. The room is lined from corner to corner with windows and the others walls are filled with shelving. So pretty much no wall space.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a door that goes directly into my backyard. We have to go out our front door and around the side of my house. Doing that with 2 dogs, 3 toddlers and 2 preschoolers is not much fun.
A camera, nothing fancy just a point and shoot. Mine busted and my dd lent me hers but it is terrible. I've missed all the crafts we used to do using pictures.

So what's on your wish list?

I would love, love a bathroom in my laundry room! I have my dc in my converted garage, and now the kiddos have to walk through my kitchen, dining and living rooms to get to the guest bath.

It's only breaking up a couple of feet of concrete and running about 10 foot of pipe, haven't talked my dh into doing it yet. But I am working on him and I generally get him to my way of thinking eventually.

We do lots of art projects, I am in constant need of art supplies! Glue sticks, crayons (the kids break them and then don't want to use the broken ones), washable paint and card stock are my most used items. Then stickers and doo-dads for collages.

My playroom is also lined with doors and walls, not much decorating space for posters and alphabet letters and such

And I would absolutely LOVE to install a fall zone so the kids could use our playscape. Big expense, maybe someday! For now they're fine with small slides and climb-ons

I want an old wood rowboat to put in the yard for a sand box or playing pirate. Or I want a wood platform that could be a stage sailboat etc I also want a great water wall.

I am retiring in June so I am not going to buy anything but I am planning to use up things like consumables as the months progress. IF I was going to stay in business, I'd like a new double stroller. As it is my old one will be just fine.

I want a new preschool locker shelf thingy. I am probably building one in the next few weeks.

Art supplies-

I'd LOVE a double sided easel (or 3 of them!)


different color markers (I typically buy the 8 color set because they don't last long)


paint-any and all kinds

paper- lots and lots of WHITE. It's all they use.


I NEED new nap mats, buying those this month.

more magnatiles, they love them but I only have 30ish pieces

We also have a room lined wall to wall with windows, and the other wall is brick - it makes hanging art tricky. Have you tried using the ceiling to hang things ? I also use the windows. This unit we have snowflakes and snowballs to hang on the windows, so it looks like it is snowing outside.

SAVE THOSE DRIED OUT MARKERS AND USE THEM FOR THIS:

I would really like a shatter proof mirror, for both the nursery and the big kids room. But they are so pricey !

I also would really like a circle time mat, with the actual spots for sitting on it. RIght now we have a circle time rug, but everyone just sits on the rug - I would love to be able to say "go sit on your spot".

I bought some individual mats that we take out at circle time. They are about 18"x24" carpet pieces, perfect size for little tushies! I arrange them on the floor and the kids go to their spots, it's great! After circle time they stack them up (scored them for $1.99 each!)

Mirror for the play area.
Wall easels.
Dress up clothes

[Maria2013]

1) ink, I can never have enough
2)A curriculum (that I actually like) that has ALL the worksheets, and art supply included
3) A grownup to talk to
4) nice play food and accessories for the new kitchen

[Maria2013]

Wall easels.

why not using the special "easel" paint and make your own? I did, and I love it!

When I'm dreaming big, I fantasize about having a separate entrance to the day care. Otherwise, I'd love to have rubber mulch in the play yard outside that doesn't have to be replaced every year or a play house for the kids to play in.

More space ... a bigger house and yard. Then I'd have dedicated DC space inside. Outside I want a Jack & Jill slide which is just a hill covered in fake grass (astro turf I think it's called?) and a bunch of cardboard so we (myself included) can run up and slide down all day. It's been my dream ::.

[Jack Sprat]

Glue sticks
Paper all kinds we always are running out
Marker
Crayons

A home with a bright naturally lit walk out basement with bathroom.

More hats.
Comfy seating of some sort for reading area.
Few more sets of stacking/nesting cups
A few construction type vehicles

Some sort of germ grenade that I can toss into the daycare at the end of the day, and magically have the entire room degermed for the start of next day.
