We are still looking for Loose Parts and MakerSpace Items for the Den Needed
As you know our school uses a wide variety of materials for projects, activities and learning tasks. We are looking to collect some of these items to replenish our stock. We need your help to collectively build our supplies and loose parts for our Maker Workshop, the Den and classrooms.
- Please see a suggested list below for items that will be useful for us to use at school.
- Students and families can use the designated bins in the Sky Space inside the school to drop off donations.
- These materials are often items that get thrown out or recycled and can become amazing learning tools.
- They will not be returned and need to be clean, non-toxic and free of sharp edges. Unfortunately, due to Health Guidelines we are NOT able to accept egg cartons, styrofoam meat trays, tin cans and toilet paper rolls.
Here are some of the things that we would love to collect for our replenishment supplies:
Yarn – any colour (acrylic or cotton)
Old Fidget spinners
Artificial Turf/Grass
Old Sequin Pillow cases
Wooden toys – used
Clear rubber hose
Sandpaper
Zippers
Buttons
Beads
Old Tech/Small Appliance to Take Apart
Embroidery Thread & Aida Cloth
Twist Ties
Lumber 1x4, 2x4, 2x2
Newspapers
Panty Hose
Aluminum Pie Plates (Washed)
Mortar & Pestle
Springs
Fake Fur
Stickers – Alphabet or Assorted
Paper Towel Rolls
Natural Items – Driftwood, Seeds, Coconut Shells
Wooden crafts objects – bead, cutouts, craft pieces - letters
