Clay and Sculpting

Buy some clay sculpting and modeling sets for your daycare or childcare center. Kids love to mold and make things. What better safe activity than letting them create endless different shapes and sculptures out of clay. They can create their own pots, cups and plates, or figurines and animals. Most childrens clay is fast drying and the clay comes in different colors. Don't forget your clay tools like rolling pins to help work with the clay.

First Aid

Children are known for getting every kind of bump, cut, and bruise you can imagine.  Be sure to have all your First Aid supplies handy for these everyday occurrences. Be sure to stock extra instant cold packs this season. These cold packs are instant, disposable single-use packs for when you need cold instantly. These are perfect for the daycare and child care industry because bumps and sprains happen so often.

Playground Toys

Since spring is right around the corner, it is a perfect time to purchase new playground toys for your daycare or child care center. A great way to get children moving around and exercising is to create fun games using everyday toys. Check out these great Hula-Hoops. They are perfect for hula-hoop competitions and can be used to create fun team building games.

Cooking Toys

Children love to play house and to play with cooking sets. Make sure your daycare center or childcare center provides cooking sets for the kids to do home making and kitchen activities. The next great chef in America may come out of your childcare center.
