The To Market, To Market Dramatic Play Kit
This kit allows you to create a visually rich and stimulating classroom that supports and encourages creative thinking and interactive learning. The kit includes a colorful grocery stand and 27 pieces of printed food.
In this collaborative play setting, children can practice writing and following grocery lists, picking out food, and counting money, while learning social skills like sharing, cooperation, waiting their turns and teamwork. The 5’10” x 47” x 24” grocery stand is made of corrugated plastic, so it is easy to wipe down and reuse over and over again. It also sets up quickly and lies flat for easy storage.
Start creating an inviting classroom that is conducive to student learning with this interactive dramatic play kit.
ZinkoTek is a large-scale educational construction toy made of brightly-colored, soft, yet sturdy, EVA foam pieces that link together to create a variety of structures such as animals, robots, giant bugs, jet planes, helicopters, and even play houses large enough for a child to play in.
The building system is durable enough to be used both indoors and outdoors and is easily cleaned with bleach and water. With 276 pieces, the construction set allows children to share in the building process and experience collaborative play. Because every piece in the set is designed to fit with the other pieces, children use their imaginations to create without boundaries.
Special back-to-school pricing is $250 shipped (anywhere in the continental U.S.), a $100 savings.

You can count on strength and durability when you order MONSAM's portable sinks.
Reliability starts with the solid aluminum bars that form the frame and continues with the solid plastic panels that form the walls and base. We never use laminated material which can separate.
This three level sink allows several people to wash their hands at the same time. Designed for child care programs, it is useful for both children and adult staff members. The staggered height insures that everyone can find a sink that is easy to use. Excellent value compared to purchasing three individual sinks. Model PSE-0123 is colorful in design, simple to clean and easy to move from one location to another.
Simply fill the fresh water tank and slide it into the cabinet. Plug the power cord into any standard outlet and the electric water pump and heater provide hot and cold running water for everyone. The single pump and heater support all 3 hand wash stations. This truly is a remarkable idea.
