Supplies and Printables Checklist

Some of my friends are tackling Parker Prep for their kids this year.  I'm so flattered!  Anyone can do it.  It just takes a bit of preparation, organization, patience, and structure. I HIGHLY recommend trying to do "Preschool" at the same time on the same three days so your child is mentally prepared each day to do their best in their first school experience!  Structure is a good thing =)

Here are a list of the supplies I used and links to where I got them.  A lot of this stuff I just happened to have, or my mom and mother-in-law had, so if you have similar supplies, just use those!  When buying supplies from Hobby Lobby, make sure to use their 40% off coupons (found at
hobbylobby.com each week)!  I would usually go with my husband and we would each do a transaction so we could get the two most expensive items at 40% off.  Happy Preschooling!
