Hi, My Name Is _____ And I Have An Addiction..

[spud912]

Hi everyone, my name is spud and I have an addiction to....

Arts and Crafts supplies!!

My addictions rotate from toys (especially wooden ones) to manipulatives to theme-related materials. But....now, every time I wander into a craft store I spend around $20+ on craft supplies I've convinced myself is necessary. I mean, come on really, did I really have to go to the craft store yesterday and get a bunch of googly eyes with eyelashes, foam stickers and wooden treasure boxes? Don't even get me started on painting supplies! I'm not even artistically inclined! I feel like Martha Stewart has taken over my brain!

Anyone else want to fess up to their addictions?

Hi I am Miss B, and I am addicted to our monthly themes.

I have purchased more garden/dinosaur/farm things in the past 3 months, that I thought possible. Today at circle time we sat there wearing our dinosaur hat/masks each with our own toy dinosaur while we read dino book and then looked through the dino sensory bin.

Currently, I'm PIN-dicted. Anyone who follows me is well aware.

All from the dollar store. Also, when we are about to start a unit, I send something out for all parents lend us anything they think might be useful for the unit. So that supplements my purchases. The biggies expenditure I have for each unit is the books from scholastic.

Hi, my name is Patches, and I have a Craigslist addiction (99% daycare related) I'm pretty good at convincing myself that even though I don't NEED it now, it's too good a deal to pass up.

My name is Miss t and I have an addiction to Chihuahuas and Hedgehogs
Currently I have 3 Chihuahuas and 2 Hedgehogs
I was so obsessed with the Chihuahuas when I first got one 10+ years ago that I started an online store for all things Chihuahua, then started publishing a nationwide magazine on them which I stopped publishing 2 years ago to open my daycare.
The hedgehogs are a new obsession and I'm still in the learning stages but plan to breed them and hopefully one day will close the daycare in order to breed for a business.

Oh, was this a daycare question?> I'm obsessed with outdoor toys. Our front yard went from having a small area for a swing set and sandbox to a complete playground in just over a year, with 2 plastic playscapes, swingset, gigantic tractor tire and more.

there is a new store in michigan called Ollies. Omg, I spent 100 dollars on books this weekend. Books are marked down so cheap (they are all brand new) that they are even cheaper than scholastic.
