I am an educational consultant with Discovery Toys and we have GREAT products for children from birth thru middle school.

Have you ever gone to the local store and purchased a decent toy, only to get it home have the kids in care love it and all of a sudden...its broken!!! Well...fear not...Discovery Toys has a LIFETIME replacement guarantee on all their products (accept the software...this is the standard 30 day replacement due to the fact that people can download it to their computers...then get their money back, but not have removed it from their computer...sorry, but not everybody is as honest as us...you and me, I mean).

I recently replaced a product that a lady purchased more than 10 years ago. The great part about that is that this item was still in our product line. She loves this ball for occupational uses with her clients and it recently busted. She remembered that it had the guarantee and since her consultant was no longer in the biz, she contacted me. I got it sent to her in less than 2 weeks!!!

Check out the current product line at www.discoverytoysinc.com

Anyway...I know that we are all here as professionals. For that reason, I am offering anyone who contacts me from this site a discount of 15%. So...shop til you drop, but when you are ready to order...email me with the item #, quantity, and price. I will pop you a total that includes tax & shipping, plus your discount. Stock up on supplies for the daycare and for your personal gift giving! Your parents will appreciate that you care enough to provide top of the line products and in turn they may convince you that it is worth your wild to do this as a side biz...who knows!!!

If starting a business like this appeals to you...feel free to contact me and I will gladly help you get started.

If others have businesses that they represent, please post her (especially if you are offering a similar discount)!!!

Have you seen this item - RIDE2ROLL™ SCOOTER

I seen it in the store I THINK .. does it turn from a scooter to a push car for a child learning to scoot?

My grandson wants a skate board- we have all seen pics of his head - NO WAY !!!

This might be a safe alternative toy for him ..looks like fun!

am going through the catalog now ... I have some really cool toys that I have no idea where to get them and I just found them in your catalog!!

I have
GO GO CATERPILLAR
GIANT PEGBOARD™ Toy
WORKING TRIO Dump Trucks

I have other things too but I dont see them on there ..
I have a toy similar to the Go GO Caterpillar .. ya push it down and it goes

I have these bowls that I lay on the floor and they have faces on the other side there silly ..and the kids throw bean bags into them and they flip over showing the silly faces.

I have a game that is a tray with a deck of cards inside ..cars / semis of different colors go on top of this grid ..and u pull a card and match the pattern

I am sure there is more ..I got most of them from yard sales! @ .50 -$1.50

I am wondering how this works as a fund raiser?

As for the bowls with the silly faces...that is an old DT product and I can't remember the name, but I had a set too. My little folks loved it and one of my previous kiddos cried so badly when I gave it away.

Regarding the fundraiser...we have an awesome fundraiser called the 2-4-6 Read-a-thon. How this works is you shoot me a list of items that you want to earn for your daycare. I send you the paperwork (I can do this either via email or snail mail) and you have your kiddos read at school for 2 weeks (this is a team effort...12 minutes at home & 12 at school...yes, this could be adapted where the little ones are read to...). This comes to 4 hours of reading. Then you have the parents get sponsors (we encourage 6 @ at $1 per hour of reading...4 hours) This comes to $24 per child. Keep in mind that the kids can get more sponsors, but if they meet the minimum, you can see that it will still add up.

Once the funds have been raised, you send all the funds to me so that I can place the order for your toys. I have them delivered to you and you can enjoy them. As a thank you for your children's efforts...I send certificates to each child. If you want to step it up, you can use a portion of the funds raised to purchase a prize for the top fundraiser! This has been a HUGE success in other daycares. Email me at yesmichelle@charter.net if you are wanting to try this!

Take care and thanks for letting me share here...

By the way, I have not seen the Ride2Scooter...but I agree that safety must be the first thought in getting things for our little people.
