Last summer, Eileen, an awesome children’s librarian, turned the same bulletin board into a popular find it wall, which basically took a few sticks of hot glue, heavy duty foam core, and an assortment of odds and ends. Kids loved looking for things! We’ve
also temporary created moveable wall tracks with toilet paper rolls, magnets, and big pomp poms. If anyone has questions, I’m happy to put them in touch with Eileen—families love what she creates.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Con: Some parts of the unit no longer function because children broke them. Specifically, they tore off a magnet used to move magnetic balls around, and they figured out how to work loose some parts of a maze, so they are gone. Of the
original seven play activities, only five still function. <u></u><u></u></p>

One of your fellow libraries has a question, I said I would post it and forward all responses:<br>
<br>
I am currently looking into a wall unit, an activity wall for the smaller kids to play on. Do you know what libraries have them and what they think about it? Good investment or no? THANKS!<u></u><u></u></p>
