of a bulletin board into a LEGO wall very easily and inexpensively. 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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

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!<o:p></o:p></p>
