Here's a glimpse of mine...My expensive pieces were all grant-funded. I offer one activity a month, plus passive activities like bookmark making.

But I do have a decent budget to replenish supplies.

I also have had lots of fails: 3Doodler Pens (get jammed easily - only one kid at a time), What's Your Word (lots of errors, used too many pieces), Duct Tape (they just use it up for nothing), Zentangle (I liked it better than they did).

Hello,


I am putting together a proposal for a makerspace area at my school. I am wondering if any middle school librarians currently have makerspaces and if you could share with me some of the most successful items you've ordered for it, how your makerspace is utilized, and any design ideas.

I would really appreciate it!


Thanks,

Kara
