In Practice● Find idea source (Bayviews.org, etc.)● Search “_____ activities for preschoolers”● Consider ages, my abilities● Ask for help (requesting books, prep work)● Buy local supplies when possible● Request about 10 books (view, choose, extras)● Plan for extra, use as drop in activity● Budget (aim for $1/kid) Ask for occasional donation if project is over budget
