Similarly to the story that you purchased for this course, The Little Hummingbird by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, I am trying to do as much as I can to source local, natural, and plastic-free resources to use for this course and into your future careers. I am happy to support some Canadian handmade small shops such as What A Bag from Kimberley, BC for our reading kit bags, Tree Fort Toys from Victoria, BC for our alphabet discs, and Little Larch from Calgary, AB for our playdough. Chalk Full of Design out of the USA is a small, handmade shop that made our alphabet chalkboards. Other products were mainly sourced through businesses in Cranbrook, BC.
