3 Year Supply List

Below are the craft supplies, supplemental materials, and books suggested for the Complete 3 Year Curriculum, 3rd ed. While the list may appear long, most items are already found in a home or preschool setting. Substitute as needed, but remember that consistent access to foundational books, quality textures, purposeful activities, and imaginative play deeply supports the child’s learning.

Many items can be purchased at a local supermarket, and Amazon links are provided for quick viewing and gathering of anything missing. Refer to the Lesson Plans to see how each item is used and whether a substitution will work. The following list does not correlate with the Online 3 Year Curriculum for Families.

The following links are affiliate links. This means that this ministry receives an itty-bitty commission if you choose to purchase through these links.
