Early Elementary (K-3) Busy Bag Swap

This is a busy bag swap with bags geared to 6-9 year old children. Rules: Everyone in the group will trade with everyone else. With that in mind, we will not know the total number of people in the group until it closes on August 9th and partners are assigned. You will need to mail out your busy bags to your group members NO LATER than September 1st. Your group members will give you a rating based upon your meeting this deadline. Please remember - a rating of 5 is BEST (hearts if you love it) a rating of 3 if you don't like it & rating of 1 if it is NOT SENT. Do not confuse these. If someone gets too many 1 ratings, Swap Bot will automatically suspend their account. Please do not sign up for swaps this month if you were not able to meet the deadline last month. Instead, use this month go get ahead. If you are new to the swaps, please do not sign up for more than ONE swap your first month. It is always a good idea to keep Post Office receipts to prove that you mailed your packages on time. Taking photos of your busy bags and posting them on the group FB page is also encouraged. Think carefully about the amount of time that you have to dedicate to busy bag swapping this month BEFORE you sign up - once you are signed up, Swap Bot will not allow you to back out. Plan ahead! Try to mail your busy bags out a week before they are due in case an unforseen family emergency, sickness, loss of job, etc. happens. Please consider how much it will cost to mail out your busy bags BEFORE you sign up. Figure approximately $2 per bag US and $3 per bag Canada per package. Estimate at least 5 (up to 8) people that you are mailing to. You should budget $10-15 PER GROUP for POSTAGE ONLY (not supplies) when you sign up. The most popular activities that our group members have made have not been the most expensive ones, but the ones that people take time on and make look really nice. Please take a look at the FB group's photo albums for ideas of what members have been making. THANK YOU!
