Hi there,

I've been asked for PC donation for my son's pre-school.
I'd like to do a small basket including a cookbook, a few small
tools and a coupon. I need a catchy description of what
I'm donating for a booklet they're doing.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Ellen
 
When do they need the basket? Before or after new products are out.
 
what about something having to do with quick, easy and affordable dinners? That phrase is exactly what people need to know about us and it would catch my eye!

I have to submit it this week for a fundraiser in December
 
I would go with the new holiday cook book then.. the cover is so cute and the price is affordable as a give away. Maybe a scoop for cookie dough to go with it and a few other things. But I really love the idea of the new ckbk.
 
Since it's December, I'd go with Holiday Treats Basket and include:
Festive Holiday Desserts
Beaded Spreader
Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkles
Sweet Caramel SprinklesThat brings the total to $29 retail. You could add a few more things if you wanted to be more generous or take away the Sprinkles if this is a little too rich for what you've budgeted.
 
and your basket could be a piece of SA.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I donate a basket of kitchen supplies to a pre-school?

Donating a basket of kitchen supplies to a pre-school can greatly benefit the children and educators. It provides essential tools for cooking activities, promotes healthy eating habits, and encourages hands-on learning experiences. Additionally, it fosters a sense of community and support for local education initiatives.

What items should I include in the basket?

Consider including a variety of kitchen supplies that are safe and suitable for young children. Items such as measuring cups, mixing bowls, child-friendly utensils, aprons, and cookbooks with simple recipes can be great additions. You might also include non-perishable food items or ingredients for cooking projects.

How can I ensure the basket is age-appropriate?

To ensure the basket is age-appropriate, focus on items that are designed for young children, such as plastic utensils, silicone baking molds, and non-sharp tools. Avoid any items that could pose a choking hazard or are too complex for preschoolers. Consulting with the pre-school staff can also provide insights into what would be most beneficial.

Can I include Pampered Chef products in my donation?

Yes, including Pampered Chef products in your donation can be a great idea! Their high-quality kitchen tools and gadgets are designed to make cooking easier and more enjoyable. Just ensure that the items are suitable for the age group and safe for children to use.

How can I promote my donation to encourage others to contribute?

You can promote your donation by sharing your initiative on social media, reaching out to local community groups, and collaborating with other Pampered Chef consultants. Highlight the importance of supporting early childhood education and how others can contribute, whether through donations or by hosting cooking classes that benefit the pre-school.
