I have used these patterns in the past at a school where I formerly taught, and so looked to Amazon to find them recently for the new preschool I'm opening this fall. They are such a good value, because they have so many uses and are so thorough in their coverage of seasons, transportation, shapes, foods, etc. There is probably not a subject or image they don't cover, and they can be reduced to create name tags, bulletin board art, puppets, etc., or used as sized for games, coloring pages, student book covers -- the possibilities are endless. I wouldn't want to start the year without them!

Bought this for a daycare program and all the teachers use it, from the baby room all the way to the afterschool care. It's a great resource for crafts, projects and holiday activities!

I'm not a preschool teacher, just a mom of a four- and two-year-old. The jumbo patterns are definitely helpful for projects, and there is an abundance of educational ideas and activities included.
