Hi guys. I got the go ahead to purchase an activity cart for lower functioning residents. Its really expensive. I don't want to wind up with a bunch of pricey stuff we cannot use. Does anyone have any experience with these carts?

I've seen these carts in the Nasco catalogs, and they are pretty enticing, but I will never purchase one due to the high price. It seems like a better idea to slowly accumulate themed supplies and compile one's own cart than to make such a large, intimidating purchase like that. By taking the slow route, you get to see what your residents respond to in the process and you can put together a truly personalized cart that fits your specific residents' needs. Some of my residents have pretty obscure interests that I know I won't find in a pre-assembled cart listed in a catalog.
