Do You Have Puzzle & Game Pieces That Need A Home?

[AdventureGuru]

Hi Everyone
I'm currently working on a project...I'm making an I Spy board for the hospital that I volunteer at. I need puzzle pieces or game pieces that no longer have a home. Cards from old games will work too. Would anyone be willing to share any of theirs? Or does anyone know where I can find some of these things? Do you think if I email companies they might send me a piece or two?
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Guru

Great idea

A good place to check would be a daycare or your local school, especially if they have an after school program. The games get such wear and tear, that there are almost always 'extra' pieces and things that need new homes. I would definitely explain WHY the pieces are needed. People are more likely to give that stuff up if they know it is for charity/a good cause and not just personal use! Good luck!

I don't know what a spyboard is, but I do know that you can find used puzzles and games at second hand stores for a dollar or less. I go there to pick up books and games for the kids at my job and find pretty good deals. Good luck!
