We have a wonderful local Facebook group which is all about paying it forward, repurposing and recycling items. People place items in the group that they no longer want and the best bit is they are free. One person’s rubbish is another person’s treasure and all of that. Sometimes people also put requests in the group and that’s what I did for the foam puzzle pieces for the giant board game. In my mind they seem like something people would buy, use for a while and then they’d just sit creating clutter. I had someone immediately respond that they had a set they no longer used and they were happy to pass them along to us for free. That gave me the base for the game.
