Toolkits
Assemble your own
Ideally, curriculum users will build their own tools and assemble a toolkit for local use. Such kits are custom made and usually contain both reusable and consumable supplies. Thus, your toolkit might have every item needed to make rope because your group really likes to make rope. Your friend's toolkit might contain tools and books for all activities because users are expected to do all activities and to furnish their own consumable items such as indigo dye, cotton linter, and yarn.

Basic toolkits are available for one-month loans to Cornell Cooperative Extension educators. No fee is charged, but the borrower must arrange transport. Please contact Charlotte Coffman, cwc4@cornell.edu, 607-272-7551, to reserve a kit.
