- Where did you purchase the books/tapes and headphones?
I tried craigslist without much luck and haven't done much of a web search yet because just decided to add a little corner in my space for kids to listen to stories with headphones.
Any info would be great. Thanks!!
I buy all my books with CD's from Scholastic:

The sets are under $20 for 4 or more books. Great deals! Worth signing up for and everytime you order you earn points that gets you free stuff!
I do have something similar to this:

but if you do not want to spend alot of money I originally started out with kid size headphones purchased from Target for under $5 a pair and a regular CD player with a multi-headphone jack like this one

They still sell similar ones in the discount stores, really cheap. I let them sit on a mat and turn the page when they hear the beep....
Oh, and you can check out childrens books/tapes sets at your local library....
Catherder: your comment made me laugh because I always say "Walkman" when I am talking about my i-pod and my DS keeps saying "Mom, what IS a Walkman? and why do you keep calling your i-pod that?" He really had no idea what in the world a Walkman was!!!
