Cheap Craft resources.

[wellybelly]

Moneys tight at the minute but I really want to be able to support the children I care for with lots of multicultural activities and resources. So I've purcahsed some cake cases, party bags, confetti, celebration cards and sequins which promote multicultural activities. I go them from additions direct and they are around £1.50 each for the confetti plus a bit more for the other things. I just want to prove that finding resources which promote multicultural activities doesn't have to be expensive.

Confetti List:

I know it's only confetti but it's cheaper than foam shapes for every multicultural activity we cover in a year. Baker ross is great but I cannot afford them at the moment. I also picked up some greeting cards from my local post office which celebrate Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival, Divali and Mexican Independance Day
