    Default Cheap Craft resources.

    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:

    They Include
    Cake Cases, table cloth, cups, paper plates, gift bags and paper dishes and Confetti in cats, cauldrons and pumpkins & bats / spiders and webs for HALLOWEEN

    Party Bags and Confetti in chicks, flowers and rabbits / easter eggs for EASTER

    Confetti in Tropical Fish and Farm Animals for general crafts

    Happy New Year Card, Pack of decorated chopsticks and Confetti in Red and Gold circles and Lucky charms for CHINESE NEW YEAR

    Confetti in Chilli Peppers for MEXICAN INDEPENDANCE DAY

    Jumbo Confetti in gold coins and shamrocks for ST PATRICKS DAY

    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
