Under Fives Crafts and Arts at Home- Help please to find good place for ideas

[echo]

My attempts yesterday to 'make' our Grannys mothers cards were a disaster!

I tried to find good places for ideas on the web, but didn't really find anywhere. Maybe just a bad day for me;)

Where should I be looking?

Also does any one subscribe to the 'creative mag' is seems expensive at ?7 per copy- but maybe worth it?

Thanks,

Activity village is a brilliant resource - goes thru festivals throughout the year - Martin Luther King Day, St patricks day, Hannukah, Divali, Christmas - it's great. And...it's free!

And there are many others of course - I'm just a faithful follower of this one now :o)

http://www.yellowmoon.org.uk/ Not cheap, but very interesting, lots of stuff. I really like their products.

I heard the ? shop in Lewisham is good for stickers but haven't been recently.

The Mister Maker range from MotherCare looks promising. They do a Bumper Craft Box. http://www.mothercare.com/Mister-Maker-Bumper-Craft-Box/dp/B004QB50MM

Little Saff and I save the boxes from catfood sachets and turn them into all sorts of things, like treasure boxes etc. I also saved 10 1L milk cartons, and we're going to turn them into bowling pins!

Oh, also check out the Arts, Crafts, and Books section on the Myriad website. A lot of the stuff is for 4+ years, but you could adapt it down to younger. http://www.myriadonline.co.uk/natural-crafts-and-craft-materials.php
