    Scissors, glue and paper, pipe cleaners, little googly eyes, i got these great stick on things from kmart, they are farm style, so fences, animals and stuff, they have a peel off back and stick to paper so great for collages.

    Anything too tricky and i have figured out to have some things kind of pre prepared to go.. nothing too hard, but i had the great idea the other week to paint a box and decorate it, well it took 3 hours to do all the layers of the colour on the box before we could even decorate it.. so next time i will paint boxes at night, and have then all ready to go for decorating the next day :-)

    Imogen really likes stickers and sticking stuff so I just chuck double sided tape on heaps of stuff like old cards and wrapping paper, ripped books and yeah, magezine and newspaper or we make stickers out of things she has drawn too.

    I just started keeping stuff like bottles and tops, boxes, fallen off buttons, ribbons from presents, cards, wrapping paper um anything! Kids really do find a way to use everything haha. Straws and string are good and things to thread, cotton wheels and stuff.
