    anyway, our local spotlight store is having a closing down sale. They have bags of junk for $5. I bought soo man bags, LOL sure is junk but so worth it. Theres lots of ribbons, paint, paint brushes, buttons, nik nax, but its pick of the drawer.

    and all she plays with is masking tape, paint, paper and her scissors!

    We did smiley faces on paper plates the other day - DD loved that, I think she did about 5 in a sitting!

    We have a local council run place called "thats not garbage" or something similar, and basically business's donate excess or scrap stuff and then you can go in and fill diff size bags, starting at like $2 upwards. Its stuff like corks, photo paper, material, plastic tubes, etc. All really good stuff.

    I haven't looked on it for a while, but the playschool website I think has some good ideas. One I like is roll a piece of paper up into a tube, put some marbles into different coloured paint and then put them in the tube, put the lid on and roll the tube around. Makes some cool effects.

    What about using white crayons to draw on white paper, and then paint over the top - kind of like secret messages?

    Do you have any falling leaves at the moment? I remember as a kid we used to do leaf paintings, just cover the leaf in paint and press it onto paper and it leaves the cool veiny effect.

    Today at playgroup we made kites (I use the word very loosely..lol) using paper bags with holes punched at one end, and some of the curly ribbon, or you could just use string, tied onto the holes. Then paint or stick stuff onto the bags with glue, and glue some streamers to the bottom.
