   Shaving cream is a lot of fun. You spray a little on the table, spread it out and you can draw with it. ABC etc.
   Cereal, you can count with it and glue it to pictures.
   crayons, water color paints paper
   good luck

   Paper plates
   straws
   PVA glue
   thin garden canes (Great for making masks with paper plates!)
   lollypop sticks

   If you go to the TTS website (just type it into google) you will find many craft resources and lots of ideas. This is a school supplies website but anyone can set up an account and order.
