I went Shopping at Michael's craft store and was surprised at what I found! TONS of kits for .29 cents, .49 cents, .69 cents and .89 cents. They included things like a box with a wooden car, wheels, paint, paint brushes and everything you need, an airplane kit, and tons of others like sun catchers, paint by number kits, coloured sand and sticky paper pictures. I left with a huge bag for $10....for the older kids I have a bucket of rocks I grabbed from the beach for painting (& I also grabbed papers from the tear off pads at Michaels craft store to show them examples of already painted rocks...there are a lot of funky duct tapes out there now. See what they can create with it. I'm sure duct tape has a web site on things you can make out of duct tape - wallets, clothes, etc.
