You really need to spend very little to do so, many items are free if you are willing to do some leg work: [B]Nature:[/B] pine cones rocks in various sizes tree cookies (find some decent size branches and have sliced into thin and/or thick slices) leaves (this could be sensory play or they can be laminated and hung for viewing or used for rubbings, etc) pine tree branches thick branches tree bark chunks driftwood [B]Paper[/B] Gift wrap (think different designs, not characters, etc) wax paper mylar paper foil parchment [B]Fabric[/B] old curtains burlap old clothing cut up (denim, corduroy, silk/satin, socks with feet cut off, etc.) call a local seamstress or fabric shop and ask for remnants [B]Home Depot , carpentry or building supply stores[/B] Carpet samples wallpaper sample books paint card samples wood scraps ceramic tile samples pvc pipe scraps [B]Butcher[/B] Cardboard tubes from butcher paper rolls [B]Local newspaper[/B] end rolls of newsprint [B]Winery or local bar[/B] corks boxes from wine bottles [B]other stuff from Around the house[/B] caps from old markers milk bottle caps clothespins plastic cups for stacking drink coasters The possibilities are endless.
