[jillyj]

hi. where can i get some cheap but good special needs, cultural toys.

ebay is your best friend for everything ;)

do you have happyland from ELC? they do a huge variety of people (wheelcairs, glasses, cultural, freckles, hair colours, skin colours, etc).

I second ebay too, always good things on there.

The works and redhouse are good for books.

Carboot sales :-)

I have got some fab stuff recently. An annabel ethnic doll for £2, a little people pirate ship £1, new books called my friend is deaf, my friend is blind etc for 50p each, a great soft mat £4, some outdoor PE kit for 50p....you have to sort through all the rubbish obviously.
