'arts and crafts' for toddler ?

[Enid]

Dd (2 +5months) loves painting, drawing, sticking etc. Does anyone know a good place to get cheapy glue, papers - what I would LOVE is a bag of assorted 'shapes' for her to stick (I know I should cut things out of magazines for her but Heat, Vogue and the Guardian don't provide very rich pickings!)

Should I use that white pva glue or stick (ha ha) to prittstick?

Any other tips for toddler 'arts and crafts' gratefully appreciated!

Check out Baker Ross . Not tried them but the catalogue as some interesting stuff & ideas.

wow - drool, what a great site!! Can't wait to see dd's face when she sees the bumper packs of gummed circles and stickers etc. And pipe cleaners! I think I'm going to enjoy this at least as much as her...

Ditto - Excellent site - heaven! They supply HAMA beads too - the MAXI ones are suitable for 3-5 yrs olds, (but my youngest could do them well at 2.5). My boys will sit and do these for 30 - 60 mins at a time, and you can iron them to make them permanent, and they make good prezzies for doting rellies too. We've just graduated onto the standard sized beads, but the MAXI are a great starter level - but hard to get hold of in UK shops.
