You might find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Paper from the printer and other types of paper such as wrapping paper, coloured paper, cardboard, newspaper, advertising material in your letterbox, envelopes (new or used)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Materials to recycle such as egg cartons, cereal boxes, other small boxes (see what you can save into jars or leave in the bag inside the box if these are in your pantry), plastic bottles and containers, big boxes from deliveries or those ones you kept just in case, tissue boxes (great for posting things into when you\u2019re little), paper tubes, ribbons, packaging materials, tissue paper. Natural materials like shells, leaves, twigs, stones, interesting seed pods and any other items capturing your child\u2019s interest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any art materials like paint, food colouring, glue sticks and other glue, string, tape, stapler, child-sized scissors, hole punch, crayons, marker and chalks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Store the materials in a large container<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep adding to these containers over time. Children will love this collection and will spend hours creating, using this resource often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy the peace and quiet when your child is fully engaged, or join them to create!
