fabulous present - simple and alot of fun

This one was suggested ( asked outright for ) by a friend as a present for her little boy who turns 7 tomorrow.  

"make a box of odds and ends he loves craft and he is not fussy as long as he can stick something to it he is happy" 

initially reluctant and in favour of lego ( I did feel a little cheap) I was persuaded. I had an absolute ball putting it together.  Obviously we do have quite a lot of lovely boxes here so that bit was easy. I raided the present bag for new textas and a writing pad and the rest has been hunted and gathered from around our home, props box and warehouse . The kids helped ( which meant A LOT of that was rejected) you could do the same at reverse garbage

Here is what we managed to crammed into the box . Lots and lots of treasure

owl paperclips

coloured rubber bands

various handmade paper

red tissue paper 

trend boards

ribbon

wooden clothes peg

chalk label

rubber

textas

sketch book

round box

various interesting shaped envelopes

if you have a crafty friend I would highly recommend it. can't wait to see what he makes. 

 if you don't have such bower bird tendencies and you live in Sydney or would like an excuse to visit

reverse garbage is the ultimate day out for a crafty friend. 

grab a box and have a ball or you can now order online.
