Reddit mentions: The best arts & crafts supplies

When I was a kid I used to get Highlights magazine sent to my house every month. It was MARVELOUS! My favorite thing about it was the search and find. I would suggest these magazines for your daughters because that are fun and educational and everyone loves getting things in the mail. It's really awesome. I currently do it for my son who is 2. We are still getting the year 0-2 because they also send books. Which is great. My grandmother just signed us up on Christmas.

• Adela - Spirograph I remember these used to be so much fun. They were amazing. Make sure to get colored pencils, a pencil sharpener and lots of fun paper too for this present.
  
  
• Isla Sculpey clay. Since she likes play-doh, clay is a superior product and doesn't "spoil" so to speak. You can buy it on amazon. The best part about sculpey is that when you shape it to what you want, you can then bake it. Then it becomes a hard like figure which she can then paint. I feel like this would be a super fun project to do with both the girls. Get them set up on the table to roll and play with their clay. Get some of those molds for clay to help them create something and then have them bake it and paint it! Can keep them entertained for a few hours with a resulted finished product. You might be able to have a preplanned product to make before going into it. For instance, Try to make real simple animals. There are easy tutorials of balllike animals that are wicked cool. Type that into google watch the video. I would link it but I"m in class right now and this guy is just going on and on and I'd love to have a video interrupt my Ben Stein teacher but... I'd also like to pass the class so.. Sorry you'll just have to google that. Anyway, so
  
  For Isla I would suggest: Sculpey clay, molds and presses for the clay, and kid paints. This is great for gifts too.. have them make stuff for others. It helps improve dexterity skills which makes it a really great idea.
  
  Both of these gifts are interactive and are able to be used by both of the Princesses.
  
  EDIT:: Sculpey clay
  
  Sculpey with colors in it already
  
  Fun molds
  
  

Oh my GOSH this is so fuuuun, I wish I had kids to make baskets for, I love this stuff! So here are my go-tos:

1. Play dough, or crayola air clay. Why BUY dinosaurs when you can MAKE YOUR OWN dinosaurs?
   
   
2. Bubbles, but these are bubble guns that light up. Cheap, comes with 2! ALWAYS put bubbles in baskets. Bubbles are 100% fun 100% of the time!
   
   
3. This POkemon sticker set has 10 sheets, which you can split into 5 sheets for each kiddo. Fair is fair!
   
   
4. Check out this dinosaur excavation kit! It's a steal for 5 bucks.
   
   
5. These Mario blocks filled with chocolate coins are super cool!
   
   
6. Educational science kits for backyards are a great way to keep kiddos smart and occupied.
   
   
7. Let's be honest, this would be adorable and hilarious for the 6 year old kiddo!
   
   
8. This dinosaur book is adorable, too
   
   
9. Kites are universally fun, video games or not!
   
   
10. Styluses are easy to lose. The older kiddo could probably use some fun Pokemon ones before the inevitable.
    
    I have TONS more ideas, let me know if you need more! ^u^

Backstory... I'm a bit of a geek. Seriously. I've also got Gallium And ferrofluid.

BEST april fools prank. I have one I just did, so not really april fools but still wonderful. My coworkers helped me saran wrap one of my employee's car. It was fantastic, yes I have photographic evidence if anyone is interested. Truly. Another is taping an airhorn to the underside of my GM's chair.

Fin or embarrassing fact or story... um... wow. Okay, this is fun and embarrassing. OK, here goes....

I like Zumba... Like REALLY like zumba... I would do it every day if I had time. Lots of panting and sweating with my wii controller strapped to my hip. So fun.

If you're like me and learn better from pictures (I had a hard time with videos - there are a lot of great things out there on youtube, but I got annoyed with having to rewind back and forth all the time!) try checking out the pattern book section at your local craft store. I picked up this book (http://amzn.com/B000WV84ZA) at AC Moore and it was great, especially since it had left-handed directions as well. The diagrams were really clear, and they ease you into all the basic stitches and how to read patterns. They didn't have it available as a kit like the one shown in that link when I went, but that might be a great option as well so you don't have to figure out what supplies you'll need to get started. I think the hardest part for me after initially figuring out the basics was learning how best to hold my hook and yarn - it felt really awkward to me for a while. It definitely takes some practice, but once your hands build some muscle memory it'll click and you'll be addicted! :)

If you aren't yet 18 I can't condone getting into vaping regardless of if you are using 0 nic or not. At the core of it you are inhaling substances that still has not been fully researched and the long term impact of using is not fully understood. I won't go into how you go from being a child to an adult overnight when you turn 18 but 18 is what we all are stuck with as being the age in which you can use these types of products.

That all being said if you suffer from severe anxiety and clinical level (or any for that matter) depression you need to seek professional help. I say this with all seriousness. These are diseases and need treatment. Whether that means cognitive or talk therapy or medication or herbal/alternative treatment. Please take it from someone who knows. You've taken an important first step in recognizing you have a problem so please take then next important step and ask for help.

I love vaping. It helped me quit cigarettes after my first vape. And currently I don't see myself stopping any time soon. However, would I vape if I had never smoked? Probably not, in fact most likely not.

All seriousness aside check out this stuff Kinetic Sand it is amazing and hours of fun to play with.

Things can get better, but unless you ask for help and take that step they will not get better on their own.

Please take care of yourself. There is only one of you and we'd hate to lose you.

Now, if you turn 18 and decide to try out vaping please feel free to come back here and we'll all be happy to help you to vaping nirvana.

Cheers.

Little late but I have some suggestions. Sorry for formatting on mobile.

This thing is amazing you can daze out with it forever. Just a string with a strobe like light.

Also lava lamps are beautiful to look at.

In the higher end of stuff korg kaoss pads are super fun to hook your phone up to and effect any audio you play though it.

Edit: links

I loved these giant bricks so much at that age! Superfun for basic stacking as well as advance building.

Should probably wait a bit on this one, but Cootie is the best game ever for the preK & K crowd. Another classic game is Memory.

Have some construction paper, brown paper bags (I cut the bottoms off, then down one seam and use the backside as kraft paper), markers, and crayons. Even the 2 year old can rip paper up and stick it to contact paper to make fun collages! Bonus, no need for scissors!

And please don't forget books! Board might be best for the little girl, but if she's not an eater/tearer, then go ahead and get paper or hard backs. Rikki Tikki Tembo, a Seuss collection, Where's Spot, some Eric Carle, Carl, Richard Scarry, Jamberry, and some Little Golden Books ought to be a good start! Protip: Thrift shops have tons of books for kids in great condition.

Green Stuff is your friend.

Basically you take a little green and a little blue, roll it up into a ball until it is play-doh consistency and use it as tack. It is great for attaching arms/legs/weapons to models, but also for sticking them to bases. I do not prefer going straight super glue to model as the joints will be weaker, but pinning a model with soder or a paper clip is kind of a pain the butt. Green stuff is a happy in between method. Good joint strength easy to use.


Regarding bases specifically, I always fill in the gap of the base with green stuff before proceeding. Roll out a small line, then superglue it into the gap. Smooth out the underside of the base and scrap away excess. You need to work fairly quickly as the green stuff starts to harden after about 5 to 10 minutes. You’ll have enough time, just don’t go walk away and bake cookies or something.


Next decide if you want to keep the flash on the base of the model (rectangle attaching the feet). Some models, Obulous or Brisket for example, should keep the flash because their models will be less stable as they only stand on one foot. On a normal model, standing on two feet, I prefer to cut the flash off.


If you kept the flash on, glue up the flash and just stick it right into the green stuff you used to fill in the base, then remove any excess from both the top and underside. If you removed the flash, roll up two tiny balls of green stuff, super glue them to the feet, then superglue that to the base. Its ok if it is a little sloppy or some of the excess is left over because you'll want to cover it up with a good flock.

Easy peasy!

Congratulations - 8 months is a pretty big deal! You've done something amazing and you deserve to be recognized for it! 8!8 (butterfly) ---,---,--@ (flower)

) is the best clay my twin girls can play with - it doesn't grind into carpets easily, it can air-dry, it won't crumble like moon dough, and it won't dry into spiky nuggets that hurt when you step on them. :)

It's also good for stress relieving for us grown-ups too, as it has a nice consistency when you knead it in your hands - not sticky or mushy like regular clay.

THIS IS SO COOL.

  Dinners on you!
  
  PS: This sand is fascinating.

Hey!
I've taught preK for a few years (4~5 year olds) most of what I buy for my classroom usually has some type of educational value to it. (ie. legos/puzzles/craft supplies are all great for fine motor control practice! esp. scissors, lol) these are a few of the things my kids love:

Boys & girls:
Crayons/markers/paper/coloring books/art packs

http://www.amazon.com/Crayola-Story-Studio-Fairy-Princesses/dp/B004Z1JTSO/ref=sr_1_8?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1321687867&sr=1-8

http://www.amazon.com/Crayola-240-Sheet-Construction-Paper/dp/B00125Q27M/ref=pd_rhf_se_shvl_tab0_cpp_4

Books:
I usually buy books that I loved when I was little, Robert Munsch, Dr. Seuss, Clifford the Big Red Dog, etc. Other titles that have been popular in my classroom are "Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" "Dinosaur Roar!" "I want my hat back" "Llama Llama Red Pajama".

Puzzles:
Simple 10~30 piece puzzles, I usually buy a pack of 3~5 that very in difficulty.

Lego / megablocks:
A small bucket or play set can be purchased for ~$10

Playdoh: Now this one I say with some hesitation, while I have never met a kid that doesn't LOVE play doh, I have met many parents who hate it equally.


Things they take to school with them:

Boys:
Transformers, cars, Yu-gi-oh!, Pokemon, nerf guns...

girls:
Monster High dolls, Squinkies, stuffed animals, Littlest pet shop

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4070592&searchURL=false


If you go to a site like toyrus or amazon you can set a search to include age, value, gender, etc.

Good luck! :)

Its ok n00b, we forgive you! :)

I love to relax. LOVE IT. I plan to do it today, but I need to clean my house at some point because something smells weird. o.O

Generally, when i'm having a relaxation day I stay in bed, or veg out on the couch. I'll order a pizza or Chinese food because they both last all day at least. I'll Reddit until there aren't any posts left, or until I get really bored. I'll go on FB to see what everyone is up to. I haven't been posting there much lately because its all close friends and family and I dont want to burden them with my feelings as i'm generally a very happy and positive person. This week has just been VERY rough. After FBing I might check my email or do a few paid surveys to try to make some money to make me feel like I did something constructive. Then I either turn on the TV and watch Prime or Netflix stuff, or I go to Youtube and watch documentaries until I fall asleep. The entire day has to be spent in my birthday suit.

Get me out of here! Seriously, do it. Something smells funky. :(

I just saw a "I taught myself crochet" book at Wal-Mart that included about 6 different hooks and some other stuff for $10 the other day. It's on Amazon for $15 right now, but that looks like an older edition from what I saw in store. Wal-Mart also had a better selection of yarns than I thought they would.

I'm personally a beginner as well (posted this question about a month ago!). Crochet Geek's youtube channel is okay, but I like it more now that I actually know what I'm doing. I tried her stuff from the get-go, but she doesn't teach you how to hold the yarn and the hook or anything. I had to get someone to show me in person. Finding a group is the best way to learn.

Another thing I did was hit up the local library and get a few beginners' books. I found one geared toward 8-year-old girls that probably helped the most. I'm definitely still a total nub, but I'm getting there...

It takes a lot of time. You need the right tools. Id' have an exacto knife, some clippers, some files, a good glue, and probably some gap filler. Oh, and a cutting board to work off of.

I linked some examples to give you an idea, you can feel free to find a particular product that works for you, although I do really like the Tamiya glue. There are a lot of little pieces so some people might like some tweezers as well. I use cupcake wrappers to help keep the pieces in one place as I'm assembling and keep them from getting lost. I'd recommend not working over carpet as a dropped piece might get lost forever in there.

As others have said, Vibrant Lantern has some great build guides, which are probably required for more complex models like the Phoenix.

Otherwise, don't let the amount of sprues overwhelm you. Pick a miniature to assemble and finish it before moving on to the next one. Most of them are fairly straightforward. I would really recommend you take your time in assembly, as getting the edges filed and gaps filled will pay off in the long run - nothing worse than a well painted model with gaps and mold lines showing. There are plenty of videos out there on how to do this if you aren't sure or just want some additional instruction.

Start with the White Lion and starting survivors. The Screaming Antelope and Butcher will be the next ones to tackle. All of these are fairly easy to assemble.

My favorite birthday memory is from two years ago. My future boyfriend (we weren't "officially" dating... You know dudes) threw me a surprise birthday dinner at my favorite pizza place. I thought it was going to be just the two of us, but when we got to the restaurant my friends were there to celebrate. It was very sweet of him.

Happy Birthday! Here are some markers I need for my classroom!

picked these out for landon this and this found this for noah dis found this cool ass toy site called fat brain toys there over priced but finding them else were cheaper lots of things landon will love he likes to build thing loves things like magnets what have you oh yes! :D

(Posted this on your r/christmas post, but sometimes they remove things with links, so I'm posting here too!)

I really like the Grimm's toys. They are kind of expensive, but super cool for kids to stack and build, organize by size/shape/color, and they are made out of wood which is a nice different texture than all the plastic toys kids have. My 4 year old son loves playing with all his Grimm's stuff. We have the large rainbow, some of the little peg people, the trees, fairy houses, and some blocks. I would also suggest kinetic sand, play silks and costumes, a rocker board, and water beads. All the above are great sensory toys and are big hits with kids with or without autism!

Oh man, you are the best for holding this contest! I am a SAHM and I need some new crafty/activity stuff to help keep the kids entertained! This modeling clay would be awesome! It's fun and promotes: creativity, hand-eye coordination, color recognition, etc....

I have 2 kids in the proper age range for this stuff and it would just make their day!

Nope, not for decent stuff. We've bought three times because we have a small sand table on our porch (so it lives outside uncovered) but after a couple months our three year old has lost half of it through the floor. Twice it's been perfect like this and doesn't change, one brand was crap but it was crap from day one. Oddly, he liked it at least as much, it just wouldn't hold shapes well. Anyway, all three were different brands from Amazon so if there's differences it seems to be more who made it than changes over time.

Btw, I'm pretty sure this is the one we bought last time and it's been great:

Waba Fun Kinetic Sand (2.2lbs/1000 gms) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CO5AQ12

It is just a standard jar I picked out at hobby lobby that was a hard edged cylinder. Lucky for you I posted a write up in /r/metroid. (I probably should have sold them as kits!)

PARTS LIST:

1. It starts with making a baby metroid perler. You can find the original sprite at the spriters-resource Pick your favorite!
   
   
2. Pick out the colors you require. Here is a handy chart. You can get perler beads at most hobby stores (Joanns, Hobby Lobby, Michaels)
   
   
3. Acquire pegboard. here's an example It comes with parchment paper. follow the directions for melting with standard clothing iron (Steam setting should be off)
   
   
4. Pick out jar. Choose cylinder with hard edges.
   
   
5. Acquire Water beads here. Note that you only need 1tsp for 16-20oz. They expand 300x their size.
   
   
6. Fill jar 1/3 full of water beads and place baby metroid centered in and level in the jar.
   
   
7. Fill remaining portion of jar with water beads so the sprite stays still. Now fill the jar slowly with bottled water so all voids are filled. Go ahead and give it a couple taps / shakes for the bubbles to be released.
   
   
8. Pick up base light. I really recommend this one. It has a rubberized sleeve that has good tacticity so the jar won't slip off.
   
   
9. ENJOY!

When I was about 6, I loved to draw but I was always bummed to use the "kid supplies" to draw with like crayons and markers. My mom went out and got me "real" art supplies because she said I was a "real artist" and needed the "big people" supplies. It meant the world to me, not only because the stuff she bought me was good but that she also believed in me... so, I would recommend for Adela:

• Professional Oil Pastels
  
• Good quality colored pencils (in a tin... the tin is key to feeling grown up)
  
• Artist SKetch Pad
  
• And, of course, an easel
  
  Now, for Isla, I'd definitely get her her own set of kids colored pencils or crayons so she doesn't try to steal her sister's "good stuff." Just get her a few packs of the crayola stuff. In addition to that, I would suggest:
  
  
• Kinetic Sand (there are other colors available if you search)
  
• Create a Book craft
  
• A Princess Tent to hide her messes
  
• Finger Paints

Sonya, Your Momma wouldn't tell you this but remember to share to your classmates. Sharing is caring. Treat others how you would treat yourself.

Congrats on being sober, that is awesome!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HDATZ
FUN???What could be more fun than CRAYONS

I got you the 100 piece jigsaw puzzle, and some construction paper.

I went with a pack of 300 sheets as opposed to the smaller individual packs you put on your wishlist. I hope that's works for you. The cost difference between the smaller packs (non-prime) and the pack I bought (prime) made buying the larger pack seem more sensible.

Also, just a bit of a tip. My wife and I hit up Office Depot this past weekend. We found these there for $1 each. They had dozens of them. If it's convenient for you, and if the cost isn't too prohibitive, I suggest checking out an Office Depot close to you.

You should have the items delivered to you on Friday, August 1st. I hope the paper helps, and I hope the kids enjoy the puzzle. :)

Depends on how faithful you want to be. I didn't want to do too much cutting and modeling, so I only made additive changes using green stuff, like doing a smooth coverup of the face to look more like the faceless hood.

Then I left the sword off of the left arm, and rolled some green stuff into thin long vines to wrap around the arm starting from the shoulder and ending just below the current hand to create the long branch claws.

I ended up not doing the claws on the other hand because i liked the pointing, but you could essentially do the same thing here. And thats pretty much it, as I feel like I will be able to get the feel of the leshen close enough with the paint job.

quick edit: you could probably also do some smaller vines coming off of him at the shoulder or elbow to simulate branches, kind of like this guy

I love these lights so much. They change color at different speeds/ patterns depending what you select and they're super cheap.

Also I have a rain stick that I made which is super fun to use.

Also kinetic sand

My daughter is 6! She likes Legos and Lego video games. Does your daughter have any consoles? You said she is getting in to video games. I can recommend Lego Harry Potter and the Lego The Movie video game. Spring is coming. Does she like birds? She might like a set of binoculars and this bird book. My daughter has that book and loves trying to find all of the birds listed in our area. Peeler beads are something your two girls can do together. They might also like a spin art machine.

Yeah! So green stuff is a form of epoxy putty that can be used to shape into objects or fill gaps in models. You use it by combining two sides of epoxy to form a new chemical compound, which will eventually harden dry. I don’t really know my way around it that well but it’s very useful! There are many brands but here’s a link to one: The Army Painter 2 Part Modelling Clay, 20cm - Mouldable Model Putty Modelling Compound for Miniatures, Easy-to-Knead Green Putty Epoxy Clay for Sculpting - The Original Green Stuff Kneadatite https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AE5ZQO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_98y5CbZDYMPRK :)

Whatever you do, don't but the GW green stuff. Firstly, the liquid stuff is terrible as mentioned above. I like the idea mentioned above but can be tricky to get right. The regular putty style green stuff is far more forgiving. I bought a pack of this for £8 about a year ago. Still got more than half of it and it's exactly the same stuff!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001AE5ZQO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-TXMzb3NC6FV5

Whichever route you take, the finish will be much better patching the gaps, especially if you get a good paint scheme on the model when you're done. Shame to have it let down by a kit miss match. Good luck!!

I have this construction paper on my WL for arts & crafts with the kiddos! :)

Here is a gif.

Thanks for the contest! :) ♥

Here is a giant stack of construction paper! i would also appreciate anything else on either the kids WL or kids books WL. if you felt like surprise gifting instead.


You are fantastic for hosting kids contests!! Thanks for being you.

Yay for getting one's financial house in order. It is such a nice feeling.

The last thing I licked was ahem my husband's wang dang doodle.

This emergency googly eye kit would be great, especially to put on aforementioned wang dang doodle. I can totally type penis, I just find the term "wang dang doodle" almost as funny as googly eyes on a penis. Almost.

/u/glanmiregirl because it seems like she is having a sad day, and she deserves to have a happy day, because of all of the things she does to help make RAOA an amazing place to be. I think she needs Googly Eyes because googly eyes = smiles. It's on her Miscellaneous list. She also needs something to put googly eyes on. It's on her Home & Kitchen list.

Anything colorful will work, and plushies tend to last a while this Alice and Wonderland set is a good example of long lasting plushies that will take some wear and tear.

Artwork for her room in bright colors would also be really cool.

Crayons, paints, art supplies. Crayola makes a lot of colorful art supplies for kids, like these washable paints. Then just get some giant paper to go with it and you've got some entertaining supplies!

"Green Stuff" Kneadatite sculpting putty by Army Painter

I get mine from my local hobby shop. I like Army Painter brand, but Citadel is probably easier to find locally.

I can't stress enough how important it is to take a little rough sand paper or a file or knife or something to the exposed plastic where you intend to bond it together with the super glue, and let it get tacky exposed to the air a few seconds before pushing the parts together.

Edit: link fix.

Glad you found some minitures you like!

As for getting the right parts for the minitures, I'd recommend using BitzBox it has most parts both 40K and fantasy, might have the bits you need.

Also I'd recommened getting some Green Stuff, some cheap sculpting equipment. With this you'll be able to edit, or even created new items for the warband. My friend and I use it quite often.

Sidewalk chalk for my girl

Fantastic summer item for my daughter
It will keep her fabously entertained
She can draw furry animals with it
Fast sidewalk drawings made by Ellie
They may be frail if left outside when a fierce storm hits
Family fun all packed into a case
Father ( and mother) approved!

This is a good start, and any old ball point will do. If you really bug out and love it, Amazon has more sets and pen bundles. Have fun!

You could buy the water beads they use for weddings and put those in the soil.

You can buy a pack of dehydrated ones at Wal-Mart for like, $1.50. You soak em in water and add them to the pot.. they'll slowly release the water back over a few days.

edit: The clear ones are also fucking awesome to play with.

I don't like onesies; I prefer the feeling of a waistband.

I'll second the Tangle and add Downbeats earplugs. Kinetic sand is cool. I can't find the one I have but sensory chews like this or this are great.

I did buy it. Here's a link to the clay I like to use. But that's kind of a lot of clay if you've never tried it before. (Plus I had a lot of paint lying around.) If you buy something like this you can get a lot of colors, and it will work just as well. You can also get a similar package at Walmart for cheaper. You can bake it in the oven at home. I might recommend wearing some gloves if you can, because I've found that some of the colors come off on your hands, especially the red. I used acrylic paint to make the eyes, which you can buy at Walmart for like 50 cents/bottle. You could also use a sharpie if you want. Hope this helps!

It's just usually called "green putty". There are several different brands. GW carries a two part putty, but it's the same as other brands, but way more expensive.

This is a two part that's really good. You can also use it to mold and sculpt parts, like purity seals and the like.

This plastic putty has a nozzle so you can control the bead.

Tamiya and Squadron both make white/green putty that's good for filling small gaps and cracks.

It feels so odd but pleasing lol.

I e used them before, but I found that the cost was too much per model. So I looked into the Vallejo texture paints, super cheap and just as good.

https://www.amazon.com/Vallejo-Dark-Earth-Gel-200ml/dp/B0044L8J2C

If I had this... I could be ALMOST as cool as you.

I love the animals you make. Maybe you can make a rainbow maned unicorn... THAT would be sweet as hell. Like this SOOO damn cute.

Here's a dragon you could try...

That's turtley awesome!

Thanks for the contest!! :)

Vallejo Dark Earth with a bit of grit scattered over the top. It's great stuff, you can pile it up so it's not all flat and you get nice little ridges and a fine sand texture once it dries.

Hanging out all day at the park with my dog makes me happy.

this along with this would
make me really happy.

A friend of mine who used to do event planning recommended I use water beads instead of water. Here's an example, but they come in all kinds of colors as well. She said that they're nice for in case vases are tipped over.

the wonderful /u/LaLocaChristina gifted me this ten pack. I have been having a lot of fun with it.

I'm not sure if you've ever seen this stuff before or if it is WTF worthy but it is still pretty fucking cool Magic sand. Here is a video of how it works... Always dry

I bought this spirograph set for a 5 year old cousin and my 6 year old daughter was super jelly, there are different set with varying prices too:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009VE38D2/

I also have this saved for in case my daughter is invited to a girl we dont know very well's b-day party:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WFKOSS/

My kid goes through sidewalk chalk like lightning, even when we catch it before its gets left out in the rain. I've found that either this or this are the best prices.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is probably the hardest thing someone can go through. Even though you were there, I know she thought of you and didn't blame you. Dogs are awesome like that =) Here are some of those smelly markers that are pretty much notorious for kids getting high off anything they can.

Saw this on /r/beamazed and thought that something like this would be great for PSH or Mini's.

The small balls are water beads

I teach at the elementary level, so for student souvenirs I ordered some scratch and sniff stickers and also scented markers to grade their worksheets. The novelty of smelly stickers and markers is something they really don't have much of or even know about here in Japan, so the kids are always mystified that these stickers smell like mint chocolate chip, cherry, nacho cheese, etc. It's kind of a culture point too since I tell the kids that I received these stickers all the time from my homeroom teachers growing up :)

water beads are by far one of my most popular options.

Home made fingerpaint (without the coloring), moondough, rainbow rice, beans, pasta shapes, beads, marbles, dirt, cotton balls, shredded paper, acorns, golf balls and color sand are all huge hits too. Adding glitter to anything also adds a lot of fun!

These are the ones my daughter uses for her plants, but OP may be using a different kind. His seem to blend together better.

They are really handy for not having to remember to water as often if you mix them with soil. Otherwise, they can take the place of soil, but you have to remember to feed the plants as well when you do it that way.

Oh yeah! Here in the states we have as many chalk colors as we do crayon and pencil colors!

look here. 48 colors!

60 here. Advertised bright colors!

> some magic shrink plastic I don't know about?

Why yes, there is

(before people start saying how this wouldn't work to make this game - it's a joke, calm down)

I generally achieve this by using "green stuff/kneadtite" (or more typically for weaponry...) milliput and sculpting the weapons.

I feel like actual wood might not be as durable as I'd prefer for regular tabletop use, especially if you have players that haven't been taught to be gentle with the miniatures or if you don't have a case for transport purposes. It should hold paint alright tho...but to be fair I've only ever used it for an actual basing material.

The "Carry on my Wayward Son" part sort of looks like it may have been written on this type of shrinking plastic. If you want, you could pick some up on Amazon or at your local craft store and easily replace that charm.

Here you go https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VE38D2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one is a simple and good one i found after testing out a few kits, just buy extra coloring pens because it only comes with 2 of them. Enjoy bro

Interesting but 25 pounds of kinetic sand would cost $225+

Or, here at Amazon.ca, 5kg for $85 so 3 packs w/shipping hit $250 for the best deal I could see ... or $988 for the worst deal :)

Seconded. Polymer clay could work well for this. That way you could cure it in the oven. Air-dry clay would work well for this too and may give you a more rugged appearance like they belong in-game.

Happy girls are the prettiest girls. :)

Every 5 year old should have sidewalk chalk!

Sonya, Your Momma wouldn't tell you this but

Thank you for the contest!

add-ons are pesky

I could use either this for $3.99

Or this for $4.97

Happy Thursday to you too!

Umm... I think you should buy this cause I know you like doing crafty bits and bobs and also being a kid, so FINGERPAINTS :)

and this for your furbaby or babies :)

Not OP.

Like the first picture shows, it's those water absorbing beads. Then when the jar is filled with water they become transparent.

Neat idea OP. :)

Not sure how long figures should be submerged, but it looks cool for a picture! (I'd imagine long term submersion would cause paint damage.)

> I would have been more than willing to skip food for a couple of days if it meant we could spend the extra money on Crayola.

Roseart 64-pack: $3.99

Crayola 64-pack: $4.50

I hope for your sake that the price difference was much greater when you were a kid.

this stuff:

https://www.amazon.com/Vallejo-Dark-Earth-Gel-200ml/dp/B0044L8J2C

it's like a thick paste or gel rather than a paint, and you can kinda push it around, make lumps and bumps or dents in the ground. looks pretty muddy. combine with some water effects to make actual puddles.

When I was a kid they sold this stuff as a toy in a little genie bottle. It was a lot of fun to play with.

You can apparently get it on amazon.

This wine carafe would hold my wine for when we are drinking during dinner (full school experience). I would imagine I may be able to use the bottle to store potions, if needed.

This umbrella resembles the shape of a broom with it I would be able to keep myself dry when it rains, and possibly would be able to substitute it for flying, if I could figure out how.

If I had this kit, I could learn to crochet myself a hat. The hat would clearly be needed for days when it is chilly and we are doing outdoor activities, like gathering stuff for spells.

In between studies, I will need a book to help pass the time. What better than a book with murder and magic!

People carry stuff in their trunk. They also carry stuff in luggage. I will need luggage to bring things to school. I will also need these straps to keep my trunk/luggage closed, and to make sure I can identify which is mine. Obvious necessity. =)

So I have this towel, which could clearly be used as a cape. It may say yoga towel by definition, but a towel is a towel. I will have to shower sometime, and no one wants to just drip dry.

Adding where I bought the sand for the curious.

Color on a Shrinky Dink Sheet, using bold lines (I like Sharpie), and colored pencil, and cut it out.

Make sure you draw it big enough, they'll shrink to 1/3 of their size in area after you bake them, and will thicken up considerably.

It's something super exciting! This is what is to my left.... I lied it's not exciting.

Mint is a pretty durable plant, and this advice is spot on.

The only thing I might add is next time you repot it, add some Soil Moist" or Water Gel Beads which will allow you to go a few more days between watering.

Come on dawg.... you gotta take advantage of the charity!

It was pretty simple. Started with aquarium plants from Petsmart, just cut off pieces and hot glued down. Also hot glued some cork and some rocks. Then I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044L8J2C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 vallejo gel texture paint, its just really thick brown paint with sand mixed in - slathered that around super thick and varied the surface, then let it dry. Reikland fleshshade, then dry brush with tan, stuck some army painter jungle and tufts down, then some watered down white glue for the moss and flocking. It sounds a lot more involved than it is, a whole squad of bases is maybe an hour of work.

I like to use kinetic sand. I have it in a container and when I'm on my computer or watching TV I just play with it absent-mindedly. Link for reference

Maybe using water beads would help retain the moisture for longer. They're usually used in flower vases, and are nearly invisible when submerged.

They most certainly do.

However, you may find the off-brand stuff more economical.

OMG. I have a funny story about why my SO doesn't want to take me anywhere anymore.

Last night was his squadron's Christmas party. There were These Things on the table. I'm getting a bit on the tipsy side from Vodka and Cran, and I grabbed one.

It was squishy and gross. I looked at my SO, and the other dude next to me and started to grin evilly

I pulled out the titanium spork from my purse (Yes I have a titanium spork in my purse, it's a spork and you never know when you're gonna need on) loaded the water bead into the spoon part.

I held the handle in one hand, and I pushed down on the tines with the fingers of my other hand, and

PEW!!!! I sent that motherfucking water bead flying and PLOP onto a pilots head.

glad he was a good sport.

My SO stopped me before I could shoot the CO, Wing Commander and Wing Chief.

NO RAGRATS.

You can use a spirograph such as this one to create this shape and many others with one continuous line.

They are a crystal polymer water substitute for plants and flowers. The beads absorb over 100 times their weight in water to form glass-like pearls that slowly release water back into their environment.

I think it’s Kinetic Sand

I buy it on Amazon because it's usually cheaper than any craft or hobby store. Unless you don't want to wait for shipping.

I've run into this with a lot of Mantic stuff as well. Usually just have to patch it up with 'green stuff' epoxy (eg, https://www.amazon.com/Green-Stuff-Kneadatite-sculpting-Painter/dp/B001AE5ZQO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483990802&sr=8-1&keywords=green+stuff).
 
GW has some liquid green stuff, too, that might be easier, but I honestly haven't tried it. The gaps are kind of annoying, but you get used to it and it's not too hard to stuff some of the putty in there.
