Gel pens!    Colored pencils!    Watercolor pencils (available 
through art supply stores and catalogs)!

Buttons?  Larger-size beads?  Plastic "jewels"?  We'd love 'em!

We can use 6-8 oz.-size plastic yogurt cartons WITH LIDS.  The ones 
we find useful are the cartons that are bigger at the top than the 
bottom, and have snap-on lids (not the Yoplait-type cartons that are 
smaller at the top).

We would love to receive half-pint Milk Chug or McDonald's Milk Jug 
containers.  If you buy Chugs at the grocery story, or if you eat at 
McDonald's, send the milk containers our way.  Half-pint size only, 
please.

We stock our crafts tub with toilet paper tubes, egg cartons, and 
other household "junk" items that kids can build with.  However, 
please send small items only, and send a few at a time.  We love to 
have building items around, but we don't have storage for long gift-
wrap tubes, dozens of egg cartons, etc.
