KIDS love their crafts – and parents love their crafty prices.
Now mums and dads can combine the two through a little-known network of shops to keep their little ones supplied with paper, foil and fabrics.
These “scrap stores” take unwanted material from local businesses and sell them on for bargain prices.
Find shops at reusefuluk. org/scrapstores-directory and follow these ideas on how to entertain the kids . . .
PICTURE PERFECT: Pick up a mixed bag of materials from £1.50 and ask your children to help sort them into piles of different colours.
