Replacing Consumable Materials:
As you know, several materials in
the Build Up! and On Site! Tool Kits are consumable and
may need to be replaced over time. While these materials
may be purchased at your local craft store or hobby shop,
you may also order them directly from Scholastic, Inc. http://www.agc.org/educationtraining/agc_build_up_teaching_consumables.asp
Additional Sources…
This non-profit community resource center
is filled with an ever-changing inventory of unique materials
for creative re-use by crafters, artists, teachers, and
children.
