What to bring

Now, I'd like to list a few things I have NOT found in our country that might add a little fun to your projects and memories.
Listed below are items that I have not found here, but have found right next door in Thailand. So, you might like to bring these things with you, but just wanted to include the disclaimer that you might be able to find these in your country (or right next door, if you make visa runs like we do).
-pipe cleaners
-felt squares
-small jingle bells
-pom poms
-hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
-googly eyes
-wider variety of ribbon, including grosgrain
-varieties of yarn
-sheets of plastic covering (in a variety of designs) that we use to cover the table for projects (I have found this in our country, but quality is better and price is still cheap over in Thailand)
-styrofoam balls of many sizes
-sidewalk chalk
NOTE...these are all items from local stores/markets, not imported items in large department stores. So, all of this is basically affordable.

At the Office supply stores (bigger chains) in Thailand:
-eyelet machine (like a big hole-punch, but punches in eyelets for you)
-brads (some call these "paper fasteners")

Things you might like to bring from America:
-non-toxic kids' paint
-non-toxic finger paint
-washable markers
-colored dry-erase markers
-fun shaped paintbrushes and foam brushes
-a variety of food coloring
-seasonal items (Things like decor or special craft projects for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Fourth of July, and St. Patrick's Day)
-foam stickers
-foam products like bookmarks or picture frames you can decorate
-Religious themed stickers
-glitter glue ( I do find glitter, but working with it is VERY messy...having glitter glue is nice!)
-stamp pads in fun colors (Hobby Lobby puts kid safe stamp pads on sale every so often)
-stamps (you can sometimes have these made in local markets)
-Elmer's glue
-coloring books with favorite characters (like VeggieTales or religious themes)
-window clings (these are cheap, can be found at the Dollar Tree, and make instant, fun decorations for holidays)
-Window Markers by Crayola...our girls have had SO MUCH fun with these
-stock up on CDs for kids with religious songs
-fun puppets (Check the dollar store and Dollar General, also Oriental Trading)

NOTE: a few of these items, like the non-toxic kids' paint, might be available in large department stores, but prices are so inflated that I say it's better to bring them from America if you do have the opportunity.
