Cheaper arts and craft supplies that I have found.
The Rogers
At my last daycare networking meeting, the girl throwing the network had
about 20 catalogs from a place called Discount School Supply. Some of the
art supplies in it are dirt cheap along with a TON of other daycare related
items. I found a bunch of items in there that I had just bought at
Michael's and wanted to kick myself. I would have saved half of what I
spent there.
I did order some foam blocks, and some little odds and ends last week. The
order came in two days and I am pleased with the quality.
They have a website, it is www.earlychildhood.com
Hope it helps some of you as it did me.

I'll add my two cents in about this company, also
known as Reprint -- they are, without a doubt, *the*
cheapest company around when it comes to classroom art
supplies. Even their prices for day care supplies and
equipment are really low. When I worked in day care,
my dollar went a LOT farther when I purchased the
center's art supplies through this company.

This company is great! The paints were really cheap, and so were the
markers. The biggest problem is the catalog is so thick, it's real tempting
to order a whole bunch of stuff! They had about 5 different kinds of
markers to chose from, and two *pages* of scissors!
