Ideas & Inspiration

Looking for Ideas and Inspiration for working with your groups but have limited time and budgets? Then look no further.... we at Play Resource have created a number of options for you:

Ideas Gallery
Next time you are at Play Resource pay a visit to the Ideas Gallery - upstairs on the balcony - all the ideas on display are created by artists and Play Resource staff, some with little or no arts training, using a range of shop and scrap materials. If you would like to know how something was created then just ask a member of staff!

Craft Sheets & Magazine Library
We have created a range craft sheets to illustrate simple ideas using shop and waste materials or seasonal ideas that are tailored to suit different age ranges. The full selection is available in the Ideas Gallery at Play Resource.
