Tiger Shop

I love Tiger Stores, here's a few finds from a trip today! :)

This 'Pearl Clay' looks like an interesting malleable material! Great for sensory play as there are pearl beads mixed in the clay.

Some handy little watercolour paint palettes.

This activity book was €3. It will be a great addition to the sketch books I will use with the class this year.

This is a repurchase- I got great use out of this book last year, especially during September and the theme of 'Myself'.

€4

I've been meaning to buy this one for a while now. I think this will also be great to use with the sketchbooks just to inspire creativity! 

€5
