So I'm going to a large weekend long event next month that is very family friendly. There is a large kids area and they need donations of arts/crafts and other stuff for the kids. I'm hoping to spend up to $100 to buy a bunch of stuff to donate. Anyone know of any places where I could buy bulk arts and crafts type stuff on the cheap? I thought about hitting up places like Michaels and such and seeing if they'd do a discount for cheap stuff but I'm sure they get asked all the time so not sure how far I'll get. I'm still going to try but not getting my hopes up.
I know Asel Art puts together discounted bundles for local college art classes, so I imagine if you talked to someone there they'd be willing to give you a bulk discount of some sort if you contact them far enough in advance.
If you can get a guest pass to Costco, that might be another good option.

Maybe some kind of outlet or closeout store?
@harrison, Thanks. I'll look them up. And I never thought about Costo. Cool idea.
@spitfire6006006, Yeah, that's kind of what I'm hoping for I just don't know of any for this type of stuff.
