Daiso is one of those places that you will never come out with just what you came to the store for.
If you have never been to Daiso, it's an asian version of the dollar store but cuter and much more expensive at $1.50.
But here you will find lots of stuff for art projects.
Drawing pads and colored paper in stores like Staples or even Wal-mart with be more than $1.50 each for more than 10 pages. 
With Daiso, 44 pages of colored paper which can be folded to look like a card and decorated with stickers are cheap. Also is a 100 page drawing pad for those times Cyrille just wants to doodle on blank paper.
I also bought different designs of craft punch we can use to decorate or just to build motor skills on a construction paper to punch. Its comes in cute colors and different craft shapes.
Daiso is great for those times, when we need projects to keep the little ones busy.

Who says you can only find dollar haul from the dollar store?
I enrolled Cyrille with the Kid's program at Michael's. For $2.00 a class, she gets to make art projects while I go around the store to shop. And these are my purchases for today.
For a dollar each, I got her a bunch of art projects to keep her busy over the summer.
Ceramic Butterfly with paint included. I have photographed the finished project she worked on today. It comes with a magnet in the back to showcase her work on the fridge. And that makes her proud.
I got 3 different wooden coloring character with markers already included in the package from Creatology. They come in different designs like animals and characters.
Kids always love stickers. But when they are expensive, I feel bad when it gets wasted. For a dollar, this jungle out there sticker book comes with 278 stickers for any kind of projects.
Whether its a dollar store or any other kind of store, I am always on the lookout for dollar or less kids stuff that is a great buy.
