Answer 10

some ideas:

you can check out either AC Moore or another craft store. The Dollar Store or sometimes inexpensive stores have them (ie. K Mart, WoolWorths, etc).

You can dye them with food coloring and let them dry

you can use powder tempra paint and have the kids shake them in a paper bag (lunch sack) or inside a ziplock bag. Then blow dry the remaining powder off them.

ask parents to keep their eyes peeled for them. Make it into a homework assignment ..and person who finds it gets a small gift card to a local book store..etc. sometimes parents donate the books they get back to the classroom..so it is a win win opportunity.

good luck
