Budget101 Price BreakdownApprox Cost: Not calculated Not calculated because the source does not provide package sizes or quantities for each supply. Choose age-appropriate scissors and supervise younger children. Store glue bottles upright when possible and wipe the nozzle clean before closing to reduce clogs and leaks. Small loose items such as buttons, pom-poms, and wobbly eyes need extra caution around very young children.
