| Tins
|
We paint empty tin cans and string them together to a make a noise as the dog crashes through the rubbish bins in "Charmaine's Bonfire Adventure". We need a variety of shapes and sizes including rectangular sardine tins, small fish tins and medium vegetable tins. We currently have enough of the larger 400g tins so we don't need any more for the time being. The tins should not have a sharp edge where they have been opened and they should be thoroughly cleaned. Ring pull tins leave a ridge so please use a tin opener even if the tin has a ring pull. |
| TV Magazines
|
We roll up old magazines to bang on the card and make a noise in "The Haircut". We need old magazines similar to most of the TV guides (but not Radio Times as it's too thick). They should not have a spine as that prevents them being easily rolled up. |
| Keys
|
We reuse old keys in our story "The Match". We need old "yale" or "chubb" type keys - even old blanks if you have them. |
| Aerosol tops
|
We reuse old aerosol tops in our story "The Bookseller" - they make the hooves of a donkey. We need the tops in matching pairs, of a size roughly 50mm in diameter and 40-50mm tall, and in any colour but not see through. |
| Motorbike Magazines
|
We put pages from motorbike magazines into pprotective wallets to make a mini magazine for the barber's waiting room in "The Haircut". We need all old motorbike magazines. |
| Foam
|
We are in need of foam off-cuts which we use for padding the moose's head in "Snapped" and for a pad in "Hook, Line and Sinker". |
