Got today and tomorrow off work to spend with Minipeelers. Also I have a parcel to collect ๐Ÿ˜ƒI think my balaclava/hood things have arrived (I love those things; I wear them in scarf/snood mode during the day to keep my neck warm and make my apron sit correctly, and pull up the hood if it's extra cold or raining. It's been a winter game changer for me). What to do? I know they want to go to Melbourne Central on one day and an art supply shop at some point. Art supply shops are expensive tho, and I usually wing it with $2 shops where I can get small canvasses and acrylic paints for a fraction of the price.

DAISO for art supplies cannot be beat. There is a Daiso at the Queen Vic Centre and one downstairs next to the Telstra office at the Bourke St/Swanston mall intersection

There is, dang it I could've wandered in for a look last week. I hit the wall after a few hours there and just herded the kids out as quickly as was practicable lol.
