Help with Sunday school prizes

[Texmel]

Does anyone know great cheap places to get little prizes for Sunday school? I'm preparing the next unit for our (small!) church's children's SS and need some very cheap but fun prizes. I looked at Oriental Trading but didn't find a variety of things in one bag.....

Do you have a Big Lots? they always have lots of inexpensive stuff.

Dollar Tree would be great for what you need. Good luck!

As suggested,both Big Lots and the Dollar Tree are excellent stores for small treasures:D

I looked on Oriental trading and they have a medium religious assortment of 100 pieces for $9.99 and they have other more expensive assortments as well. I used the search term "religious assortment" and they came up. I'm not sure how much shipping is though.

I used to work at Factory Card Outlet and they had a small religious section for baptism, etc. In it they had small novelties, such as bracelets and erasers. I am not positive if they still carry this, but if you are near one you may want to check it out.

Good luck!

Thanks so much, gals, great ideas! I didn't try "religious" when I was checking Oriental!

Locally we have a "Baptist Book Store" that sells religious novelties. If you have one of these or another christian bookstore you might want to check that out.

Don't have that but we do have Mardel.....
