*My favorite place for finding bucket fillings are the Dollar Bins at Michael’s Craft store. They always have a great selection of several products that go together for a theme. They usually have a plentiful supply and are very inexpensive. 5-6 items usually fill up the bucket keeping the cost of the entire project at a minimum. Other place to find inexpensive bucket fillings are: the grocery store candy isle, the Dollar Store, Target Dollar Bins and Walmart.
