At Sparc, some of the best creative materials aren't bought brand new.

They're discovered.

We love giving interesting materials a second life and finding new possibilities in things that might otherwise be forgotten. Cardboard boxes become castles. Bottle tops become mosaics. Paper scraps become artworks. Tiny treasures become the spark for a whole new idea.

We're always on the lookout for clean, safe and creative materials that children can explore, invent and create with.

Some of the things we love collecting include:

• Cardboard tubes and boxes

• Buttons, beads and loose parts

• Fabric offcuts, ribbon and yarn

• Postcards, maps and old calendars

• Magazines and collage materials

• Wrapping paper and gift tags

• Stickers, stamps and paper ephemera

• Natural treasures and interesting collections

• Art and craft supplies in good condition

• Small containers, trays and organisers

Because we're a small creative space, we can't always accept every donation.

If you have materials you'd like to pass on, please get in touch first with a brief description of what you have available.

Every donation helps create new opportunities for children to imagine, experiment and make something completely their own.

Thank you for helping us make space for creativity. ✨
