Wife is a scouter and wants to get approximately 50 ping pong balls for
Halloween. I don't think they have to bounce. Any ideas? They are 50
pence each in the shops.

Looks good :-)

Just found out that they are for the children to make eye balls out of.
So they only have to be round and not have to bounce.

Now that was not helpful. I could have done that myself and found
cheaper ones. I am talking Scouts here and they don't have a lot of cash
to spend. They are more expensive that the ones we saw today.

Our local authority runs a 'resources centre' that sells card, paper,
plastic scissors and all sorts of odd materials for schools and playgroups
(though they'll sell to anyone). You can't guarantee them having what you
are looking for, but you might strike lucky. You could also try craft shops
as they sell polystyrene balls in various suzes.

Wife works for the local council and she drew a blank with that source.
The arts and craft shops have shrunk down to one in this area (Preston,
Lancs.) so no joy there either.

She has eventually found some at a cheap price, so all is well now.

Many thanks for your replies all.

Polystyrene "packing peanuts" any good?
If so probably many local shops would be glad to dispose of them in
your direction.
