Wonderscope Goes Green with the Repurpose, iMagine Create (RMC)
Looking for materials to use for crafts at home, school, church or other events? The RMC is the place for you! We have low-cost, educational materials and craft supplies (such as yarn, paper, magnets, ribbon, stickers envelopes and more) for all your unique projects. We also stock unusual items that can be used in a variety of ways. Need project ideas? We will be happy to help you create a unique craft using our materials! All items are generously donated by area companies as well as the community. So stop by often to check out our newest supplies!
Originally located at the Children's Museum of Kansas City in KCK as the Recycled Materials Center, the RMC has a new look and name. But, the purpose still remains the same: to offer a place where materials can be repurposed instead of going in landfills, and to offer low-cost, unique, project materials for teachers, daycare providers, youth group leaders and parents. All proceeds from RMC sales help finance exhibits and programs at the museum.
