I'm in desperate need of Realia materials, preferably plastic, as in plastic fruits/vegies, animals and bugs for use in my classes.

Anybody have any places you go for these items, besides Toys-R-Us?

I would think with 99% of plastic toys coming out of China, I could find an abundance here.

Thanks for your help

Fuk Wing Street, Sham Shui Po, is nothing but toy shops. If you can get it at all, it'll be there.

Visit the Professional Teacher's Union Center.

There is a large shop filled with stationary, electrical goods, and of course teaching aids.


In order to be able to purchase goods there you will need to register, approximately $80.


If I recal correctly they have 2 branches, 1 in Mong Kok and the other in Causeway Bay.

BTW with all the recent dangers raised over the safety of chinese manufactured toys, it might be prudent to purchase from Toy's R Us.

Thanks for your input.
I found lots of goodies at neighboring streets to that open market you referred me to.
At the open market itself, you can get 11 stickers for $10.
Even bought some SPONGEBOB for myself! Wink

Wow. Had no idea that place existed.
I shall look it up. I'm usually in Mong Kok every Tuesday.
Cheers.

Fa Yuen street in MongKok has plastic fruit for sale at a couple of the stores. Lam Fai toys on the corner of Fai Yuen and Bute street is also a good place to go for goodies.
