Scroungers' Center for Reusable Art Parts (SCRAP)
801 Toland Street
San Francisco, CA 94124
(415) 647-1746
map | website | comment

For your grandchildren who are more interested in the box a toy came in than in the toy itself,  this is the place for them. It's a treasure trove of art materials for dedicated scroungers and curious kids alike. The founders of SCRAP converted an old warehouse into a holding pen for fabric, glass, wood, plastic, cardboard, tile, and paper for art supplies. It's fun to just walk around here with kids, and something always ends up catching their eye. This is a place with a hidden lesson about ecology also, but they don't beat you (or your grandchildren) over the head with it.

Info: Varies

Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 5pm

Age: Tdlr./Pre-Schl. (1-5), Elementary (5-9), Tween (9-12), Teen (12+)
