Creating sets for kids without blowing your budget

In the second session I went to I learned a ton of stuff about creating cool sets without using a ton of money. I can't wait to be in a church someday and use my gifts in designing children's areas. Now I also have a greater perspective on how to create them and what tools to use. Instead of listing them all here I'm just gonna post the resources that Dan Huffman gave us in his session.
