Hi!!
So, I am having my son's birthday party at a park and wanted to cover the tables with thick white paper and throw some crayons downs for everyone to color on it. I can't for the life of me find a big huge roll of white paper. Anyone know where I can purchase some?

What can I do next?

I would try a teacher store. They have large rolls of heavy paper used to cover bulletin boards. That may work!!!
I live in Long Beach and the only stores I know of are over here (located on the corner of Bellflower Blvd & Del Amo Blvd). Good luck!!!!

Try Michael's in Torrance. It should be located by the gift wrapping section. Hope this helps! :)

I actually just saw a huge roll of butcher paper at Costco the other day. I don't know how wide it is, but I think it was wide enough to cover a table. It was in the paper goods section, with plates, napkins, etc. Looks like something they regularly carry. Worth a look.

the white paper has wax on it and is hard to color on, try the brown paper you can buy at any place I bought some at walmart for about 4 bucks a big roll, plus being it was light brown it does not smear, white paper for some reasons smear.
Great idea but the white paper is very expensive and hard to color on.

You can get butcher paper at a teacher supply story. There is a store off of Hawthorne between Lomita and PCH. It is next to California Pizza Kitchen. I hope that helps.

This website: Discount School Supply sells huge rolls of butcher paper. (I put the link below but you'll have to paste it together into one link to make it work). Just Google "butcher paper" if needed.
