Craft Supplies To Keep On HandBecause we do lots of arts and craft activities, we have our finished products all over the house, and our guests always ask where we made them. When they hear that we made it home, they are usually surprised, and ask where they can get ideas. I think that the best help for doing craft activities is having lots of good supplies on hand, and a little creativity. Here are some supplies I like to keep on hand, in no particular order. Of course, some of these items cannot be used by very young children because of choking hazards, so use your discretion: Crayons Markers (washable) Tempura paints (washable) Glitter tubes Glitter glue Spangles and sequins Collage boards (I like the ones from Lakeshore) Pom-poms Foam pieces – they come in shapes, flowers, letters, etc, and are either self-adhesive or you can use tacky glue Buttons – large and colorful ones Pipe cleaners – in all colors Stamps and stamp pads in washable ink Tissue paper – in all colors Googly eyes Elmer’s glue Tacky glue – use with foam and collage materials so things will stick Glue sticks – for paper crafts Magnets – for small crafts and pictures so they can be hung in the kitchen Decorative scissors Hole puncher Ribbons Yarn Stickers Construction paper – heavy-duty Scrapbook or “memory” paper Cardboard - from cereal boxes or anything that comes from a warehouse store Cotton balls Feathers – can be a little messy You will be surprised at how your creativity will increase with good supplies on hand. For storage, I like to use plastic takeout containers for the smaller items. You can find all these things at your local crafts store. Have fun! Reviews Eileen Z. Great ideas. ;)
