Arts and Crafts Supplies

It's easy to get those little ones busy with their creative juices if you have the right tools and supplies on hand.

We have a list of arts and crafts supplies that you can easily find at your local craft store, office supply, discount store, dollar store, even from yard sales.

When you see these items on sale be sure to pick them up and store them in clear plastic bins or boxes.  You can easily sort the items into the clear bins or totes, tape a tag on the side to remind you whats inside, then store them in your closet or on your craft shelves.

Then, when that little one is itching to create something, you'll both be ready.

Don't feel like you have to have everything on our list. Simply pick up the items that work best in your craft space and with your little one.
