Wondering what art supplies to have on-hand? If the wide selection of craft supplies seems daunting, don’t worry! I’ve asked my fellow blogging friends and craft experts if they could only pick just THREE craft supplies for kids which ones they would choose. You may be surprised to know that many of these items are inexpensive, can be found at your local grocery store, or you may already have many of these art supplies in your home!
Currently in our house, masking tape, scissors and felt tip pens are constantly in use and scattered around the house…

School glue, food dye and high quality pastels. We go through TONS of those supplies throughout the year, I can never have enough in stock! — Rachel from Kids Activities Blog
Felt tip markers, paper, and tape. From those three supplies my kids have made cards, announcements, awards, landscapes, and birthday planners. — Rachelle from Tinkerlab®
Permanent markers, glue, and paper seem to be the go-to supplies of our household. They are used ALL the time for everything from arts and crafts to cootie catchers and paper shoes. — Jean from The Artful Parent
Watercolor colored pencils, paint brushes, watercolor paper. Perfect for art on-the-go. Not only are these supplies included in our nature packs to inspire creativity at the playground or park, but they are also used all the time at home too! –Valerie from Inner Child Fun
