A few things I always keep on hand and easily accessible to the kiddos:
- Crayons-thousands of colors
- Washable markers (Crayola is our favorite brand, but Target's Up & Up brand is a close second is can be cheaper)
- Colored pencils
- Plain white paper of all sizes (8x10 and 11x17 are the popular sizes here)
- Construction paper
- Poster board
- Tape
- Ribbon/yarn (we rarely use this, but it's always nice to have some on hand for when we do need it for our projects)
