Simple List of Supplies we Like to Have on Hand

Craft Supplies | Art Supplies | Card and Paper | Toys We Love

We love to craft and get creative, but that doesn’t mean we have a ton of craft supplies. Most of our craft supplies fit into a plastic container and an Ikea Raskog utility cart. I wanted to share some of the craft supplies we like to have on hand and find the most useful.

Craft Supplies:

• Popsicle sticks, pom poms, google eyes, pipe cleaners, buttons, sequins We like to incorporate different textures and materials.

• Beads

• String

• Origami paper - not for origami, but these small colorful pieces are easier to use for cutting and sticking projects.

• Printed Origami Paper - Again not using it for origami. It comes in so many beautiful prints and is a fraction of the price compared to craft paper. We love to use patterns in our crafts. We buy a lot of ours from Diaso, but these ones are beautiful.

• Felt (we like working with different textures so love having felt)

• Dot Stickers

• Star Foam Stickers

• Jewel Stickers Not necessary but fun to have for a rainy day

Art Supplies:

• Twistable Crayons

• Colored Pencils

• Dot Markers

• Paint Brushes

• Fine Tip Markers

• Water Color Paints

• Washable Tempera Paint

• Paint Tray

Card & Paper

• Colored construction paper

• White construction paper

• Colored cardstock

• White Cardstock

Puzzles | Other Toys | Games

In general we try to minimize the number of toys we have in our home. I’ve found that my kids usually gravitate to the same few toys or are equally happy playing with a cardboard box. The toys we do get are usually open ended, spark creativity and can be enjoyed in many different ways by multiple age groups. The toys listed below are just our recommendations based on what we enjoy in our home and are not sponsored in any way. For reference my children are 2.5 and 5.

Puzzles

I have arranged this somewhat by age.

• First Shapes Puzzle

• Classic Peg Puzzles

• Pattern Blocks

• Arabic Alphabet Sound Puzzle

• Giant Fire Truck Floor Puzzle

• Safari Social Floor Puzzle

• Reusable Sticker Books

• Seek and Find Sticker Book

Other Toys

• Magformers - We’ve added multiple sets over the years but this is a good starter set

• Brain Flakes - Younger children can even use these for color sorting or slot dropping or to create patterns

• Wooden Blocks

• Knex

• Marble Run

• Mega Bloks

• Lego Duplo

• Lego Classic

Games

• Hiss

• Bingo - We have a slightly different one but the kids love playing bingo

• Names of Allah - Memory Matching Game (I only have the second one but they are great)

• Bananagrams
