My kiddos love arts & crafts, but my 5 year old REALLY loves it. It’s pretty much the first activity he chooses every morning. I love activities that he can select and clean up independently. I decided to create an art cart that my kiddos can easily access. I plan to rotate the supplies every few weeks. It's only been out a few days, but so far it's been a big success!
Here’s what I started out with in the cart:
Dry erase writing boards
Pencil crayons
Paper
Coloured paper
Cut out paper shapes
Scissors
Glue
Hole punchers
Stamps + pad
Click markers
Stickers
Some other ideas:
Play dough + toys
Colouring books
Paint + brushes
I’m also trying out a new style of markers. They’re called click markers, by Crayola. I love the idea of no marker caps rolling all over (especially with a baby crawling around in our house).
