Throughout the years, I’ve been asked by my readers, “What are your favorite go-to materials when it comes to kid crafts?”
I always struggle with answering this but not anymore. Today I’m putting it all together in this “Favorite Craft Supplies For Kids” resource post!
In all reality I’m a VERY simple girl when it comes to the craft tutorials I share.
If you have been a long time follower of mine, I don’t like fancy tools or even elaborate materials. When it comes to the ideas I put out there, the most important factor to me is that it involves inexpensive and easy to find supplies. I don’t want my readers running around, feeling stressed or spending tons of money. The whole point of crafting with kids, is to bring joy into your home. Not chaos.
You will often find me shopping at Dollar Tree, Target and even Walmart for my supplies. Michaels is another favorite of mine but honestly, a basic grocery store is a great starting point as well. After-all – you are already shopping for your family there. Why not get your craft supplies at the same time?
When I can’t pin-point a particular item at any of these locations, I will always suggest Amazon and direct link to the item in my tutorial supply list. This way you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home. SCORE!
Anyways, back to the real reason why you landed on today’s post.
Below you will find SEVERAL of our “tried and true” favorite materials for kids crafts. I’ve spent a lot of my time on this particular post and I really do hope it helps you out. Everything is linked up with our Amazon links to help you order them right away. From here, you can order them yourself OR you can even make a wish list for your child, so someone you know can help them build up that PERFECT craft stash. Remember – this is an easy way to get Christmas shopping done with a few clicks!
Several of these craft supplies are very basic and any brand, at any store, will typically work. But some of these in the list, I do have “specifics” that “I” prefer. It’s just recommendations from years of experience. Please feel free to ignore if need be! :-)
And one more note before I dive into the fun. I mentioned above that there are Amazon links in this post. These are my personal affiliate links to Amazon, where I can earn a small commission off of anything you buy on this list. The prices are no different or higher than normal but you could be supporting our website in a BIG way because I referred you! Like I said, I typically purchase my supplies at local stores like Walmart, Target or Dollar Tree BUT if you are an Amazon lover or just like ordering online for convenience, clicking the links will make it easy for you, while supporting my business as well!
Now on to my list of MY FAVORITE supplies for a great kid craft stash! Again, this is my recommended list and what I personally love to keep on hand & what you might find in our tutorials. Several of these materials can be skipped if you like and/or substituted for something else you have on hand. Please take this list as a recommendation not “do as I say” type list. Also – the links to Amazon are to similar products that I use. I tried to match/link to things, as best as I could :-)
Happy shopping & crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
