Art Supplies

I get a lot of questions about the art supplies we use and what I would recommend to purchase. We have been building up our collection of art and craft supplies for years! We store ours in clear plastic bins, repurposed mason jars and an art cart. I try to make sure that most of the supplies are accessible for the kids, so that they feel inspired to create art on a daily basis. I recommend starting with the basics and slowly adding to your own collection. Before long, you will also have an exciting supply of materials (and possibly your very own art cart)!
