Craft Supply
Checklist for Kid's Crafts
07/28/07
by: Pam Lester
I often get asked, "What types of craft supplies do I need to
keep on hand for kids crafts?"
So, I've come up with a list of basic crafting supplies that
will keep your kids creative and crafting up a storm!
It's a good idea to keep all of your crafting supplies organized
and labeled so they are easy to find. I suggest three sizes of
containers: plastic shoe boxes, empty baby wipe containers, and baby
food jars. I also recommend a file folder to organize papers and
cardstock. These storage containers will help sort and organize most
craft supplies. There are also may commercial storage cabinets and
units that will also work well!
"Now that I have all the supplies, what do I do with them?",
Well - visit
http://www.theideabox.com and get TONS of free craft and activity
ideas to make with your children. Have FuN!
