The Best Amazon Craft Supplies For Kids

We have had these markers for years and they still work!! We really can't believe how long they've lasted.

Quick tip: If you don't use these regularly the tips can dry out and it's hard to "restart" them. To speed up the process, quickly dip the tip in some water, then dry them off by dabbing them a few times on some scrap paper.

Whenever young kids are cutting paper, we like to use kid-safe scissors with blunt tips like these ones. These ones cut well and are more comfortable on the hands.

We actually use an older version of this printer (that's how long it's lasted!) and love it. Since it's a laser printer, we can print tons of stuff (like our worksheets and templates) without having to replace the toner. If you're printing in color, it's also clear and crisp - which is why we initially purchased it.

We've bought pom poms in our local craft store but they're not nearly as high quality as these ones! These pom poms are tight knight and very colorful!

These glue dots are our favorite! They're great for crafting because they're strong enough to hold things like popsicle sticks together. Make sure you grab the "permanent" ones.

We do lots of popsicle stick crafts on our blog. We use these ones because they're inexpensive and ship fast.

We feel comfortable using our old toilet paper rolls for our crafting, but if you're making them in a classroom or daycare setting, these fresh cardboard tubes are a great option!

Whenever we do anything with watercolors, we always use these liquid watercolors. They're very bright and vivid!

Be aware since they're liquid they can temporarily stain skin and may stain surfaces. We just use an art drop cloth (the one listed right below this) to avoid any big messes.

We bough this one a long time ago and have used it countless times when we do messy projects. It's easy to clean up just by wiping down. We've used if for slime, art, play dough and more!

If you don't like the idea of liquid watercolors, these ones are awesome! They're vibrant and great for mixing! They’re one of our current favorites for paint. 

Again, this is the new version of the laminator I use. Mine is so ancient that I want to get a new one, but it just won't die! These Scotch laminators are great for preserving kids crafts or laminating worksheets to use with dry erase markers.

We love Crayola! Nearly every marker and crayon we have is Crayola, but we are constantly choosing these super tip markers because there are so many color choices.

You might think all glue sticks are the same, but I'm here to tell you that's not true!

After using lots of different types, we always buy these ones now. They're way stronger than their regular glue sticks and help your kids' projects last and last!

Whenever we color pictures of kids, we always grab this set. We love that there is such a wide variety of skin colors for kids to choose from!

Nearly all of our crafts are paper crafts so we go through a lot of it! When we want a very bright and vibrant paper, this is always our top choice.

For the standard colors of cardstock, this is what we prefer. It's thick and evenly colored for vibrant crafting!

This is the white cardstock we print out all of our templates on, especially when we color them in (like for our headband crafts). It's a thick paper that is great for use with markers and crayons.

When we paint our paper plate crafts, we like to use this brand because it's inexpensive and doesn't harden in the bottle if you don't use all of it right away.

Googly eyes are a standard for kids crafts, right? Even if you have nothing planned and you just let kids stick eyes onto paper, they still love i

Unlike most of the things I purchase, I opt for the generic Amazon Basics brand for laminating sheets. I've seen no difference in quality and it's much more economical!
