Crafts are fun for all ages

Working with crafting supplies to produce unique creations is an enjoyable activity for kids of all ages and adults. Starting with the basics, children can make their own puppets, houses, and other structures from ice pop sticks, and more. Adults can move on to more challenging projects such as putting together a scrapbook or making their own personalized gift boxes.

Craft items for the classroom

Giving kids a creative outlet at school is made easy by stocking classrooms with a variety of art supplies and craft supplies, such as:

• Paint brushes
• Construction paper
• Safety scissors
• Stamps and stencils
• Pencils and crayons
• School glue

Other popular supplies and crafting accessories include pipe cleaners to twist into many shapes and glitter for adding shimmer and googly eyes for bringing silly characters to life. Kids may also enjoy working with clay and creating statues, flower pots, and many other decorative as well as functional items like bowls and beads.

Choose from separate crafting supplies or kits

While many products come in individual packages, others come in crafting kits to create specific items. Jewelry making sets include strings and beads for creating bracelets and necklaces while other craft kits and accessories may include the materials for sewing a purse or painting a decorative statue.

Setting up an organized space

Crafting projects and related materials take up a lot of space so organization and craft storage units are essential. A crafting table creates a dedicated work space that stays free of clutter from other items. There are also many storage options such as plastic bins with individual compartments for different materials, rolling sets of drawers, and folders for artwork and paper crafting supplies. These keep a work space tidy and make sure crafters can easily find their needed materials.
