Day 9 of quarantine for us and we have made our way through lots of snacks, screen time and crafts. We will have an entire art museum by the time this is all said and done! If your craft bin is lacking, check out this list of arts and crafts supplies for kids! All items are available (currently) via Amazon. Be sure to PIN this list for later too!
Supplies for painting with kids
Brown Craft Paper: I just ordered some of this. I figure we can cover our kitchen table in it and the kids can color or paint on it!
Paint Brushes: I feel like paint brushes go to crap quickly, so if you’re in need of some new ones here’s a link!
Washable Paint: Grab some washable paint to keep on hand and put into little trays. Let them paint on the brown craft paper!
Watercolor Paints: We need some new watercolor paints, so thinking I’ll grab these.
4×4 Mini Art Canvases: These little mini canvases are perfect to have on hand for painting activities!
Paint Plates: How cute are these for little artists?!
Paint Smocks: Need something to cover up those pajamas that they’ve been in all week? Grab some of these!
