1/ Melissa and Doug No Spill Paint Cups and Paint Brushes - Melissa and Doug is one of my favorite brands for kids. Everything is so well made and these no spill paint cups and brushes are terrific! I swear, no matter how many times they tip over, they don't spill! The paint brushes fit perfectly inside the cup and color coordinate so that she isn't mixing paint colors all the time.
2/ IKEA PRICKAR Bib - Technically, I think this is supposed to be used as a feeding bib, but we use it as an art smock. I love that it's made of waterproof material and has long sleeves to protect her clothes from getting messy during art activities.
3/ Dollar Tree Dough - AKA imitation Playdoh. Don't get me wrong, I love Playdoh, I think it's fun, but the quality of it (it doesn't keep very long) and the smell really got to me after awhile. Then I found Dough at my local Dollar Tree! In my opinion, Dough keeps longer, doesn't smell (as bad) and is half the price! I highly recommend it!
4/ Craft Pom Poms - We use pom poms in a lot of our art activities. Rowen loves to glue them to paper, sort them into cups, and use them in sensory play. Definitely a staple item in our art bin!
5/ Pipe Cleaners - Another staple item! It's amazing how many craft activities you can find online that use pipe cleaners! Rowen's favorite way to use them is to string them with beads!
6/ Melissa and Doug Bead Bundle - Speaking of beads, the beads by Melissa and Doug are wonderful! Rowen is actually getting this particular set as a "big sister" gift when the baby is born. I love that the beads are big enough for her little hands to use (hello fine motor skills), and help serve as a quiet activity when I need a little bit of a break!
7/ Melissa and Doug Animal Stamp Set - We were gifted this set of stamps at Christmas and Rowen is quite fond of it! She loves to use the ink pad and give herself stamps as well as stamp on every coloring book she owns!
