    Default Help me pick awesome art supplies for my kids' Easter baskets!

    Recommend your quality art supplies!

    I have kids ages 3, 5, 9 and 13. I feel like we have the basics at home. Scissors, glue, crayons, markers, some cheap colored pencils.

    What would you add?

    Thanks!

    That's a totally different direction than I was thinking but I do like this suggestion. I think certain of my kids would enjoy having a "station" that was more crafty than artsy in nature, if that makes sense. It also sounds a bit affordable!

    We love these "paint dobbers" -- the fun of painting but less mess -- I feel like they're kind of expensive but I try to buy when they're on sale or using a good % off coupon at Michaels: https://www.amazon.com/Do-Dot-Art-Wa...A2XQ4NM7699HNW

    Oh, and my DD recently got some cheap gel pens and she's been loving them.
