10 Supplies Every Craft Box Demands

Any mamma with a budding Picasso knows that the term "washable" is used loosely on most store-bought markers, but Crayola's Ultra-Clean Washable Markers ($7) are meant to wash off in just one wash using only cold water.

Your tot is gonna flip for the Mudpuppy Monsters Flip and Draw Book ($12). Each one allows kids to color and flip between the different monsters, or they can create their own creatures on the blank sheets.

Kids still get a kick out of good old-fashioned popsicle sticks — and the imaginative options are endless with this popsicle stick assortment ($13).

Environmentally minded moms may want to make their own glue, others (like me) would rather have it made already. For the latter, Eco-Glue ($8, originally $9) is good (and safe) enough to eat, which is good because kids eat glue.

A supply of superfun and silly googly eyes like this 100 Pack of Peel 'n' Stick Wiggle Eyes ($10) are a craft box must. A word to the wise: supervise children with these — they fit perfectly up a 4-year-old's nose.

Next time you hit up Ikea, stock up on these Mala Drawing Paper Rolls ($5). For the amount of paper you get (nearly 100 feet), the price is stellar. Roll it out on a table to make clean-up a breeze — don't forget to save your tot's art to use later as homemade wrapping paper.
