boscopup Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Printer paper (while it's dirt cheap), printer paper, printer paper. Pencils, pencils, pencils, and more pencils. You wouldn't believe how often pencils get lost. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukale Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 When my oldest was in K she loved to finger paint on an old white sheet or old pillow cases. We also made lots of things using paper plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinannie Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You wouldn't believe how often pencils get lost. :glare: :iagree: We have gone through an absurd number of pencils! Also, those cheapo pencil sharpeners also disappear regularly. I bought a nice set of colored pencils as well because it is easier to color accurately. We also need multiple sets of crayons because their favorites are often the ones missing from the box! We also use TONS of art supplies. You can never have too much construction paper, glue, scissors, tissue paper, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningmom80 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 I will definitely get printer paper! My DS hates to draw, color or do anything artistic, so I'm hesitant to buy too much in the way of art supplies. But maybe if I got some new supplies, he will open up to it. Thanks for the suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baybedaul Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Speaking of pencil sharpeners... we went through a bunch of those little ones last year too. And also cleaned up a lot of little piles of pencil shavings all over the house. :glare: DH's one and only supply request this year was a pencil sharpener he could bolt to the wall. I'd forgotten how nice a properly sharpened pencil actually is to write with... I guess we never quite got the hang of those little ones.

mhaddon Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Myson hated coloring and drawing at the start of last year and about feb I couldnt keep up with je amount of paper and crayons he wasgoing through! I also buy cheap pencil boxes, sticky notes, index cards, dry erase markers, sharpies, and folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelFlores Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 We love blank notebooks here, the adults use them as much as the kids, but a notebook and some crayons or colored pencils will keep mine busy for a while. I've also found those extra erasers very useful as my 3 year old enjoys tearing off the ones the pencils come with and sometimes they aren't very good at erasing anyway. I like the pencil topper ones because we are less likely to loose them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in MS Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 We do the art in FIAR so we have poster paints, water paints, and pastels in addition to crayons, color pencils, and markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Not on my list for THIS year, but should have been on my list last year when we started K-1: - Whiteboards & markers - plural, I have one big, one small and we love them - Electric pencil sharpener... I always thought I hated pencils, but it turns out, I just hate the cheapo sharpeners; electrics start at $10 - why spend $1 or $2 ten times??? :-))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningmom80 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 I forgot erasers! Thank you! I do have paints, barely touched, I should get some posterboard too. I just bought some dry erase boards, and Costco had a big set of dry erase markers too. I'm a school supply junkie. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyoflearning Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm not sure if it counts, but one of the most useful things I bought was a laminator at Target. At first I was unsure if it was necessary, but now I can't believe how often I've already needed to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmvaughan4 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 We have: crayons (two plastic shoeboxes full, plus 10 new boxes), watercolors, colored pencils, glue, glue sticks, ruler, pencils, Sharpies, markers, scissors, printer paper Still on my list to buy: new markers (ours need updating, they won't last all year), construction paper, maybe tempera paint, erasers DS is insistent that he needs a lunchbox too! Never mind the fact that he already has one and he hardly needs a lunchbox to carry his lunch to the table. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 A small lap white board, Target Dollar Spot has one with handwriting lines on one side, blank on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacus2 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I like to have a pencil box per category of coloring item. So I need one for colored pencils, one for markers, one for crayons, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarreymere Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 A big white board and a lap one. We got a piece of shower paneling from Home Despot and had it cut in half (you could get it cut smaller) to make two giant 4 ft by 4 ft white boards. The kids love them and so do I. Stock up on crayons and pencils, they will disappear. Same with the dry erase markers and dry erase crayons. And erasers, since the ones on the pencils will not last. And a really good, old fashioned pencil sharpener, not the little ones. The electric ones always die when you are out of batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
