Looking to support your child’s creativity outside the classroom? Here are some wonderful (and mostly free!) resources, tools, and activities to keep the imagination growing at home. If you need additional support, please feel free to reach out!
Materials to Keep at Home
A small at-home art kit doesn’t need to be expensive! You may find supplies from your local Dollar Store all the way to Michaels.
If you're an Amazon shopper, I've linked some supplies brands that kids love in the classroom!

🖍 Crayons, markers, or colored pencils, oil pastels, paint sticks
