You can start making a habit of crafting with your kids any time of the year. We make it easy by sticking to a master list of supplies that fit into one bag. Once you fill your bag, you're ready to go! The hundreds of crafts you see on our site and in our shop use only supplies from this list.

​Today I'm offering this amazing set of craft flashcards that take you through the entire year at a discount...just $19 (priced $24 in shop).​
