What Craft Supplies You’ll Need
And , just like every craft on this site and in our shop, the supplies that you need are part of the master list of items that we stick to for every creative project. It’s just 27 basic craft supplies that fit into one bag. You problably already have most of them in your home. It’s like having a capsule wardrobe, but for your kids’ crafts.
You won’t find things like egg cartons or toilet paper tubes on the list because they just take up way too much space to store easily and carry with you in a bag. And you also won’t find glitter…I just can’t do it. It’s beautiful, but it never comes out of the carpet…and I mean never. (You’re welcome.)

Combine Reading and Crafting
The best way that I can think to enhance the crafting experience is to combine it with reading a good book. Here are some of our favorite space themed books for kids.
