With children back out to school in just two weeks, it’s important to ensure that they’re heading back out armed with all their school essentials.

Depending on your child’s year group creative projects are to be expected.

Here are a few arts and crafts items you should always have on hand, especially for those last-minute projects:

Coloured pencils – These are needed for several school activities so it’s a good idea to keep a box on hand. A pack of 24 is excellent for beginners. Student pencils as opposed to artist-grade professional pencils have harder cores. The pencils are durable and easy to control.

Drawing/shading pencils – 2B and 3B shading pencils are soft granite pencils for art and sketching. When considering pencils, “B” stands for black and the number indicates how hard or soft the pencil is.

Crayons – Colouring is an integral part of most creative work throughout most of children’s school years. Also used for writing and drawing, crayons come in an array of primary and secondary colours so children have lots of options when crafting.  

Poster paints and brushes – Poster paints are a staple in school projects. They’re ideal for use on poster paper, drawing paper and construction paper. Most poster paints come with a paintbrush, but it’s always a good idea to have a few backup brushes.

Markers – Drawing markers are required for many school projects so it’s always best to stock a pack with assorted colours. Once they’re not permanent markers, any messes can be easily cleaned up using soap and water.

Glue – Glue sticks or liquid glue would be required, depending on the assignment. For most simple crafts and paper and bristol board projects, glue sticks ensure quick and easy application and bonding, all while keeping fingers clean. Liquid school glue is ideal for arts and crafts involving wood, fabric and even ceramic. Both are safe, washable and non-toxic for children.

Popsicle sticks – Craft sticks can come in packs of different sizes and lengths; both plain and coloured. The sticks can be used for a variety of crafts including photo frames, bookmarks and ornaments.

Kite paper – Not to be confused with tissue paper for gift-wrapping, kite paper, which is heavier, is used in craft projects. It’s available in a range of bold colours and can be bought singly or in packs.

Crepe paper – It’s more durable than other paper types and with its stretchy and wrinkled texture, is popular in crafts. They’re a great choice for paper flowers and decorations.

Construction paper – Construction paper is slightly rough and is excellent for making posters and collages, durable enough to weave into baskets, placemats, decorations and ornaments and a variety of activities. They come bound or in packs.

Bristol board – It’s always great to keep a few sheets of these handy for projects. They’re great for illustrative purposes when it comes to assignments that include presentations. The sheets come in standard pastel colours, bright colours, fluorescent and even metallic colours so your children can get creative.

Plasticine – Plasticine is used as a modelling medium for children’s crafts. It’s a non-drying clay so it can be reused several times.

Scissors – No back to school craft kit is complete without tools. Scissors are needed for cutting paper for various activities. Children’s craft scissors have blunt ends to prevent accidents.

Back to school shopping can be hassle but with Charran’s, you can order all these arts and crafts items, books, stationery and school supplies through their website, and pay for your items on delivery.
