Get Ready for School!

Its almost time to start planning for school in the fall. In addition to the regular back-to-school supplies that your child will need for school, consider creating a stash of extra supplies especially for special projects, reports and extra-credit assignments. Here's a list to get you started:

  • Old Magazines-Great for making collages
  • Poster Board
  • Mod-Podge - The all-purpose glue and adhesive is great for decoupage, assembling collages and makes a great sealant.
  • Texture Paint -Check out Plaid's new texture paint, great for making models, maps and more.
  • Crayons
  • Permanent Markers
  • Chalkboard Paint -Makes any surface a chalkboard-writing surface.
  • Report Covers-Keep a stash so you don't have to purchase them each time a report is due.
  • Construction Paper
  • empty bottles and containers of various shapes
