    Rainbow Craft Supplies

    There is something about rainbow supplies that make all the crafts that much more HAPPY.

    Those that know me, know that I love myself a stocked craft closet. My "closet" is more a room at this point, but holy moly I love well stocked craft supplies. Rainbow craft supplies at that.

    I get asked often about what supplies I have on hand to keep the kids busy. Rather than isolate just a few craft supplies, I put together a comprehensive list of basic (rainbow) kids craft supplies that I keep on hand that will keep your kids busy till the kids are off to college.
