The Art of Being Creative With Crafts Without a Supply List

It wasn't that long after I began my website about crafts and activities for kids that I began to get questions about my supply list. I guess a better way to put that is that I got many emails about my lack of a supply list. The answer that I give is that I left the supply list off of most my crafts and activities on purpose. I feel like supply lists can crush your creativity.

This is not to say that I don't tell you what I use and how I make the various fun craft ideas for kids on my website or how to do the various children's activities. I do give a detailed description for each project and that, in turn, will give you an idea of what I used. However, I am not going to tell you what you HAVE to have in order to do each craft or activity. I decided very early on in the process that if I gave a supply list and the reader didn't have that particular supply then they might just skip over the craft thinking that they can't do it.
