Every classroom supply list starts with pens, books and glue sticks. But the supplies that make lessons come alive - the art, the craft, the creative bits - are the ones that run out mid-term and are hardest to replace in a hurry. Here is the term-ahead restock guide for the creative side of the classroom.
Art and craft basics
The foundation of any creative lesson. Stock up on art and craft supplies - recognisable names like Staedtler, Derwent, Faber-Castell and Crayola that survive a busy classroom.
Drawing and sketching
For older students and dedicated art programs, quality drawing supplies make a real difference - graded pencils, technical sets and the tools that let students do their best work.
The specialist paper
The bits that are always missing when you need them: tracing papers for design and technical work, and visual art diaries for students to develop and keep their work in one place.
Geometry and technical
Do not forget the maths and technical drawing kit - a compass set and the geometry basics that get shared thin by week three.
Keep it organised
Round it off with classroom organisation to keep the creative supplies sorted, and teacher resources to support the lessons.
