If you're tired of buying art supplies one marker at a time (and then losing half of them by Tuesday), this kit is about to save your sanity.
The Colossal Crayola Art Supply Kit is a screen-free, open-and-go art supply kit that basically says: yes, you can do real art at home without the “we’re out of glue again” spiral. It’s packed with the classic, good-quality basics kids actually use—so they can draw, paint, cut, glue, and build without you running a mini craft store out of your kitchen.
This isn’t one tiny project and done. It’s a full creative starter set (or a much-needed art supply refill) that gives kids a buffet of options depending on the day and their mood. They can paint on the watercolor pad, sketch and shade with colored pencils, draw and outline with markers and crayons, or go full “tiny sculptor” with modeling clay. And when they want to make something bigger—cards, posters, mini-books, collage scenes, puppet stages, paper cities—you’ve got a whole pack of construction paper ready to go.
Here’s what’s included (aka the stuff that usually disappears one item at a time until art time turns into a negotiation):
- Crayola 96 count construction paper pack
- Creatology watercolor pad (40 sheets)
- Crayola 16 ct oil pastels
- Crayola watercolor palette
- 24 ct Crayola crayons
- Crayola markers (10 ct)
- 12 ct colored pencils
- Creatology paint sticks (10 ct)
- Crayola modeling clay (2 packs, 8 ct each)
- Elmer’s glue bottle + Elmer’s glue stick
- Crayola scissors
- Create-A-Space mini caddy (Learning Resources)
Educationally, this kit is sneaky in the best way. While kids are “just making art,” they’re building fine motor strength (coloring, cutting, gluing, sculpting), improving hand-eye coordination, and practicing real planning skills like sequencing (“first I sketch, then I paint, then I add details”) and decision-making (“do I want pastels or paint sticks for this?”). Art also teaches persistence—because if you’ve ever watched a kid problem-solve a ripped paper edge or a watercolor puddle, you know they’re learning how to adapt and keep going.
It’s also perfect for creative confidence. This kit gives kids enough variety to experiment without feeling boxed into one “right” outcome. Some days they’ll follow a plan. Other days they’ll make an abstract masterpiece that looks like “a tornado, but happy.” Both count. And honestly? Art time can be a pretty amazing calm-down tool too—for kids and parents.
Gift-wise, this one is such a slam dunk. It’s perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Hanukkah, homeschool “new term” treats, rainy-day survival gifts, or that moment when you realize you need a screen-free activity that will last longer than 12 minutes. It’s also a grandparent win (because it’s fun, useful, and doesn’t make you store a giant noisy toy).
Time-wise, think ongoing use, not one sitting. Many families use this as their go-to art stash for weeks or months. Individual sessions might be 20–45 minutes for drawing/painting, or an hour+ when kids get deep into cutting, building, and creating full scenes. Supervision is minimal, but you’ll want an adult nearby for scissors and to keep an eye on small pieces—especially with younger kids or kids who craft like tiny hurricanes.
Items may vary based on availability. Crates contain products not manufactured by the seller and may include small parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years. Contents are not for consumption. Adult supervisor for scissors is required.
