I'm trying to stock up for DS (4) and DD (3) for the summer holidays.
Any suggestions for craft materials/activities would be brilliant.

I think the main thing is the preparation - a very large plastic table cloth and plastic aprons and a sponge and the world is your oyster!!

Lots of plain paper (cheap pads from the supermarket) and felt tip pens. DD is particularly fond of glitter pens and they are less messy than glue and glitter separately. Stickers. Paint. Play doh.

Washable felt tips
foam shapes from wilkinsons
tissue paper
glue stick
PVA glue
coloured A4 paper
A4 white paper
Coloured pencils
Brass split pins for doing clock faces etc
Children's scissors
coloured cardboard
roll of lining paper
bubble wrap
paper bowls and plates
egg box / cereal boxes
Rubber + pencil sharpener

I don't have this level of detail always to hand, I'm just typing looking over the craft box! DS is 3.

Sorry I've just read that you're after activity inspiration as well. We've done cutting up coloured tissue paper and gluing it to a cardboard box pirate ship, made elmer the elephant drawings using mum's limited elephant drawing skills and DS on the tissue paper squares and glue. Also, look up milk bottle elephants, and have a look on Pinterest, where there's loads of stuff.

Oh, and get blutack if you haven't got any. The best bit for DS is getting it displayed on his bedroom wall.

My 3 yr old is really into sticking things together. I find masking tape v useful to have around. She can manage to use it independently, you can draw over it, and if she uses it to stick pictures to walls, doors etc it generally can be removed without any hassle.
