Crayola Round Synthetic Paint Brush Set, Assorted Size, Assorted Color, Set of 5

One of the best and cheap brush sets I have ever come across. They hold up well (synthetic bristles), easy to clean, and I have used them for everything from glue to watercolor, and acrylic. Having different brush types is a huge plus too! For one project, I had these brushes sitting in water (glue brushes) for MONTHS and they still held up. Having tried many brushes that fall apart (especially the wood ones), too expensive (especially when ordering individually), these brushes are my favorite.

Sax Sulphite Drawing Paper, 90 lb, 9 x 12 Inches, Extra-White, 500 Sheets

The best paper for every project! I am very conservative with paper in my classroom and ask students to use the back or "make it work" when mistakes happen. Best price I could find for paper. Holds up well to watercolor.

Sargent Art 12 Non-Spill Paint Cups, Funnel shaped cap, Spill-Proof, White Cap, Inner rim seals

Oh my gosh, I am in love with these cups. The most affordable and I use them for EVERYTHING. Glue, water, paint, small odds, and ends. Saved my classroom carpet a number of times, provides an edge to wipe the brush, and is the most economical way to use glue in the classroom (stop wasting money on glue sticks). For glue, I had a supply of "glue brushes" that would just sit in water.
