I'm buying the "rocks" and the sketchbooks. My preschool sons will adore the rocks and my 5 and 7 yo girls will love the books. We've already used your watercolor ideas. For my husband's Birthday I cut the watercolor paper into hearts, each of the children painted one, waited for it to dry, then wrote a message over the paint. Quite lovely. And we love prismacolor too. Once we discovered them, my children actually prefered them to markers. We haven't replaced our whole set yet, but I replaced a handful of colors a few months ago--thankfully, Blick sells singles. Thank you! I’m buying the “rocks” and the sketchbooks.

Great idea--probably means one or two less pleas for a new box of watercolors! Please don’t tell the flylady but I never thought about taking time to clean up the mess IN the paintbox!

I just started getting some more expensive materials like Prismacolor pencils and paints in tubes for times when my 5yo and I do "special art" together while my 2yo naps. For every day we use the crayola ones though the colors tend to get very mixed up. I'll have to try wiping them out with a rag. I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of that :) I’m going to have to make an art bag to take outside now that we’re having lots of warm days.
