LO's favorite art supplies?

What's a hit in your house? Or, if you have older toddlers, what was a hit when your LOs were younger (DS is 17 months)?

Dillon likes the I think they are called Doodles? They are the little people shaped ball like things with crayons in them from Crayola. He really does not color very long, but those hold his attention more then when we use regular crayons.

Crayons. The regular ones.

Water colors, when she was that age she grooved on the crayola ones, but now that she's older she prefers to more colorful ones, and we buy them at IKEA.

When we can get outside, we use a big old easel and tempera paint. She loves all kinds of paint brushes, and foam ones.

At that age she loved the activity of rolling marbles in paint and rolling them down the slide covered in butcher paper.

Fun foam kits are a big hit too - we do those all the time (and did at 17 months). She loved taking the paper off the stickers and such.

Crayons - any kind, Crayola or Melissa & Doug have been hits

Sidewalk chalk (the large over-sized pieces)

Stickers (I can't remember when she got into those though...may have been a little older

Paint (although this requires constant supervision or an incredible mess)

Playdough

I love the Melissa & Doug pads - they have coloring ones, sticker ones, make your own faces ones. My daughter adores them

For a brief time, she liked those markers that only showed up on the pad they were intended for but she got bored of those quickly.

Also, I avoid those ink stamps as much as possible. my daughter gets the ink everywhere (on her, on furniture) and stamps everything. Even the "washable" ones I've had problems with.

You have to find some dot art paints. they're so awesome!! We've gone through three packs just this year so far.

The girls also like stickers, stampers, and washable glitter glue.

I let the girls dip chalk in water and "paint" with that. It makes just enough mess to be fun.

FYI the Dollar Tree carries the bingo marker thingies.
