I found this AWESOME craft kit at Target that includes most of supplies necessary for this activity. It’s less than $25 and is so cool! I linked it below in case you’re interested in adding it to your drive up order!
I’m also linking the file folder I use to store all of my kids art projects. I pre-labeled it from birth-college so I can their important/noteworthy projects like report cards, school photos, artwork, etc. organized and then hand it off to them when they go off on their own!
