Featured Review: Real Stretched Canvas - Set of 6

Check out this featured review of the Real Stretched Canvas - Set of 6 from a very satisfied Discount School Supply customer and administrator in KY:

5-Star Review / 5-Star Overall

"Ideal!"

Pros: easy to use, easy storage, "inexpensive", "sturdy well-made", "great size"

Best Uses: creative projects

Review: "We used these canvases in our adult day program. They were able to use a variety of paints/textures to create a picture of the things they're grateful for, the things that make them happy, or the things about themselves of which they are the most proud. The results were not only beautiful, but endearing, and we are so proud of the art gallery we now get to enjoy daily and show off to our visitors and guests. The size of these canvases was a perfect one to work with - not so big they're overwhelming, not so small they get lost in display."

Bottom Line: "Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."

Professional grade, authentic, stretched canvases are primed with gesso - they're 100% cotton canvas! Canvas accepts all Colorations® paints. Ideal for enhancing fine motor and creative skills in young children. Real canvas encourages self-esteem and adds value to creations. Perfect for gifts. 9"L x 12"W x 3/4"H.

Featured Review: No-Spill White Lid Paint Cups - Set of 10

Check out this featured review of the No-Spill White Lid Paint Cups - Set of 10 from a very satisfied Discount School Supply customer and mother from Green Bay, WI:

5-Star Review / 4.8-Star Overall

"Really are spill proof!"

Pros: "Easy to use","Stores well","Spill Proof"

Best Uses: Art, Fun With Kids, School

Review: "I couldn't believe that these [paint cups] would really be spill proof. I bought them because they seemed well balanced and a neat way of keeping paint and brushes together nicely. When I saw my toddler toting these around the kitchen (sideways) with watercolor paint in them, I was impressed. When I thought that I could quickly dump the contents without removing the brush holder, I was even more impressed as the vast majority of it stayed put inside the container. The trick is to only fill up to the line - but that is more than generous."

Bottom Line: "Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."
 
Fill with ANY color of paint! Specially designed with white lids these spill-proof cups are ideal for ANY color of paint. No-spill design keeps paint in the cup even when knocked over. Easy-to-clean, 10 white lids and caps, 10 clear cups. 3-1/2"H x 3"Dia. Spill-proof design is ideal for beginning painters and younger artists. Washes easily with soap and water.

Featured Review: Complete BioColor® Paint Kit



Check out this featured review of the Complete BioColor® Paint Kit from a very satisfied Discount School Supply customer and parent from Frederick, MD on 3/4/2011:

5-Star Review / 4.7-Star Overall

"Best Paint Kit Ever!"

Pros: Glides Smoothly, Good Color Variety, Fun,"Versatile"

Best Uses: Fun With Kids, Art

Review: "My kids love to paint, and I have been searching for good quality paint for a long time. Tempera is okay but tends to chip away and is very dull; Crayola's washable paint requires several coats to cover, and craft store 2 oz. acrylic bottles seem to disappear way to fast and can get expensive. I came across BioColor®, saw everything that you can do with it, and decided to give it a try....well, I will never buy another brand of paint...BioColor® is awesome!!! The paint is so smooth, not clumpy at all! My kids loved it, and the possibilities are only limited by your imagination! I love that it comes with the Nancy™ twist-top bottles; I would suggest getting the wire basket for the bottles...just makes transporting so much easier! Overall, this is a great starter kit, and I will definitely be purchasing the fluorescent colors soon! My only regret is that I did't try this paint years earlier when I was still a daycare provider!"

Bottom Line: "Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."

This kit is loaded with fun and value. BioColor® kit includes the supplies to make 10 different classroom activities right away! Make stickers, ornaments, fabric paint projects, shimmery metallic paint, resist art projects, marble paint crafts, glitter paint, reverse paint designs, everyday easel paintings or table top painting and much more.

Featured Review: Nancy™ Bottle Chrome Caddy

Check out this featured review of the Nancy™ Bottle Chrome Caddy by a very satisfied Discount School Supply customer and grandparent from St George, Utah on 2/24/2011:

"A MUST HAVE!"

Cons: "No cons at all."

Best Uses: school, art, fun with kids, community events art.

How many times have you purchased this product: more than once.

Bottom Line: "Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."

Review: "The caddy (and the Nancy™ paint bottles) are great! They make organizing an art space easy. They make it quick to set-up and clean-up for painting activities. I have used them for many years as an artist, preschool teacher, children's art instructor, community art event coordinator for children's area, and as a grandmother. I keep ordering new ones because I keep giving them away. All my grandchildren have their own.

Featured Review: Crayola® Write-Start® Colored Pencils

Check out this featured review of the Crayola® Write-Start® Colored Pencils - Set of 8 from a very satisfied Discount School Supply customer and parent from Michigan:

5-Star Review / 4.8-Star Overall

"Nice design."

Pros: Fun, Comfortable Grip, Good Color Variety, Glides Smoothly

Best Uses: School, Fun With Kids, Art

Review: "We purchased these because we used them in an art class. We were "sold" once we used them in class. We got a set for home. These pencils are not only beautiful; they are functional. I think any age child would like them. They are thicker than a regular pencil, and the coverage they make is almost like a crayon. It's brilliant and precise. They have wood on the outside with cute figures all over them, like the green is covered with little frogs. My dad was so impressed; he bought seven more for all his other grandchildren, ranging in ages from 9-16! Nice, nice product."

Bottom Line: "Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."

These chubby, hexagon-shaped pencils are easy for small hands to use. Smooth application and extra thick tips. 8 colors: black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. 7/16" Dia.

Featured Review: Best Value Paint Smock with Sleeves

Check out this featured review of the Best Value Paint Smock with Sleeves from a very satisfied Discount School Supply customer and grandparent from Marshalltown, Iowa.

"Absolutely wonderful."

Pros: Easy To Use, Stores Easily, "All Covered"

Best Uses: Art

Review: "I bought this last year for my grandson and I to do activities: cooking, baking, art work and him coloring with chalk or markers. Just perfect - I have never found anything as comfortable and with the best coverage for him. He is going to be 4 next month, and he asks for the smock when we start our activity. I bought 2 more to have in case we have more children working on a project at once. The best part is his clothes are spared."

The Best Value Paint Smock with Sleeves is a great value at a low price! Children can get creative and stay neat with this easy-to-use, lightweight vinyl smock! Sleeves measure 16"L with elastic at wrists making sleeves adjustable for multiple size arms. Smock is 20"L x 15 1/2"W. Features and easy hook and loop back closure and is hassle-free to clean up - just wipe with a damp cloth. A great money-saving alternative to fabric smocks and it's latex free!
