 Perfect for encouraging independence!

Review:  "We have had 2 of these hanging on our preschool wall for approximately two years now. They are hung at slightly different heights to be comfortable for the kids, and receive daily use. We use newsprint paper instead of the easel roll, and the magnets allow the kids to be completely self-sufficient when doing art. We love that there are no legs to trip over!"

 5-Star Review/ 5-Star Overall

  "Awesome!"

Review:  "Great product. Easy for special needs kid with low muscle tone and poor coordination. We used it with a helmet and went down a slight incline in our driveway, just to make it even easier to pedal and more rewarding. It was so easy to pedal that my child wanted to pedal a little further. It's gotten her to pedal about 10-15 feet so far independently, which was impossible with all the 3 other bikes we tried. Adults can stand on bar behind seat to help steer. Highly recommend it!"

Pros: Stores Easily, Good Variety, Easy To Use
Best Uses: Art
Bottom Line: "Yes, I would recommend this to a friend."

Review: "I bought and used these puppet kits for my 3.5 year old son. Also gave a set to a friend's 2 year old daughter as a birthday gift. We used teh Discount School Supply brand glue sticks. It worked great! My son enjoys these and I enjoy making them with him. He needs some guidance, but he is getting better at putting the pattern together the more we do. Each puppet comes individually packaged with all the pieces and a picture of the final product for instructions. They are ver colorful and tidy! I will definitely buy more for my children and others."

You'll keep your hands and your work area clean with these convenient glue jars. The application brushes are attached to the inside of their caps, making gluing a breeze and cleanup a snap.

Here's what Miss Tiffany from Seattle, WA had to say about the Colorations® Glue Jar with Brush - Set of 12:

Rating: 5 stars (out of 5)

We were really struggling to find a way to have our class of 2.5-5 year olds use glue for their projects, especially since they have fallen in love with making picture collages. This glue bottle is the best! We tried everything and it would either break, dry out, encourage over use or ruin our paint brushes. All of our kids can use these! They took away the task of cleaning up a tray and brushes and they are so easy to grab and quickly put on the table. We will continue to buy these anytime we need more and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Thanks Miss Tiffany!

Featured Review - Colorations® Liquid Watercolor

Liquid Watercolor has long been one of our teacher's favorite items here at Discount School Supply. With such intense, vibrant colors and so many uses, it's no wonder why! Visit discountschoolsupply.com today to see our complete line of Liquid Watercolors and accessories.

TeachersPet from Clovis, CA sent us the product review below, complete with some fun activities! Have a fun idea or activity you've done with Liquid Watercolor? Send us your reviews and let us know what you think!

"Bright Beautiful Colors!!
OMGosh - this is a product that EVERY art shelf should have! The color is bright and bold, not like the dry water color you buy in trays. Liquid Water Color blends beautifully to teach secondary colors. I cut out shamrock shapes out of coffee filters and got them damp. I had my class put yellow drops and then blue drops on their shamrocks. My preschools squeeled when it turned green, 'It's Magic!' This product is amazing. I put liquid water color in small plastic art pallets or in small bowls. We use eye droppers (or medicine droppers) to apply the color to coffee filters, wet and dry for different effects. We make butterflies, Mother's Day hats, or die cut the filters to make our rainbow fish. They alway turn out beautiful. By using eye droppers it helps develop small motor skills and pre-writing skills. Try this: Freeze water in a balloon - this will give you a round frozen globe. Put the globe in pan and remove balloon. Help your kids spoon rock salt on top of globe - the salt will melt tunnels through out the globe. Now, using eye droppers, drop liquid water color on the globe. Look at your tunnels with a flash light and magnigy glass. This will keep your children busy for hours! Liquid Water Color is a must have for those who love to have fun and creat beautiful masterpieces!"

Featured Review - InstaSnow™ from Discount School Supply

Here's what one of our customers, a teacher from Los Angeles, CA, had to say about InstaSnow™ from Discount School Supply:

"Almost the Real Thing

We discovered this product and decided to try it with our 4-5 year olds. We did not bother mixing it in front of them because we wanted to make it seem real. We mixed it after school and then put it in a plastic bag and stuck it in the freezer for the night. It froze into a pretty big ball the first time, so a parent broke it apart next morning. Some snowballs remained and it was possible to squish snow into a snow ball. The next day we took it out and placed it in a deep water table - "See All" Sand and Water Table with Lid * Item #: 8WWSEEALL

The snow remains really cold all day. Obviously we had the water table where it could be monitored by an adult. We refroze it at the end of the day. Kids love it and have played with it for 2 weeks. An authentic experience for kids that have never been to the snow."

Featured Review - Lego® Basic Bulk Bricks - 884 Pieces

Specially designed with open-ended play in mind, the Lego® Basic Bulk Bricks from Discount School Supply provides endless fun for all ages.  With this huge set, children can construct all sorts of life-like or imaginary objects, figures and buildings, while promoting creative expression and communicating ideas.  Use with the Large Lego® Base Plates, also available from Discount School Supply, as a starting point for hours of building fun!

Read what one Discount School Supply customer from Dauphin, PA has to say about the Lego® Basic Bulk Bricks:

"Just what we were looking for!

My youngest daughter asked for Legos for her birthday, but didn't want the pre-packaged kits in the stores. This was mainly because they are geared to boys, and she wanted to use her imagination to create, instead of putting together somebody elses idea. (Also, in my opinion the prices for these kits at the stores are outrageous!) Since the kits are what are mostly being carried in the stores anymore, I searched out alternatives, until I found your site. I was pleasantly surprised to find this item, and the price was great. She has spent countless hours playing with her Legos since recieving them, and has been building/rebuilding her "dream home" over and over. This is a great item for encouraging creativity, and I am so happy to have found your site. Thank you for offering this great product."

Crafting with Lever Punches from Discount School Supply

Paper punches are a wonderful crafting tool for adding embellishments to cards, scrapbooks, photo frames and more.  This set of 10 Easy to Use Lever Punches available at Discount School Supply gives you plenty of design options for your next crafting project.

Read what Cassa, a parent from McKinney, TX, has to say about the Lever Punches from Discount School Supply:

"Even a 3 year old can use these!

These are great for punching through foam and there are so many creative activities one can do with them, but the best thing about them is that my 3 year old daughter can use them without any trouble. Standard hole punches are too large and require a strong grip, whereas these are stable and don't require much effort to push. She LOVES crafting with all the various shapes in this set, and the price for 10 together is better than I could find for even three sold separately!"

"The Most Amazing Paint You'll Ever Use!

I really can't say enough good things about BioColor Paint. We started using it the day it arrived. We never got past the "ink blot test". In addition to this kit I ordered a pack of white construction paper and the only reason it took us 4 days to go through it was that we had to keep stopping paintin because we ran out of room for our artwork to dry! I have always done art projects with my daughter, but this is the most fun I have ever had.
I have used it for sponge painting on some cheap canvases to make artwork to hang in my room. It looks like something expensive! The paint will hold it's texture when it dries,ie.,if you sponge it on or apply with the scraping tools. I have also used it on metal cans and on glass jars with great results.
This kit has nearly everything you could ever want or need. I highly recomend ordering LOTS of construction paper and an extra dozen Nancy bottles so you can mix a whole set with the Shimmer It and/or Sparkle It. For the holidays,also, you shoul order extra of the clear ornaments. They are so much fun to "paint", you'll wish you had. The clean up is amazingly easy!"

CandRMom, a parent from New York, sent us the product review below for our Colorations® Washable Glitter Paint, 16 oz.:

"Love This Paint
My 5 and 2 year olds LOVE to paint, and this paint is their favorite. They don't ever use their other paint, which is just your standard colors and no glitter. They love to feel like artists with this paint, and the added glitter makes their paintings sparkle in the sun. It is amazingly easy to wash off - I usually get a little crazy when the kids get stained with markers and paint, but I am a relaxed mom when they spill this or make a mess. It comes off their skin and out of clothes VERY easily!!! I will keep buying this as my kids get low on their paint supplies."

I am just estatic to find such great play dough at such a great price!"
