The guides don't have supply lists because they really are very basic supplies and many substitutions are suggested. Here are some basics to get you started though...
Lots of copy paper (we like white cardstock), some colored construction paper (large and small), scissors, a ruler, some small index cards, some washable paint and a few paintbrushes, clear tape, masking tape, markers, glitter, liquid glue, glue stick, crayons, colored pencils (if possible), play dough or modeling clay, some yarn, paper punch, pencils, a black Sharpie, stapler - your basic art stuff.
We used a 3 ring binder with clear plastic sleeves as a neat portfolio of the year. We also used cotton balls and/or Q-tips from time to time. Things like tin foil, plastic wrap, paper towels, a coffee filter, coffee or tea grounds, etc. from the kitchen are used from time to time too. One time it called for dry laundry flakes - that was the only time I didn't have what I needed on hand. Any food type items are easily substituted based on what you have on hand. That is pretty much it! We always have had the stuff on hand, other than the laundry flakes time. HOD really makes it easy on us moms that way!
Have fun with all of this great hands-on stuff, and when in doubt, you can always skim the next week before hitting the grocery store, but I haven't found that to be necessary yet, and we've done every HOD guide so far.
HTH!
In Christ,

that is the kind of basic stuff that should be on hand but isn't right now so i feel we miss out a little) I want to be able to build our supplies up plus my mother in law has a lot of craft stuff she can send me as well as goes to an auction regularly that has a LOT of stuff so she can be gathering for me.
