If there is one word I would use to tell parents about what kids want in the art room it would be paper. Kids want paper - any kind of paper - xerox paper, envelopes, post it notes, newspaper, note cards - they will take any kind of paper and use what they have to create art.
I have scraps of colored paper left over from lessons and they will take that paper and create the most amazing things when they have extra time in the art room - hats, paper cell phones, caves, animals, houses and just plain coloring and drawing - they love it. You don't have to spend a lot of money to provide hours of creativity for your child - paper, scissors, glue stick and crayons - they will take it from there.
