When it comes to activity supplies, I try to work with the same few items. That way, I can make my toddler or preschooler activity in a jiffy without having to rummage around trying to find it all. This simple list of supplies is everything you need for early learning activities.

As a mom of three, I need simple activities that take less than five minutes to set up.
