Art classes often require a surprisingly varied selection of materials. Coloured pencils, markers, oil pastels, drawing pads, glue, scissors, tempera paints, brushes and modelling clay may all be used during the school year.
A ready-made school art supplies list for 2026-2027 provides a practical starting point, allowing families to organise the essentials first and add any specific items requested by the teacher.
Aristidou.gr offers three different options designed around age and the level of materials required.

Basic or Complete?
Choose the Basic List when you want the core art essentials and prefer to add specialist materials later.
Choose the Complete List when you want broader coverage for painting, crafts and modelling from the start.
For kindergarten and first grade, the dedicated younger-children's set is the more appropriate starting point.
Before You Order
Always compare the contents of the set with the list supplied by the school.
Teacher requirements may vary, so a ready-made art supplies set should be treated as an organised foundation rather than a replacement for the school's specific instructions.
