Your partner for creativity & learning—since 1956.

Not Just a Supplier. A Partner Who Cares.

If you’ve ever opened a box of crafts and thought, “These are going to fall apart,” or watched kids lose interest halfway through… you’re not alone. Late deliveries, confusing kits, and customer support that vanishes when you need help? Yeah—no thanks.

EconoCrafts exists to make arts & crafts programs simple to run, easy to budget for, and actually fun. We specialize in thoughtfully designed arts and crafts supplies and craft kits that work in real group settings—projects built for 20+ kids at once, not just one quiet afternoon at a kitchen table.

If you run a group program and need crafts that work for real people, real budgets, and real timelines—you’re in the right place.

How It All Started (And Why It Still Matters)

EconoCrafts wasn’t born in a boardroom—it was built from a real need. We saw educators and program leaders struggling with crafts that were too expensive, too complicated, or didn’t work in group settings.

So we decided to do things differently.


Since 1956, We’ve Been Helping Programs Thrive

For generations, we’ve helped schools, after-schools, daycares, camps, and creative programs run successful arts & crafts activities with unique kits, dependable supplies, fast shipping, and excellent customer service—and we’re still just as passionate today.


Crafts That Build Skills (Without Feeling Like Homework)

The best crafts do more than “fill time.” They help kids grow—while having fun. Our projects are designed to support confidence and development in ways you can see in real time:

  • Boost creativity and self-expression
  • Improve fine motor skills
  • Strengthen problem-solving
  • Build self-esteem through finished projects
  • Promote socialization and teamwork

Safe, Student-Friendly, Program-Proof

We’re picky on purpose. Many of our items use smooth, easy-to-handle components designed for students of all ages and skill levels. Lots of projects can be assembled with minimal guidance—so you get less chaos and more “Hey, look, Ma! I made it!”
