Here are the items needed for this course:
- wooden chopsticks, the kind you'd get with takeout. If you do not have any of these, kabob sticks can work, however they are easily breakable. A thin dowel from the arts and crafts section works too. Make sure it's made of wood and not plastic!
- hot glue gun (I use a smaller handheld one that does not heat up to a high degree like the larger sized ones)
- several glue sticks for the glue gun. Colour does not matter as it will be painted over top
- acrylic paints in the colours your child would like for their wand
- paintbrush to paint the wand

Optional items:
- a placemat to keep work area clean.
- apron or other similar smock to keep clothes clean.
- "fillers" these can help bulk up the hot glue, requiring less hot glue. Craft supplies like tinsel, or foam balls work well for this. Pompoms and pipe cleaners can also work if completely covered with glue too.
- a piece of foam, to help anchor the wand while dripping glue or while painting.
- A hot gun, used often for embossing and other arts and crafts. Not necessary, but can be useful if wanting to create a more customized wand shape.
- a bowl of ice. This can help cool down the hot glue so the wand keeps its shape.
- a jar of water for the paint.
- an easel for the paint.

Students who are not skilled in the use of a hot glue gun may be required to have parental guidance to complete this course.
