DD is two, and we have an art trolley that's filled with:

Stickers
Glitter and glue sticks [glitter is locked so only I can get it, oof that would be bad]
Construction paper
Pretty scrapbooking paper
Oil pastels
Finger paints
Crayons

Colored Pencils
Foam pieces and shapes
Different craft kits

Pom poms
Pipe cleaners
Modeling clay
Play-doh
Feathers
Faux moss
Rocks

One thing that's helped with keeping paints from getting all mixed together is to always have more brushes than different colors. Right after I started letting DD use jars of paint we had the colors turning into striped, brownish and gray. Things like spatulas are good for painting too. Everything else seems to have been mentioned.

also

tissue paper
wooden shapes
chalk pastels
watercolor crayons

we are loving have acrylic as well as tempera paints.
