I really like the foam stickers that have the peel off back. They come in all sorts of shapes.

all of the above. Plus I love bleeding tissue paper, clear contact paper, and various craft papers.
I also keep an ongoing collage bin. I toss in there left overs. I cut up gift wrap and anything else I see with potential. I keep a separate Christmas themed one. I also have started a fall one.
One other thing I did years back was I started collage bags for each color. They are great because they are an instant something.
So, when my dd is home on breaks from college and I need stuff done I have her work on collage stuff for me. Last winter I ended up with a big bag of punched stars Various scraps of construction paper she went through with a star punch.

I buy a lot of it myself but I have a lot of parents who bring in tons of stuff listed.

well these aren't so much art supplies (maybe art adjacent) but some things for organizing or other helpful things for when kids do art (mostly things you can get at the $1 store):
1. Plastic rain poncho (for smocks; I think they have a pack of 2)
2. Shower curtains (to cover floors or furniture; like tarps but cheaper)
3. Over the door shoe rack (to organize supplies so its visible to the children; saw it in a video about a Reggio Emilia classroom)
4. Shower caps (if they are very messy or have long hair)
the only art supplies I can think of that weren't mentioned:
1. Ribbons
2. Coffee filters
3. Q tips
4. pieces of scrap fabric
5. Felt (really cheap fabric-ish squares)
6. Cardboard
7. Food coloring (some people like it better than paint)
8. Milk cartons/jugs
9. Rocks/pebbles
10. Seashells/starfish
11. toothpicks (supervised, of course)
I would have mentioned dried pastas or cereals but I try to stay away from the "macaroni art" because I think it kinda is a waste of food.
Plus lets be honest, I am sure most parents don't have any outfits that go good with a macaroni jewelry.
