Do i add supplies to expenses if i kept them/still use them for same purpose?

If I paid out of pocket for craft activities for childcare, do I add those as expenses if I kept & currently use them now for childcare?

If you have a business providing child care, and you bought supplies for use in your business, then their cost is deductible in your business.

Thank you! Would it be best to only do so if I kept the receipt?
