Post-It Notes
Scotch Magic Tape
In general, any art or office supplies that have adhesive should be considered to contain gluten unless one finds out otherwise from the company, so no licking envelopes, no stickers adhered skin unless they are on the list above, etc. Always err on the side of caution.
For those concerned about soy exposure, Prang and Dixon/Ticonderoga both have soy crayons that are labeled as such. Also all the Color Wonder products, all the Crayola colored pencils, the washable markers, all Palmer products, the oil paints, contain soy.
