Kids Art Supplies

Must-have kids art supplies

Kids gain so much when we nurture their artistic and creative tendencies but, when it comes down to it, encouraging kids to get involved in arts and crafts is simply a tried and tested method for them to have some plain, old fun.

Some parents shudder at the thought of the clean-up after unleashing their kids on paint but it doesn't have to be that way. Water-based options - like poster paint, non-drip acrylic paints and watercolour sets - are versatile, inexpensive, vivid and non-toxic, which means they're totally safe, produce stunning results and ensure cleaning up is easy.

You can also find purpose-designed brushes and brush sets for experimentation by younger hands and minds, chalks and other markers like crayons and pencils, as well as smocks to keep their clothes presentable and splash mats to protect the carpets and floors.

As well as being heaps of fun, when kids participate in arts and crafts, they're learning developmental skills like attention and focus, hand-eye coordination and problem-solving - as well as key social skills like teamwork and socialising with other kids - that will help set them on the right course in life.
