The Top Art Products For Kids and Adults

I have been a teacher for over 30 years and Crayola products have always been the standard for quality. The colors from the pencils, markers, crayons, and paint always come out beautiful. I have watched throughout the school year while children struggle with inferior quality art supplies. They never have the true vivid colors of the other children. I see them borrowing their supplies from classmates and friends. I believe every child should have the opportunity for quality learning and this is true with art education.

My suggestion to parents is to look for these quality product and give your child the competitive edge. A good part of being successful in the classroom is knowing you produce quality work. Self-esteem is difficult to develop in children when they are given inferior tools for learning.

Arts and crafts have come a long way in recent years. There are innovations with computer aided learning for developing creativity. In a time when creative ability give an individual the competitive edge why not give children all the opportunity available. There are so many products available.

High quality art mediums are easy for children to use as the color flows freely. While many brands are available most people prefer a favorite brand. If is good to consider the washability of the product. Should a child color on the wall, it is good to have a product that is easily washable and does not stain. You will find that some of the least expensive brands will stay on the wall and repainting may be in order to cover the mess.

Markers, color pencils and crayons are also available in different diameter to accommodate the size of a child hand and their coordination level. It is important to choose the product that are appropriate for the child according to their age.

The books range from the old favorite of dragons, princesses and flower. Newer version include Mandala and other soothing coloring activities. The books make a great gift and with the new surge in the market they can be found in most any subject matter.

I have recently discovered adult coloring and can't seem to get enough. The picture are very detailed and require a lot of thought when it comes to choosing colors. They can be very relaxing and the medium I enjoy is color pencils. The pencils are easy to manipulate and come in a wide variety of colors.
