Want bright colorful artwork?
Art supplies for kids that produce bright colorful pictures, are non-toxic, and that are fun to use are the best kind for preschool and kindergarten children.
Every early childhood classroom needs a two station easel and they are now available with paint storage underneath. The following art supplies for kids are ones that I have used successfully in the classroom for years.
Crayons
Prang Crayons
are my absolute favorite to use with young children. Why?
- They are non-toxic
- The colors are brighter and more intense than most crayons
- They apply more smoothly
- The colors blend nicely
- The crayons do not leave little bits of wax all over the pages and tables
Crayola Markers
Teach kids how to make a broad line with the side of the marker tip or a thin line with the point of the felt.
Kids love to make dots of snow, rain, or just colors and these markers are pretty tough. Crayola markers are mostly washable but a few colors need more than one washing to come out of clothing.
Crayola Markers have bright colors, water-based ink and are a non-toxic art supplies for kids.
Prang tempera paint
When I first started teaching kindergarten I had to mix dusty pigment powders with a goopy mixture every week to fill the paint pots at the easel. Not good for the health or the busy schedule! I really like the Prang washable paint
It is ready to use and has vibrant, non-settling colors. All young children need daily experiences with paint, large papers, and big brushes and students will love painting every day.
