Introducing your child to the world of art is an enriching and rewarding experience. Here are some simple and effective ways to get started.

1. Start by leading by example. Let them see you draw or paint, and encourage them to join in with their own kid-friendly art sets.
2. Create a designated art space with access to a range of supplies and materials, including paints, paint brushes, clay, crayons, and colouring sets.
3. Encourage exploration and inspiration by taking them to museums, art galleries, or by going on nature walks to spark inspiration.
4. Make art a regular part of your day. Set aside time to create different projects with your child and showcase their art around the house to celebrate their accomplishments.

Absolutely! We only source the safest, kid-friendly art supplies for children. Whether you’re shopping for finger paints or arts and crafts sets, parents and caregivers can feel confident knowing they’re ordering art supplies designed specifically for their young artists.

Watercolour paints are considered one of the best types of paint for kids. Since they’re diluted with water, young artists can create different effects and blend colours without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed. Watercolours can be added to various surfaces, such as paper, canvas, and fabric, giving your child more options to create unique artwork. Their quick drying time allows kids to see their finished product right away and gives them the opportunity to build on their work.

Above Ground Art Supplies is proud to offer a wide range of beginner-friendly art supplies for kids. From washable paints and crayons to kid-friendly brushes and crafting kits, we provide all of the materials young artists need to explore their creative side. Our curated list of products is designed to give your child the freedom to experiment with a range of mediums, from Origami to clay and everything in between.

Storing your child’s craft supplies helps keep them organized and accessible whenever they’re ready to create art. Here’s a simple guide to help you get started.

1. 1. Store loose items such as markers, pencil crayons, beads, and glue sticks in clear, stackable containers.
2. 2. Label each container with the contents inside to help your child identify where their supplies are.
3. 3. Use divided trays to keep small items like googly eyes and pom poms separate and organized.
4. 4. Invest in drawers to store larger items like wax supplies, felt sheets, and colouring pads.
