What Art can do for
your Child
 Cicero
said, "Art is born of the observation and
investigation of nature." If this is true, you
can see why art can be beneficial to a child.
Art and creativity toys can enhance a child's
development in the areas of creativity,
cognitive development, problem solving
techniques, fine motor skills and imagination.
Did you know that you can get all that from an
afternoon with finger paints? And there is the
added bonus of the messiness factor - an
attractive quality to most children. Are you
convinced that art needs to be a part of your
child's day? Then read on for tips on how to
find the best art and creativity toys for your
family.
One drawback in allowing kids to indulge in
regular art session is the mess. Crayola has
solved that problem with "Colour Wonder"
products that have been added to arts and crafts
shelves everywhere. Colour wonder is an entire
line of art supplies that includes markers,
stamps and finger-paints. The unique
characteristic is that the supplies will only
work on the special Colour Wonder paper that has
been designed just for them. This makes these
products a life saver for mums who envision
furniture and walls adorned with their child's
latest handiwork.
Another great idea for budding artists is the
virtually mess-free Magic Scribbler boards.
These boards come with an attached pen that
allows you to draw masterpieces to your heart's
content on the board. Some come with stamps that
will create shapes, letters and numbers as well.
Once your work is complete, simply slide the
lever across the bottom to erase that picture
and begin another. Both of these types of art
and creativity toys are perfect for travelling
in the car or visiting the doctor's office.
Just for Girls
When it comes to art and creativity toys, girls
really rock with kits that are designed
especially for them. Try out beading,
scrapbooking or card making kits with plenty of
girly colours and designs. You can also find
sets that will teach your daughter the timeless
crafts like knitting or crochet. You can even
find child-sized sewing machines and weaving
looms that will give girls a taste of working
with a variety of textiles.
Lots for Boys
Don't think that arts and crafts are just for
the girls either, because boys love to get messy
as well. Give boys a hands-on kind of art and
creativity toy like modelling clay and see what
they think of to create. Another fun craft for
boys and girls alike is a set of BloPens that
actually change colour as you work with them.
You never know what the finished product is
going to look like!
Art and creativity toys will nurture your
child's imagination and build self confidence
like few other types of toys can. Don't fear the
messy - stock up on a few supplies that will
allow the inner artist in your child to shine
through! |
