Crayola art supplies for school
Crayola Art Supplies for School: What to Choose for Your Little Artist?
Art supplies may seem like just one simple category on a school supplies list, but there are actually many different options to choose from. Markers, coloured pencils, crayons, gouache and watercolours each offer a different way for children to draw, colour and explore their creativity.
Crayola offers art supplies for children of different ages, making it easy to choose suitable products both for school and home, depending on what your child can already do and what they are still discovering.
Drawing Supplies for Little Hands
For the youngest children, it is not only important what kind of marks a drawing tool makes on paper. It is also important how easy and comfortable the tool is to hold.
The Crayola range includes drawing supplies for children from 1 year of age, designed with younger children in mind. A child's first drawing experiences can be very simple – a few lines, circles and colourful marks. Through these first attempts, children begin to discover what they can create with their own hands.
One Set Doesn't Have to Do Everything
Using different art supplies for kids gives children the opportunity to discover that each tool works in a slightly different way.
Coloured pencils are great for more precise colouring and adding details.
Markers can be used to create clear, bold lines.
Crayons are ideal for creating larger areas of colour.
Watercolours allow children to experiment with the relationship between water and colour.
Gouache paints offer the opportunity to create stronger, more opaque areas of colour.
When children have different drawing and painting supplies available at home or at school, they can choose the tool that best suits what they want to create.
Washable Markers Give Children More Freedom
For parents, it can also be important to consider how easy it is to clean up after a creative activity.
The Crayola range includes washable markers that are easier to remove from different surfaces, including skin, furniture, fabric and other surfaces.
This is particularly practical for younger children, whose drawings may occasionally extend beyond the paper. When children can experiment freely and parents do not have to treat every colourful mark as a disaster, creative time becomes easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
Art Supplies Can Grow with Your Child
Children's skills develop quickly. What works well for a two-year-old may no longer be enough for a child in the early school years.
That is why it is worth choosing art supplies for children based on their current skills and interests. Younger children may benefit from thicker, easy-to-grip drawing tools, while older children may want a wider range of colours, finer drawing tools and more opportunities to experiment with painting.
There is also no need to buy every type of art supply at once. You can gradually expand your collection based on what your child enjoys using most.
Leave Room for Creativity When Preparing for School
August is a good time to check your school supplies, but that does not mean everything has to be purely practical or required.
Crayola art supplies give children an opportunity to create alongside their everyday schoolwork. Drawing can be a welcome break from writing, colouring can be a way to explore new ideas, and painting offers a completely different way to discover colours and creative techniques.
There is currently a 30% off school supplies promotion in our online store, making it a great time to stock up on the art supplies your child needs for the new school year.
Get School Supplies Ready Before the First Day
The start of the school year always seems to arrive sooner than expected. That is why it is worth taking care of small preparations already in August.
Book covering paper helps prepare textbooks and notebooks and makes organising school supplies easier. When it is ready along with the other essential school supplies, you can start the new school year feeling more organised and without the stress of last-minute shopping.
Choose Art Supplies Your Child Will Actually Enjoy Using
A good art supply does not have to be the most complicated product or the largest set. What matters most is that it is appropriate for the child's age, comfortable to use and gives them the freedom to experiment.
The Crayola range includes art supplies for children from 1 year of age, as well as a variety of drawing and painting supplies for school-aged children. This gives every little artist the opportunity to choose the tools they enjoy and use them to bring their own ideas to life throughout the new school year.
